You should...in prompt line... do the follow:
"modprobe ne io=0xHHH "
( HHH will be your card address...300,320,and so...)
if you detect your card you need to edit your conf.modules file under /etc
dir
"vi conf.modules"
and be sure that you have something like this:
"alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0xHHH"
save
reboot
And enjoy

Are there any known problems with Redhat 6.0 and NFS? I never had problems
with Redhat 5.2. Now, whenever I try to mount something that is exported I
find that the client is refused due to a permission failure. I had a stable
set up with 5.2. Is there anything that changed in terms of NFS
configuration from 5.2 to 6.0?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a RH5.1 system, and have upgraded the kernel to 2.2.9. (I believe
I've upgraded everything else as required by the kernel upgrade.) I also
installed ipchains and diald, and found it necessary to modify several
scripts to add routes.
I noticed this message, repeated every few seconds, in my logs:
Jul 11 11:50:46 oldbox routed[374]: packet from unknown router,
127.0.0.1
Questions:
1. Why do I get this message, and what can I do to eliminate the
kernel's puzzlement over this "router"?
2. I tried:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/routed stop
routed -g -d
and got a Segmentation Fault. I can't seem to determine the routed
version, but it has a 5/98 compilation date, so I guess its the one that
came with RH5.1. How can I tell whether this routed is consistent with
my kernel?
3. I added the -d (more debugging option) to the invocation of routed in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/routed, but the system hung there after rebooting. Why?
4. I installed routed-0.10-8.src.rpm, and untarred
netkit-routed-0.10.tar.gz, but can't find routed.c! Where's it at?
Thanks for any clues you can give me!

Im starting at the beginning.
The X Terminal remote boots from the network but I dont know how to setup
Linux
to send the necessary software to the terminal or where to get the software
from that
it needs to send.

Someone is accessing a IMAP server on 205.197.182.100. Check to see if
you are running any processes that are checking a IMAP periodically.
M$-Outlook Express seems to default to checking your mailboxes at a
preset interval.

I have 2 of the "Linksys" stenciled chips in my Linux box here at
the house (later version of the PNIC chip). I believe mine are
the later 82c169 chips, my dmesg reports 82c168 but I think I
checked them before I put them in.
I have several of the PNIC stenciled chips and at least one of
the DEC chips in some of my test machines at my office.

There are 2 versions of the Linksys stenciled chips, one marked
82c168 and one marked 82c169. Info can be found at :
http://www.linksys.com/scripts/dlc.asp - select 10/100 card in
the selection box.
The 8c168 chip seems to have a problem being redetected by Win98
and has a ROM update.

Explain the 1500 Canadian Commando casualties and Dieppe in 1943 then. They had a
much larger presence than you indicate here.

I've tried to compile bind-8 on PPC linux using glibc-2.1.1, egcs-19990629,
and binutils-2.9.4.0.7. The compile stops with some undefined symbols
like __memputs, __memgets etc. I ran nm in my libs directory and
found no library with those symbols. Anybody know what's going on?

You probably know that 127.0.0.1 is the loopback device for your computer.
It is necessary for networking, but it's not a router. Something is
probably wrong with your startup scripts. What type of network connection
are you using? You might not even need to run routed.
Routed 0.10-8 comes with RH 5.1, so you shouldn't need to reinstall it
I'm not familar with the packages you downloaded, but here are some tips:
-To find out where rpm put files, enter "rpm -ql <package name>"
-There might not be a "routed.c" file. Look for and INSTALL, README,
configure in the base directory.
Good luck,
-Zach

Be careful there! The all zero's subnet part is often reserved for "this" subnet and
the all ones for "all" subnets. So with a 2-bit mask (ha) you only can count on two
subnets, not four. Most modern routers and systems can use the "zero" subnet, but
this usually needs to be turned on (default is not to allow it).

Swap over the network can be as fast if not *faster* than swap to the
local disk. Here's how:
1) Use *fast* networking [think: gigE] on a local private segment.
2) Connect the NFS client to the private segment via a dedicated nic.
3) Turn on "jumbo" packets on the private nic. [That one is via a
suggestion from a prior poster in a similar thread]
4) Give the NFS server *lots* of very fast RAM [think: eccs].
Using a configuration like that above, I'd put my money on swapping to
the network any day.

Please re-read what I wrote. Last time I checked, 1943 was after 1941,
and certainly after 1939.
