I have just upgradeed to redhat linux 6.0 and also installed a rtl8139
ethernet apaptor. My problem is that even though this card is
supported, its kernal module does not show up in linux config. I have
found the file rtl8139.o in the directory /lib/.../module/net. If
anyone knows how to fix this please help.
Thanks,

Ummm, you _do_ have ppp support compiled into the kernel, don't you?
This is a funny one, because your box will do everything up to
connecting with the peer, but then fail upon ppp negotiation.
You _must_ have a kernel compiled with networking support, as well as
any of the network protocols you may want to use, such as ppp, slip
&etc.

But I *am* using KPPP. By the way, I don't know if this is useful
information, but if I open minicom with a configuration set other than the
default, the online indicator reads Offline, but when I try to dialout I get
the "your already online ya idiot!" message so something seems to be wrong

hello all.
I just set up debian 2.1 today to share provide internetaccess to to my
other computer on a home network. this box has two network cards, an
Intel EtherExpressPro and a Linksys that uses the tulip driver.
the intel card runs the cable modem { eth1 } and the linksys card runs
on the local network { eth0 }
I got the internet access up and modified /etc/init.d/network to start
the second card On boot, i get the message, eth0: Broadcast: unknown

Subject: Writing program to inspect the header of IP packet
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 11:43:29 +0800
Hi,
I need to write a program to inspect the headers of the IP packets.
I believe SOCK_RAW in the winsock can be used for the
purpose. I have tried using a TCP and UDP client with SOCK_STREAM
and SOCK_DGRAM sockets in order to connect to the server
whose socket is created using TCP_RAW with IPPROTO_TCP and
IPPROTO_UDP respectively. But the fails to connect to the server.
These clients used have been tested to operate well with their respective
servers with SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_UDP sockets.
I think there is some problem in my setup for the SOCK_RAW server as
I made use of the same procedure used in the case of TCP and UDP.
Can somebody advice me what is the exact way to set up the connection
when SOCK_RAW is to be used.
Thank you in advance.

I have just upgraded to redhat 6.0 from 5.2 and
also installed a rtl8139 baseed network adaptor.
THe problem I have is the Kernal Module for the
rtl8139 does not show up in the list in linux
conf. I can find the rtl8139.o file in the
/lib/.../modules/net directory but can not see it
in linux conf. If anyone knows how to fix this

Subject: DHCP?
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 00:21:11 -0400
My RH6.0 system is on a network with a DHCP server. Everything seems to
work pretty well (IP and default gateway) gets assigned, but the Linux box
complains if I don't put its hostname and IP in the /etc/hosts file. Well
doesn't this go against the whole idea behind DHCP? I mean, by putting its
IP address in hosts, it forces me to set the DHCP server to always assign
the same IP to my Linux box. In addition, the nameserver doesn't seem to
get assigned correctly to the Linux box via DHCP (it works for the
Win98/2000/NT machines on the LAN).
Ideas? Thanks,
David Ferguson

Subject: Re: RedHat v6.0 & dhcp client ???
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 23:01:37 -0500
I appreciate the responses; but, this is *not* a cablemodem issue.
The Edge v0.7 router sits between this system and the cablemodem. This
router serves as dhcp client to the cablemodem (which works OK) and as
dhcp server for all systems on my internal network. The latter works OK
with all other systems, and works OK with *all* other bootup
instantiations for this test box. In fact, if I configure the RH6
system for hard-coded IP address, then all is OK -- I have InterNet
access. So, this is an issue on principle -- I insist on getting this
dhcp stuff to behave as expected ;)
Either there is something misconfigured with RedHat v6.0, or dhcp at
Linux v2.2.5, itself, is misconfigured. Unfortunately, the HOWTO's
still mostly apply to dhcp of several years ago. This latest stuff,
from the dhcp-client perspective, appears to be rather poorly
documented.
Or, what am I missing?

Subject: RH 6.0 and RH SECURE WEB SERVER 2.0
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 05:19:35 GMT
Hi,
I have a problem with RH 6.0 and RH SECURE WEB SERVER 2.0.
I am setting up a secure web server on a machine hosting multiple name
based virtual domains. I had this configuration with no ssl working
with no problems. I installed all the updates for RH 6.0 according to
the information on RH's page about the secure web server. I then
proceeded to install the secure web server off the cd. It didn't
succeed because it found newer versions of the programs and libraries it
is dependant on. So I proceeded to install it with rpm from the command
line. The installation was successful. When I restarted apache, it
failed and gave me an error message (forgive me please for not writing
it down) something to the effect that "mod_ssl.c was an invalid
module". So I uninstalled it to restore it to its original
configuration before I installed the secure web server. I had to
reinstall apache from the RH 6.0 cd. Once I did this, it ran the
default configuration with no problem. I configured my name based
virtual domains, and when I restarted apache, it failed with no error
message. I checked it's status by typing "httpd status -S" and it told
me this "httpd dead but subsys locked" I removed the name based virtual
domains and it started successfully. Now when I try to browse the web
with netscape, it does not connect to any websites internal or abroad.
I can not ping this machine, nor can I telnet into it. Its networking
system is completely screwed. I could really use some insight into this
from someone who know's what this is all about.
Thanks,
Dwayne Croteau

If you're talking about the Gnome PPP Dialer applet, you need to
create two scripts ( /etc/ppp/ppp-on and /etc/ppp/ppp-off ) that
contain the commands to bring the interface up and down. I use
these:
/etc/ppp/ppp-on:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ifup ppp0
exit 0
/etc/ppp/ppp-off:
#!/bin
/sbin/ifdown ppp0
exit 0

people seem to have and I'll post my (crappy) solution to it soon) and I

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the help, guys! As I just told someone else, you guys are
great... MUCH better than Red Hat's tech support (I haven't heard back from
them in over a week and a half about this very problem!). Compiling knfs
(after turning on the development option... thanks Ken) did the trick
beautifully! If ya ask me, Red Hat should be kicking in a couple bucks to
all the kind souls on the newsgroups who take time from their busy schedules
to help out fellow linux-ites.
Thanks again!
