I'd suggest doing a CLEAN recompile of EVERYTHING in the kernel (both the
kernel itself and the modules). Basically what's happened is that the
symbols identifying the module don't match those for the rest of the
modules and/or for the kernel proper, so Linux refuses to use that
module. A clean recompile of everything should fix the problem.

Check out the Networking HOWTO for info on TCP/IP and networking with Linux
at http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/NET-3-HOWTO.html . After you've got the
network working the way you want it, then go to the Samba HOWTO at
http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html .
The Linux documentation Project has many of these things published on the
web at http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/linux.html . Make sure you use a mirror
site near you!

This is how I can get all my mails from the newsgroups. I hope you don't
tell me to disconnect
the modem, and remove all the modem settings for getting my mini-network up.
And I don't want to connect my linux pc to the internet, because this one is
a really slow one, with
only 8MB ram, and 320 MB hard disk.

So when I log in on win98, I fill out next fields to get in the network like
userid : nobody
password (I don't fill out this field)
domain : SHOENUX
I always get this message in win98 :
no domain server was available to validate your password. you may
not be
able to gain access to some remote network resources.
How can I get lost of this message?????
I guess, I have to get rid of this message before I can properly ping????
Really hoping for an answer, I almost screwed up my vacation for setting up
this network.
Thanks already in advance.

most distributions use 'hostname' to set is at boot from a file in /etc
(usually called, strangely, 'hostname'). grep through /etc and /etc/rc.d
to find out how your distro. does it.

I've used redir and ipportfw and got good results.
redir is simple and small. ipportfw is more robust for logging but is
a kernel patch. Each has other advantages and disadvantages. Both
work great with masq'd machines
I think redir is in any Linux archive and info for port forwarding is

Subject: Netgear Ethernet card problem (RH 5.2)
I have found several posts similar to what follows but I've yet to see any
answers.
I just installed a Netgear FA310TX ethernet card in my RedHat 5.2 machine.
When I try to bring the interface up I get the following:
# ifconfig eth0 10.0.2.30
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:3F:3F:3F
inet addr:10.0.2.30 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
Interrupt:255 Base address:0x1400
It looks like it at least got the hardware address. The relevant messages
from a dmesg command are below:
The PCI BIOS has not enabled the device at 0/80! Updating PCI command
0004->0
005.
tulip.c:v0.89K.1 3/16/99 Originally written by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Driver modified by Netgear for FA310TX
Netgear technical support: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
eth0: NETGEAR NGMC169 MAC at 0x1400, 00 a0 cc 3f 3f 3f, IRQ 255.
eth0: Checking for MII transceivers...
eth0: MII transceiver found at MDIO address 1, config 1000 status 782d.
eth0: Advertising 01e1 on PHY 1, previously advertising 01e1.
The first message looks kind of interesting, but I don't know how to fix
it.
I downloaded the latest version of tulip from the Netgear web site and
followed
the instructions for the RedHat 5.2 modular kernel. I do not remember when
I installed RedHat if I answered YES to configure LAN (not dialup) as
specified
in step 2. After putting tulip.o in the proper directory I did:
# modprobe tulip
# depmod -a
and added "alias eth0 tulip" to /etc/conf.modules
I also tried the tulip driver that came with the card and the most recent
one from:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip.html
All versions of the tulip driver seem to do the same thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ray,
I got into the thread late. I think I have the same problem i.e. get
connected then when trying to fetch a URL with Netscape I get
disconnected = hangup, SIGHUP. Things had been working well then this
started happening. I can use the NT machines connected to the linux box
via masquerading but not the linux machine to fetch url's with
netscape. I can ping or ftp on linux but not fetch URL's with
netscape. Again everything used to work fine - this started happening a
week ago. I think the ISP has changed something. How did you correct
your problem? Which permissions did you modify?

That's the trouble with Open Source. No sooner do I think, "Hey, I

If they use CHAP then it's hard to say what's happening without seeing

the only thing that comes to mind is that perhaps the NT was a domain

If they've switched to MSCHAP version 2 without the option of falling

Do you have any Windoze systems on the LAN? There is a browser election

those symptoms. Run tcpdump on the LAN side and try to correlate a packet
with the dial out.

I was trying mechwarrior thru my linux box and ran into something
I am not sure how to do.
the mechwarrior update readme says
======================================================================
To play MechWarrior 3 through a network firewall or proxy server, your
network administrator must configure the proxy server or firewall to
allow DirectX games to pass information through the proxy server or
firewall. Ask your network administrator to configure the firewall to
use the following settings:
* Allow an initial outbound TCP connection on port 47624
* Allow subsequent inbound and outbound connections on TCP and
UDP ports 2300-2400
* Set appropriate permissions for DirectPlay (client)
======================================================================
HOW do I do this with masquerading so I can play over the internet on
my pc ?
thanks for any help
If I get this to working I will have to find these settings for such

Subject: linux home lan setup -- routing problem?
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 17:14:48 GMT
you guys in comp.os.linux.networking have been a great help
in the past, and i really appreciate it. I've got another problem:
I'm setting up a home lan, so that I can install redhat 6 on
my 486 (it doesn't have a cdrom drive). I have the cd mounted
on my other machine, and it's being shared via thttpd. When the RH
install program attempts to connect to my thttp server, it doesn't
get a response (hence installation fails).
The two machines are linked via ethernet nics and a hub. I know that
packets *are* being sent, because both hub lights flash when the 486
sends the http request. Also, I know the server is receiving packets
from the 486, because the 486's ip address shows up in the server's
routing cache (route -C) after the 486 attempts a connection.
I know that the thttp server program is working correctly because I
can connect to it through other machines (via my ppp link). When I
try to ping any ip address (from the server), the hub lights flash,
indicating that it at least knows which interface to send network
traffic out on...
All this leads me to believe that there must be some kind of routing
problem at the server end.
What should my server's routing table contain? I've seen other
messages in this newsgroup that make reference to "gateway"
settings... should I specify a gateway? if so, what value should it
contain on the server? On the 486?
OR
Does anyone know of any "guide to setting up a linux home lan"?
any suggestions would be appreciated. you can send responses to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or simply post a response to this newsgroup

out, would I? But I checked the options file anyway and crtscts had been hashed
out along with both packet size parameters. Probably neutrino damage.

This is surely possible. Ciscos can do anything. ;-)
Try setting a cron job on your home machine that sends one ping packet
out to the network every one minute, and look if you get reliable
access. Then, you can also set up a web page on your home machine. :-)

No, the cable modem doesn't care what the MAC address is. At least the
Motorola CyberSurfer I have doesn't. In fact, TCI@home will make additional
IP addresses (up to 2) for $5/month each.
Plugging the cable modem into a hub should work fine as long as you plug it
into a uplink port on the hub or use a crossover cable. To be able to use
both machines on the cable modem at once, you would have to get an additional
IP address. The other alternative would be to set up a NAT firewall to
share the existing address, but that requires a different hookup and two
NICs in the machine running the firewall.

A hub is probably your best bet, with a second nic on pc a that
you can use to set up your internal lan on a separate network
address. Hubs and nics are cheap these days.
There are other options, such as running your cable modem and
both computers into one hub and using ip aliasing to set up
two network addresses on computer a, one for the cable modem,
and one for the internal lan. See the ip-aliasing howto, or mini
howto. You might also take a look at the ip masquerading howto
to expand your capabilities even further.
Be careful that no packets get routed from your internal lan
to the interface that your cable modem uses, unless you have
ip masquerading properly set up.
