Hi all,
I've had an old P5-166 running RH (recently upgraded to 6.0) setup on my
home network. I've got it setup to dial-on-demand to my ISP via 56k modem
and route and do NAT. Works great.
BellSouth just got done installing fiber in my neighborhood and is offering
ADSL service. Great! Slap a second NIC in the Linux box, setup DHCP client
on it and it becomes the default route. I've heard from others that his has
been done often and works great. So I ordered the service.
The BS installer showed up yesterday to set things up. Turns out things are
a bit different where they have fiber installed. They don't put a "modem"
in the house and you don't do IP over the Ethernet interface they provide.
The ran a cat-5 Ethernet interface from the curb to my basement office.
Then they asked me where my Win98 machine was! Uh.. What? I had them use
my laptop and the installed WinPoET, a PPP-over-Ethernet client package. No
more DHCP! Crap.... This really throws a big wrench in my plans. I can;t
seem to find a PPPoE client for Linux.
So.. two things... First, if your considering switching to ADSL and expect
to use a Linux box, dig deeper. make sure you know what your getting. I
spent weeks digging around Usenet and other resources to make sure I was on
the right track. Nobody *ever* mentioned this. Must be new? Second,
does anyone have any information on PPPoE clients for Linux? Is the
standard even ratified?
TIA,
-Paul
PS: parson the bandwidth waste. ranting seems to make things a bit better

Subject: Kppp cannot find daemon
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 18:03:59 GMT
I've got SuSE linux 6.1 and i'm trying to use the kppp dialer to get on
the net. When i first load up kppp, it tells me that it "cannot find
the pppd-daemon." So I keep going and set everything up, but when i
try to connect, it gives me an error message saying that:
"Kppp can not find:
Please install pppd properly and/or adjust the location of the pppd
executable on the ppp tab of the setup dialog. This will insure that
kppp can find the ppp daemon."
I'm completely new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you need anymore information regarding my system then just email me
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and let me know. Thanks.

Not sure exactly what the question/problem is. I have my Linux (and other
machines) hooked up to my external ADSL modem. The modem "talks" ethernet.
The ADSL line comes into the modem and then the modem plugs into my hub (I
could also just plug it into a NIC on one of my machines). The only thing I
had to do was to setup DHCPD in order to get IP addresses dynamically. If
your ADSL ISP is giving you a static address, you'd use ifconfig to setup IP
address, etc. You might need to set up DNS, too - not sure, since I use
dynamic IP addresses. There's no ADSL specific setup.

3c509b ? Turned off pnp on the nic?
Http://support.3com/com/
ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/3c509/3C509N2.EXE
And set it up to a reasonably value on irq and io. (irq 10 IO 300,
why not.. or other free values) And sobering up whatever the nic
happens to be set to. That is to set right tranceiver (tp i guess)
and duplex (normally half-duplex) in the nic.

Where exactly are you loading the module at startup? If you are using
rc.local it will occur _after_ the network setup.

It's an ne2000 compatible. You may need to use its (DOS) setup program
to give it a fixed io & irq instead of allowing pnp. Then let linux
know the io address. eg, in Redhat 5.0 /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x300,0x320
(well, that's using two of them).

Updating my report.... Removing the D-Link 9-port HUB, and using the BNC =
port
instead of the UTP port, fixes the problem. Now all machines are on a sin=

coax bus. Communications is fine. When a HUB is inserted into the equatio=

where as 8 UTP ports can be tapped into the coax net with the ninth-port =
being
a BNC, Linux has trouble talking to Linux, but talks with WIN98 machine o=
n the
same network. ???? Pretty Weird?
While I have a work around, I think there is a problem here that needs to=
be
addressed. My guess is something like the network card is starting in
full-duplex mode, since it thinks it's on a hub, but since the hub
effectively places it onto a coax thin-net circuit, collisions occur.=20

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As an addendum to my last post :
When I add "Strict locking ON" to the share that contains my data, things
work a very
little better. I still get the sharing violation abort, retry, thing, but
if I go to the workstation
that has the file locked and move program ahead one step it releases that
file and I
can go back to the original workstation and retry & move ahead 1 step
before I get the same error.
This is a drug store with a high volume. If we can't fill prescriptions on
several workstations and be looking up accounts on others etc then we are
effectively
bottlenecked.
ANY suggestions are welcome!!!!!!! Pointers ??? Tips??? Vaugue hints????

If you want to do this with software instead, take a look at
/etc/inittab and comment out the getty running on console. You might
also consider the CTRL-ALT-DELETE entry as well. Then kill -HUP 1.
WARNING: You will not be able to log in on the console anymore (but this
seems to be what you want).

What kind of files are the users accessing? Some MS apps
don't like sharing data files, i.e. having two writing to it
at the same time. If it's a database app their using is the
database engine (on the Linux server) configured correctly?
Just some general questions.
