I ran into the same problem. My fix was to add the line 'df -k' to my=20
crontab and have it run every 15 minutes. This forces samba to refresh=20
the connection, and it keeps it alive. A kludge, I know, but I've kept=20
connections up for weeks with this.

I'm trying to install network support for my Mandrake 6.0 distribution of
Linux. My card is a EtherFast 10/100 from LinkSys. It uses the tulip
driver.
I have edited the /etc/conf.modules file and added the line: alias eth0
tulip
Then I issued the command: /sbin/modprobe eth0
I recieved a message telling me: "Device or resource busy"
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct this?

Subject: ARP requesting on IP address
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 21:53:40 -0700
I posted this to redhat, but no one there has any clue? Can anyone point
me towards a howto or faq that mentions this error ARP: arp is
requesting on ip address
Is this because I have not setup reverse DNS?, or setup DNS incorrectly?
I have several books, none of the indexes show this message (nor arp man
pages)
named takes a long time to execute, but shows no error msg.
nslookup returns default server, localhost 127.0.0.1 which I believe is
as it should be.
I'm trying to read lots of the howto-s etc, at the same time, so if
someone could point me to the one that directly addresses this error
msg, it would be appreciated.
btw. dmesg shows that it keeps on adding this message as long as I have
the machine running. Can i turn it off somehow?

To be precise, ip_masq_ftp does not handle the masquerading of ftp
ports either, the rest of the kernel does. That modules handles the
*transparent* masquerading (tweaking PORT commands) of *outbound* ftp
connections, i.e. from internal clients to external servers. You're
free not to use it and ftp will work ok so long as you use PASV mode.

No, it was... I mean, yours was the correct answer, although for a
different question... he wanted to know how to make an internal ftp
server visible to users outside his masquerading firewall, not the
other way round (hence my comment). See below:

Please understand that I'm simply trying to help the original poster
by setting this straight, not just wasting my time nitpicking here and
there.

What type of locking are you using? Opportunistic or low level? Oplocks
can cause real bugaboos for people weened on Novell who expect read/write
low-level locking.

Why do you need both IPs to be assigned by DHCP? Is it possible to alias an
interface already running DHCP and add a static IP? If not, then you'll have
to add a second NIC and set some routes to your internal network versus
external network.

I'm not sure why find won't suit you. find / -name somefile will go
through the entire directory for you, looking for a given filename (it
does a lot more, too - see the man page). If you're looking for content
*in* a file, grep will serve your purposes. If it's on your system,
locate is handy, too.

Try "du -s /somedirectory" to get a total, in 1K blocks, of the size of

I don't know what sap is, but I assume you simply want all connections
to the external addresses redirected to the internal ones, so I think
the following will do:
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 193.155.155.10 <sap-port> -R
192.168.0.10 <sap-port>
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 193.155.155.11 <sap-port> -R
192.168.0.11 <sap-port>
These commands setup a port forwarding from the firewall/router
visible address to the internal servers on a single port that must be
specified. Please note that using ipmasqadm fwmark-forwarding may
allow you to get a cleaner solution, but I haven't got enough time to
try it out.
Hope this helps.

Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 21:48:52 -0700
Sure, I'd be glad to help out. That's what Linux is all about.
IP masquerade may be what you need if you want your small network to
communicate with your ISP via one modem (or modems). We've been very
happy with it in our home system. It's more flexible than our previous
Windows proxy server had. One example is that my son was unable to get
Quake to work with the proxy server, but Quake works fine through the
router with IP masq.
The best instructions I've found for setting up a router and IP
masquerade are in the first two HOWTOs listed below. They explain things
much better than I could.
The Linux Networking Overview HOWTO (especially Section 8)
NET-3-HOWTO (section 5.8 gets into routing)
IPCHAINS-HOWTO may also be helpful when you get into setting up the
firewall to let IP masquerade get through.
FYI, I'm using an old 486 100mhz as the router. Don't know if it'll make
a difference, but I used the server class setup. It installs more of the
things you may need in a router/server, I suspect, but workstation
installation may work for you too.
Good luck and enjoy, Sam! Would love to hear how it works out for you.
Let me know if I can help out more; don't hesitate.
Skip the rest of this message if you know all about HOWTOs. In case you
haven't already, I highly recommend spending some time browsing through
the HOWTOs and MiniHOWTOs. It'll pay off. There's a lot of info in them.
RHL 6.0 seems to have come with the latest versions on the CDROM. The
RHL installation manaual tells where to find them. You may even have
installed them on your hard drive during installation. Sometimes it's a
good idea to check for the latest versions at
http://metalab.unc.edu/linux/docs/. Check out both HOWTO and LDP (Linux
Documentation Project). Here's another great site. I'm a newbee and
these sites have helped a great deal, probably more than the three books
I've bought inaddition to the RedHat manuals that came with 5.2 and 6.0.

I'm no Apache expert but I do know that there is a PAM module (if
you're not using PAM, you're SOL) that does use authentication against
an NT server. If it works ok (I never tested it for real), then I
guess it's just a matter of properly configuring Apache.
Hope this helps.

You're on the right track, but I think the problem may be that you
took the cable modem off the nic that was originally set up with your
cable provider. Or did you? Anyway, that nic's hardware address is
registered with the provider, and that's the nic you have to use for
the cable company. Use the other nic for your local lan.

Jim,
This is not a "winmodem" is it? Aztech was marketting many winmodems. Some
of these were patched up with DOS configuration files which would "fake them
out" in dos by sending them configuration info which was similar to what they
would receive during the Windows P&P routines. These modems probably will
NOT work correctly in Linux.
When you do the echo ATDT routine, is that in DOS or in Linux?
My suggestion would be to ensure that you have the correct modem
initialization string for the modem. If you have ever used the modem in
Windows, you could check and see what init string it uses in 'doz, write it
down, and then use it in Linux PPP setup. I have sent you the screen shots of
the network configuration dialog boxes where you would insert the modem string
and other config info.
Good luck,

Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 01:52:20 -0400
I've had problems with TCP connections stalling and never recovering on
Red Hat 6.0 with the 2.2.5-22 kernel.
Executing "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack" appears to fix the
problem.

Cris,
I've experienced no difference between Netscape 4.07, 4.08 and
4.51. I usually have to click on a few different newsgroups before
Netscape "finds" the news server. I'll try inputting the IP address.
Thanks for the tip.
Allen

Maybe the driver is just locked up by some other piece of hardware. It
is therefore strongly recommended to compile NIC drivers as modules.
Add the following lines to /etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 3x59x
alias eth1 <name of SMB driver>
This will work fine if the SMC hardware is ok.

Thanks for the effort. That was covered in my original post: require-pap
is an option for servers, not clients. It does not have the intended
effect, it makes it impossible to connect _ever_.

Subject: 3Com 10/100BaseT + 56Kbps Modem PCMCIA Card Problems
Date: 20 Jul 1999 06:03:57 GMT
Hi All,
I have a new laptop with a 3Com 3CCFEM556B-AT pcmcia card.
Linux (2.2.5-22 & 2.2.10). I se that the notes on the
3c574_cs module (which is what the card uses) has a note
saying that the driver is buggy.
I am able to "ping -f 10.10.10.1" and both systems handle
the throughput and ifconfig reports no errors.
However either a ftp to the laptop or a nfs mount of a laptop
exported directory will hang (at the data transfer, not the
initial control/handshaking) with the laptop occasionally reporting
a Ethernet TX error. Of course ftp & nfs mount hang, and if I HUP
the ethernet line I have to down/up the laptop ethernet otherwise
no services work including ping.
Anyone offer some working suggestions. Or when will a more robust
driver be available ?
Thanks, Grahame

Steve,
I think the problem may be in your printcap file. Do you have this
line?
:mx#0:
This sets the maximum size of the file you want to print. The above
line defines an unlimited file size. Please post your printcap file.
