I also can not ping from or to linux boxes using host names. From what i gather,
i think that windows machines can use netbios to resolute names of machines.
Linux does not do this natively. I am trying to find out how to dynamically find
out the host name of a machine using some sort of broadcast. My comps are
allocated ips using dhcp so hosts file and dns are not appropriate as they are
both static.
I really want to know how to do it.
thanks

Thanks for responding.
It boots successfully. It hangs after a period of time while it works
properly, usually between 5-10 minutes, but occasionally up to an hour. The
only change I make to make it work is to switch the network board with an SMC
Ultra, and everything works fine with the SMC Ultra.
I am using linuxconf to change the configuration between the two network
boards, and yes, I do remove the unused board while testing the other one.

Hi
I am new to Linux and I want to setup Linux a file/print server
I got everything working fine but Samba
I follow the instructions from
http://www.sfu.ca/~yzhang/linux/samba/index.html
and I can do smbclient -L linuxserver and see all the share partitions and my
WinNt box. I can see the linux server from WinNT and I can ping by IP address
but not name the same happens in my linux box.
If I try to login to my linux box It ask me for the password but I can not get
in ( Yes I did the enabletextonlypassword thing for NT and rebooted the machine
)
I can not even see the public partitions.
What am I missing ?

I currently have a Linux box at home set up as a network server with
another Linux box and a Win95 PC connected to it. Everything is running
great, telnet, ftp, ping, samba, yadda-yadda. My problem is while I'm
on the server, ppp0 will not (run/connect to net) while my eth0 is
running. So basically I have to shut the network down with
/etc/rc.d/inet.d/network stop command. Then I can get ppp0 to connect
to the net/ISP. After I'm done surfing restart the network and all is
well. Something is conflicting but I don't know what, anyone got any
ideas?

Sure. There should be no problem. One suggestion, though: Connect the
cable modem to the 10Mbps (I'm assuming) 3c503 and your internal network
to the 10/100Mbps 3c905. You can then upgrade your other computer to a
10/100 NIC and have much faster internal network communications. A cable
modem isn't fast enough to exceed 10Mbps, so there's no point in "wasting"
the faster NIC on it.

I have a SupraExpress 56i v.90. It came with a bunch of jumpers on it
which allowed me to take the modem out of PNP mode and "hard wire" it to
use a particular COM port. If you still have the documentation for the
modem, it may tell you how you can change the modem settings. If you
don't have the documentation, go to Diamond's web site (
http://www.diamondmm.com ) and search for modem documentation. It
should be there somewhere. I know I was able to find some documentation
for my modem before but I can't remember the specific URLs. I do
remember that they had support for a wide variety of modems, not just
the 56k ones.
Good luck,
Roy

With NetZero, I dont have control over any aspect of DUN. I just click
on the NetZero icon and it does the rest. I get a dynamic IP address
each time.
As usual, if I bind my Ethernet cards to the private 192.168.x.x
network, how will they access the dynamic IP address bound to the TCP/IP
stack? I'm confused...
Any experiences appreciated.

Hi everyone.
I have got a a small network setup with one Linux machine serving 3
win95 machines. Now one of my machine cannot telnet to the server. I
find it to be strange since all the other machines can. What is even
more strange is that there are certain IP addresses that it accepts and
certain addresses that hangs after the following message:
Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig)
Kernel 2.2.5-15 on an i586
There is no login prompt. The IP address of the calling machine has
been placed in the /etc/hosts file. Can anyone help me on this one?
Thanks alot.

How do I determine this? It's the in.ftpd that comes with Debian 2.2.
I'm using the WinNT ftp client to test this.

Subject: Re: Why are there so many slow modem issues? Solution !!! (for me anyways)
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 16:05:20 GMT
Last night I finally solved my "slow modem" problem:
add a "baud rate" to /etc/ppp/option or as
an additional parameter that kppp passes
to pppd.
For those who aren't familiar with my tilt on the
problem, I'll recap.
I had been using Mandrake 5.3 successfully and upgraded
to Mandrake 6.0 soon after it was available. As with
any release there were a few bugs. By getting the
update RPMS and downgrading pppd to version 2.3.5
I was able to do everything I had done with Mandrake 5.3.
Unfortunately, a subtle "slow connection" issue crept into
the picture. Instead of the familiar 3-4 kbyte/sec
transfer rate, my 33.6K modem was only chugging along at
a slow 1 kbyte/sec.
After following several fruitless suggestion about IRQ's,
MRU's, etc, I was about ready to give up.
Last night I went back to me pre-kppp ppp scripts that I
had used with Redhat 5.1, and to my surprise, they worked!
After some tracking, I was able to narrow it down to one
parameter: "baud rate".
pppd expects a "baud rate" parameter. Since kppp wasn't
passing it by default, ppp fixed itself to a slow
transfer rate, even though the serial port had
been set to a higher speed (38400, 11520, etc.)
Hope this helps with your issues.
PS. Even thou I downgraded to pppd 2.3.5-2, this is still
an issue with pppd 2.3.7. But I would term this as a
kppp bug. I downgraded to 2.3.5 so that I could connect
to a CHAP authenticated site. 2.3.7 was only allowing
me to connect to a scripted ISP site.

Just a neophytes thoughts, BUT<G>
I know you can mount a share with a line in the users .basrc, so the
initial problem is easy, the mounting of a share when a user logs in
(or a machine).
What I lack the skills to do is write a script that will then ping
that machine (and each other machine that is logged on and has mounted
a share) on regular intervals and if it fails to return, then run a
script to unmount that share.
Not sure if this is possible but I really do not see where it wouldn't
be.

I would guess that what is needed is something like Sysgate or Wingate
to handle those ips for the clients. I am assuming that the NetZero
is on the WinBox, and the Winbox will be your internet connection for
the network?

Hi All,
Has anyone connected two Linux boxes together with PPP on RedHat 6.0?
Although I have managed to configure the server to accept dialin access
from a Windows 95 box and also configured another Linux machine to dial
on demand to our ISP, I am having trouble getting the two Linux boxes to
talk to each other.
I have set up a separate configuration file on the server to use a
different set of options when the Linux box connects.
I am also running mgetty, the login.config file contains these two
lines:
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd
ppp - - /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.linuxclient
The first line is for the Win95 clients which works OK. The second line,
'ppp' is the one I am using when logging in from the Linux client as
user 'ppp'.
The 'options.linuxclient' file on the server looks like:
-detach
debug
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.255.0
noauth
modem
crtscts
lock
require-pap
refuse-chap
login
:192.168.1.99
Here is the chat script that is executed on the Linux client:
'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO'

...and this is the contents of /var/log/messages on the Linux client
after the Linux client box attempted a login to the Linux server:

As you can see, the initial login starts off OK then the server starts
sending PPP packets after the client sends the password. It appears the
client is still hung up in the chat script.
I would be grateful to receive any ideas on what might be wrong.
