I've been struggling with NFS on RH 6.0 and it looks like a lot of folks
are having the same problems. Based on some suggestions from this newsgroup
I was able to resolve the nfssvc by turning on kernel support for nfsd.
I used makemenuconfig and selected "Module" under
Filesystems->Network File Systems->NFS Server Support
I read (but did not verify) that it is also necessary to select
Code maturity level options-> Prompt for development...
in order to allow this option to be selected.

I had this problem also and discovered through strace that it was attempting
to open /var/lib/nfs/xtab. I made it work the first time by copy
/etc/exports over to this location. However, I noticed that something during
boot is over-writing this file, so I don't know if that first copy made any
difference. In any case, it's working for me know.

Method 1)
On your remote machine/server, you type 'w', which has an entry for your
login along with your dynamic IP address.
Method 2)
If you are using kppp, you should have it once you ask kppp for details
Method 3)
Look for the last few lines of /var/log/messages in the local machine after
your connection has been established, you can find your dynamic-IP address
in the log.
Hope this helps.

Try the ne2kpci driver (PCI NE2000 clone). don't remember exactly, but
I think that this is the correct driver for that card.

Big question. Recompile the kernel with the routing functions turned
on (read the help as to which ones you will need, don't assume). For
outside internet access, you will need to add masquerading (look at the
howto's for this). If you haven't gotten both NIC's to work, and you
have both drivers compiled in, then add this line right after /vmlinuz
in /etc/lilo.conf
append = "ether=0,0,eth1" for a pci card.
this will probably work for isa cards as well, but there are no
guarantees. The IPMASQ HOWTO has a section on how to do this as well.
Beyond that, you shouldn't have to mess with that much. If you can't see
one network from the other and everything seems to be working, then
investigate routes, make sure you can ping locally, and write back to
this group with a detailed explanation of the problem with errors and
configurations. This actually should be fairly easy as Linux is built
for this. Good luck.

Thanks for the response.
I'm aware of the -h option; I've tried every hostname that I can think of
and haven't gotten anywhere. From what I understand, you're supposed to use
your account name as the hostname. Is that what you're doing?
Who, if you don't mind my asking, is your service provider (Bell Atlantic)?
Some of those other options looked like they might show some promise;
however, I'm not familiar with the format for the arguments. Know anything
about them?
Thanks again for your response.

Yes, auto-IRQ is known to have problems. IIRC, it's actually disabled
by default in the kernel. You have to turn it on and recompile, and
it's not recommended because it can cause weird problems.
> But if I do anything to ttyS3, my system hangs and I have to reboot.
On systems with a PS/2 mouse or keyboard, you're already using IRQ 12.
It can even happen that Linux's /proc/interrupts doesn't show it, even
though it's in use. Try IRQ 9 -- that's usually safe. 5 is another
common choice.
Good luck,

Subject: eth0 and 3Com 3c507 NIC card
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 17:02:45 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here's the skinny:
Have the 3c507 driver compiled into the kernel. On boot, card is
detected correctly at IRQ 10, Mem 0300, etc. With the card's native
state alterred by its DOS configurator app so that ZeroWaitStates are
disabled and Turbo mode is set to Standard, dhcpcd now communicates with
our dhcp server [when it before did not] and, viola, we have a working
network. Sorta. What happens is that nominal net traffic produces no
problems. If, however, I run a TCP/IP app (same results whether
Netscape inside X or ncftp at the command prompt, for example),
approximately 50-60 seconds after starting up and while the app is
sending/retrieving data, this starts:
eth0: Command unit stopped, status xxxx, restarting -OR-
eth0: Rx unit stopped, status xxxx, restarting.
xxxx is replaced by a variety of four-digit numbers: 0000, a000, a040,
1220, 4040, 5020, and 5220, with 4040 being by far the most numerous
entry. These stopped/restarting messages are repeated hundreds of time
(yes, hundreds, as /var/log/messages confirms: the last command was
repeated 696 [or 739[ times). These error messages will actually break
into the console as well as get listed in /var/log/messages.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?
My thanks,
Guy Stalnaker

Red Hat Linux's printtool program makes this easy. I suppose there are

Subject: WinNT <--> LINUX <--> WWW setup?
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 22:05:05 GMT
I've been asked to take an existing WinNT fileserver, which has a bunch
of Win95
boxes networked to it, and connect it all to the internet, along with
supplying standard
services such as webserver, email, ftp, ssh, etc..., through a single
cable modem
connection, at a minimum expense.
So, from my research, I think this is what I need, and how it needs to
be connected.
Shoot me down if I say anything dumb, please, as I am relatively new to
all this.
I'd load a machine with Linux, apache, sendmail, wu-ftpd,
ipchains/ipfwadm, etc...,
with 2 NIC's, one for the cable modem connection, one for the connection
to the
WinNT server. This Linux box would act as the company webserver and
firewall,
and would be the gateway for the WinNT server.
Now regarding the Linux connection to the WinNT fileserver, which heads
up the
existing LAN, I believe that since I am connecting only the 1 WinNT box
to my
Linux server/gateway, that I can just use a null twisted pair (having
the RX & TX
pairs swapped at either end), avoiding the use of a hub, right?
I Think??
So now this is the setup:
Win95_1 <-->|
Win95_2 <-->| <--> WinNT <--> Linux <--> cable modem
Win95_3 <-->|
Win95_x <-->|
I'd then use IP Masquerading from the linux box to assign the internal
address
for the WinNT server. Packet forwarding would have to be enabled. That
should
get internet access to the WinNT server, I think.
>From there, the WinNT server will handle the rest of the internal
network, using
a proxy server and Exchange server to give web & email access to the
rest
of the Win95 boxes ( I HOPE! )
Sendmail would have to be configured to forward email to the WinNT
Exchange
server. As an alternative to using the Exchange server, I would imagine
that I
could have the Win95 boxes use a pop-mail client, and connect to the
imap/pop
server on the Linux box.
So, is anything wrong with my setup or assumptions? Am I missing
anything?
Do I need to run a DNS, or anything else also?
Many thanks for any input!

what is it with people people from israel? recently, i've been getting
VERY aggresive spam from that country.
nobody's going to ship you free equiptment overseas. especially a fast
ethernet card. and if you weren't such a clueless dickhead, you would've
told us what type of RAM you need. what good would SIMMS do you if your
machine needs DIMs?
anyhow, to give you useful advice:
1- get a job delivering newspapers or selling lemonade.
2- go to pricewatch.com or some other web based mail order site.
you'd be surprised at how cheap ethernet cards are. in fact, if you
skipped 2 dinners, you'd probably be able to buy a good 100/10 ethernet
card from pricewatch, which has EXCELLENT prices.
for 6 dinners, you could probably buy 128 MB or RAM.
