Subject: bootp/diskless computer
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 06:12:10 GMT
Hello,
I am trying to boot a client via bootp,tftp, and nfs. So far
I am just concentrating on bootp.
1) I set up bootpd on my server (laptop/pcmcia NE2000 compatible).
I started it on the command line and debug option, so I can see the
status messages.
2) I build a bootdisk with integrated nfs/bootp support. After booting
the client finds another NE2000/compatible card on 0xd400, and is
issuing bootp reuqests which somehow are not recognized by the server -
at least it does not give any status messages. Tcpdump sees nothing
either. The ethernet card though seems to receive them, because the
accnowlege-lamp flashes each time a bootp broadcast request is sent.
3) I tried to use the etherboot package, but my network card is not
recognized.
I guess the server configuration is having a problem.
a) Is it possibible to use bootp for assigning an IP address to a
client, and without rebooting the kernel via Tftp ?
b) Do I have to make additinal setups (other that bootptab) to the
server, to get the bootp process working ? (deactivate cardmgr for
example, or ifconfig ?). Yeah, I read howto's, yes I commented bootp in
inet.cfg (because I am running it in the forground), yes, I checked
/etc/services - I just don't get it working and I would like to show up
awake in the company after a week I came in with my eyes hardly opened.
Helpful Hints are strongly appreciated; probably a little push in
the right direction is enough...
Thanks Tilman

I've resolved the problem by going to an older version of my tulip
driver. I replaced the version that came with Linux with the newest
non-test version I found (version 0.91). This version would load but
gave me the problems I discussed. I replaced the 0.91 version with a
version I found on my ethernet card disks (version 0.90f). As far as I
can tell, everything seems to work. Replacing the driver was the only
change and things started working.
The answers to previous post are included anyway.

Ping my own card meant pinging 192.168.1.2 ( the card's address).

I didn't get that far. If couldn't ping, there was no point on
proceding to setting up DNS.

I would get a timeout error when I tried to ping from a Win98 box to the
Linux Box. Activity on the hub LED was shown for the Win98 box. No
activity on the hub or card for the Linux box.

I tried this with a graphical administrator that was setup by OpenLinux
2.2 and also by using (ifconfig and route) at the command line.

Hi
I have even more restrictive settings because after the ipchains telnet
and ftp (only for real users) are only available for 3 computers inside
the network. Ctrl-alt-del dosen't work unless you login as root (or
su root). I can't tell if it was that or an UPS shutdown, since my
apcupsd daemon didn't have log facilities (the box was running for
almost 3 years with some kernel and libs changes, and crashed once
when I messed up with a scsi tape and cpio and tar) and I didn't
mind about the old daemon since it has worked fine all these years.
Someone posted a message saying that when the UPS overheats it will
shutdown the box. I must check this possibility.
It's really hot during summer in Portugal... may be...

Normally they are to be put into /etc/resolv.conf
It should look like this:
domain <your domain-name>
nameserver <DNS-IP for your domain-DNS>
nameserver <DNS-IP for your ISP's DNS>
You can also leave out the second line if you don't have a special
intranet DNS or add more nameserver lines, if you want to. All DNS are
tried in the order they are listed.

Subject: Shapecfg and throttling
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 10:22:53 GMT
Is it possible to set up multiple traffic shapers, or in any way use
the shaper facility to apply different throttles to different addresses?
(We'd like to be able to use a Linux box as a router and apply
individual throttles for individual users. This box would almost
certainly be running kernel 2.2.x)
I've come across a patch called rshaper, but I'd prefer to avoid
patching the kernel if possible, since once the system is up and running
it will be maintained by somebody who would admit that he isn't a Linux
expert.
Thanks in advance.

Just go out and buy a null rj45 cable. They are sold by most computer stores with the
wires already crossed, and are the same price as a normal cable. Much cheaper than
a hub, and much less prone to noise, etc than a cut and spiced cable. (If
you are in Vancouver, I know that London Drigs carries them as that is where I

HP sells 'JetDirect' printservers that have an Ethernet and a parallel

Be sure to use the latest Driver for the TULIP-Chips. I also own one
NIC from LinkSys, the chip they use are only "VERY SIMILAR" to the
original DEC Tulip (the chip is a "PNIC" if I remember right).
So, get the latest TULIP-Driver from the web Page (look in the

Hey people, I'm new to Linux. I'm trying to get my network adaptor
installed, but it doesn't work out. I have a 3Com EtherLink III ISA (3C509b)
in ISA-modus. A guy told me to disable PnP for the card, and then use the

solution for my problem in the Networking Howto. I enabled support for my
card in the kernel.
I think the biggest problem is my (cable-)provider uses a dynamic
IP-address, while linuxconf asks me for a static address.
Who can help me? When you explain something, keep in mind I'm new to linux,

Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 11:04:43 GMT
Having a major hassle with my cable provider, it ran great for a week
or so, using dhcpcd and i was happy. Now all of a sudden it doesnt work.
Some details, my cable provider requires a "logon" (using a www page)
this is because they intend to set the service up that you (for
instance) can have no monthly charge, but a traffic fee, or pay extra
for more bandwidht when you need it.)
Windows NT / 98 / 95 and MAC (yech) all works just great.
Linux GETS an ip, gets a resolv conf
search
nameserver 10.0.0.1
nameserver 10.0.0.2
Which seems correct.
Ip is in the 212.181.1[38-41].[2-254] ranges, and i get a default GW
which is always 212.181.x.1 and i get a default Route (which cant be
reverse DNS'ed tho, route 'stalls' for two minutes or so, route -n
works tho)
However, i cant even PING the gateway (which works under the other
operating systems). Also, before i HAVE authenticated on the www page,
i cannot resolve any hostname except login1.telia.com (under linux
however i cant nslookup anything at all)
Does ANYONE have an idea what is goign on? (I'm currently running
slack4, using the dhclient to config)
And all suggestions to traceroute/pign something wont work, because
before i actually HAVE authenticated, i simply can't do that :( ( i can
pin gmy own IP tho *lol*)

Tom,
The only time I have seen delays like you described is when the reverse
lookup (in-addr.arpa) entry is missing from the nameserver the windows box
is referencing, but I would also experience a delay in receiveing the logon
screen. If I understand your post correctly, you are receiving the logon
prompt immediately (when you invoke the XDMCP query) then the delay occurs
when the window manager kicks off (kde or whatever).
The next time you kick off the session, invoke "show messages" and then turn
on some debugging which is part of the show messages window. That might give
you some insight on how to fix the delays you are encountering.
