I have a LinkSys EtherPCI LAN Card II, which was working under NT and
Win95. I am planning to migrate the box to Linux5.2, I am not sure this
card is supported? if yes where can I get the drivers

WvDial is a replacement for chat. It won't help the problem as its

Hi all,
just wondering how you split up the domain name dns files when you subnet.
eg. originally 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 and had two files pz/eagle.au.com
& pz/192.168.1
do i now make these pz/eagle.au.com (keep it the same but update the ip
addresses) & pz/192.168.1 & pz/192.168.2 ???
hope you understand it..
Thank everyone!!

As far as I know it's not that simple. You must have the account you're
logged onto Nt with also on your Linux-Box (eg. if you are logged onto
NT with 'myname', you must have an user 'myname' under linux). Then, you
must login with a password you have configured with smbpasswd (smbpasswd
-a myname)....

Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 14:40:49 GMT
Hello,
I am installing Redhat 6 on my Tecra 780 Laptop. I have a Xircom
Realport 10/100 Ethernet card that I would like to use. Does anyone
know if this card is supported in RedHat 6? In addition to this I am
not sure how to install the PCMCIA Services. Since I do not need the
Network connection for install I do not select that PCMCIA option
during install. I do select the PCMCIA package when selecting packages
to install. Can anyone recommend a fairly basic tutorial/instruction on
installin PCMCIA and a subsequent Ethernet PCMCIA Card? Thanks for any
suggestions.

Subject: PPP Server Problem - Log file snippets attached
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 14:28:08 GMT
I'm attempting to set up a PPP Server to dial into.
I am able to get the modems to connect, but when my Win95 or Win98
clients attempt to send a username and password, they are rejected.
Here is my log file:
07/19 17:15:27 yS1 mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.8-Jul27

conn='33600/ARQ', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/'
Here's what I've done. Following the HOWTO's on the net, my
login.config in the /etc/mgetty+send fax has only one line:
/AutoPPP/ - @ /sbin/pppd +pap login
(Note, I'm using RedHat 6.0 and pppd is in sbin and not /usr/sbin)
Here's what my mgetty.config looks like:
port ttyS1
init-chat "" AT&F&C1&D2
speed 115200
My /etc/inittab has the following line appended to it:
S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -s 115200 -n 2 -D /dev/ttyS1
I've also tried:
S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1 -s 115200 -n 2 -D /dev/ttyS1
(both have the same result)
My /ppp/options looks like this:
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.0.0
proxyarp
lock
crtscts
auth
login
modem
ms-dns (my primary dns)
ms-dns (my secondary dns)
(I've also tried this options file without the 'auth' and 'login'
parameters with no luck).
My goal is to have the login process use the system's password files so
I only have to enter accounts in one place.
A user logs in, they get connected, and they are able to work on their
projects using telnet to the console or they can also browse the web
through their connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ted

Subject: ifconfig - unbinding a IP from a NIC card? RH 5.2
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 15:23:30 GMT
Help!
I accidently bound a workstation IP address to my Red Hat 5.2 server
ethernet card and and now I get the message on the workstation that I
have a IP address conflict.
Here are the commands that I did on on my Red Hat 5.2 Primary Server:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:31 200.200.200.31
/sbin/route add -host 200.200.200.31 dev eth0:31
Please post the commands that will unbind this IP from the server so
that I can reuse this IP for a workstation.
Thank You,
A new web administrator.

You're right. I should have reviewed your original post before replying.
Since the Windows box at home works with the Linux box at work it looks
like the problem is with the home setup rather than the office setup.
There are frame errors showing on the ifconfig output. In the case of
two Linux boxes the likely causes are a mismatch in speed configurations
or capabilities, or a mismatch in the type of handshaking between the
modem and pppd.
One thing to look at is the modem's UART on the home box. A 16450
won't work well if the pppd speed option is greater than 14400-28800 .
While the 16550A is very common there were a few 16550's produced and
these are broken. Check to see if the UART type configured for the
device file matches the UART type the modem is actually using.
Another thing to check for the home box is whether the pppd crtscts
option is present and whether the modem profile includes &K3 .
If these suggestions don't help then pppd debug logs from the home machine
would be useful.

I am assuming they are not blocking multiple IP's per room. Most
don't. If this is a case, drop $50 on a 4port 10BaseT hub with an uplink
port, plug the uplink port into the jack in the wall and the computers
into the other ports. Should work from there. Otherwise, Masquerading is
the only way to go. Good luck.

You need to enable experimental drivers in the kernel config. The
realtek drivers are still in that category for whatever reason. They
should work fine. After you rebuild the kernel, but before doing a make
install, add this line to /etc/lilo.conf, just after the line that has
image = /vmlinuz or image = /boot/vmlinuz, add the line
append = "ether=0,0,eth1"
and then do a make install. This will tell the kernel that two cards
exist and you want to use them both. Good luck.

Yes, I'd agree that it is the kicker. I wish you luck but doubt that
you'll get to use PAP in the same way. No one except a Shiva engineer
knows exactly what SPAP does but after reading this I'd guess that the
passcode, or perhaps just the SecurID code, is probably obscured in
some way by the Windows machine SPAP before sending it over the wire.
It seems doubtful that the security weenies would leave PAP as an option.

Do i have to get a driver or does it comes as default.
