I=B4m running a SuSE 6.1 with the 2.2.9 Kernel.
I installed ncpfs.
So now I want to mount the Novellserver with the versionnumber 2.11.
If I try to mount with ncpmount I get no error but in the mount

Subject: I need some help with IPMAQ
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 21:26:33 GMT
Ballantain is a one disk linux based router/internet gateway
http://www.linuxsupportline.com/~router/
It is very easy to configure with it's menus, but you can get to a
command line if you need it.
I has diald, dhcp, and ipchains.
I've just got it up and running on an old 486.
It connects to my ISP. From the gateway I can ping sites by name, so
DNS is working.
The problem I'm having is with my client machines. Two of them are
Win98, one is Win95, One will be a LInux box.
I can ping both to the gateway from the clients, and from the clients
to the gateway, so I know that TCP/IP is working.
I cannot ping out beyond the gateway from any client machine.
I've tried both static IPs and DHCP.
When I use DHCP I can see Ballantain assign IP addresses, which I can
then ping from any other machine on the net.
I'm sure this is just a stupid little problem with my Windoze client
setup, but I cannot figure it out!
Any bright ideas?
cc: to email is appreciated.

Hi,
I`ve been loosing several days to stop unwanted users to Telnet to my
machine.
Once I know their names, which file do I need to change to STOP them.
I`ve tried to create the .rhosts file in the /etc, because I know that this
works on "True 64" (Digital Unix), but it doesn`t work in RH5.2.
I`ve tried to change also the files in /etc/security, but it doesn`t work
to.
In advance, Thanks.

Subject: chat-where download latest version?
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 21:03:18 GMT
(Warning: I'm a Linux newbie.) My man page says I have version 1.17
however I'm having a problem getting diald to run and I think chat is
the culprit. I have the book "Linux Network Toolkit" that says to use
version 1.9 of chat. I tried running chat by itself passing the script
on the command line. The syslog shows where chat processes my script
which is:
==================
MODEM_INIT="ATZ"
...
message "Initializing Modem"
chat TIMEOUT 5 ""$MODEM_INIT TIMEOUT 45 OK""
if [$? != 0] then
message "Failed to initialize modem"
exit 1
fi
===============
The syslog shows "Initializing modem" then a line:
expect(MODEM_INIT="ATZ")
After which the message "Failed to initialize modem" appears.
It seems chat is waiting for this string to come from the modem instead
of sending the string to the modem.
Is this script fixable or do I need a more current release of chat?
Where can a current version of chat be downloaded?
Thanks,
Rick

I don't think your network is overloaded, too. With IPX, each frame type
must have it's own, unique network number. According to the syslog lines,
EtherII and 802.2 have the same network number. Are your IPX interfaces
configured manually or automatically? In the latter case, this means your
novell server is probably badly misconfigured, otherwise it's your linux
box. I do not recommend using more than one frame type on your linux box,
due to a bug in the IPX code (see my posting in the "Samba causing
broadcast storms" thread)
good luck!

I had this message one time when I had mistakenly added a route to my gateway,
and I was the gateway! So, it was trying to get the Ethernet address of

So, post the output of "netstat -rn" (display the route table) and give some

Date: 23 Jul 1999 22:03:13 GMT
Hi everybody.
I need help.
In the past couple days, I've setup a little LAN with
two computers. One is a 486DX on RedHat Linux 5.2. The other
is a Pentium Pro on Win98. The NIC's are 3Com's 3C509b.
Everything appeared to be working fine initially. The
two computer pings each other fine. I can access the webservers
on the two machines. FTP's working. Telnet, too. Running X
programs on Win98 off Linux is working fine, too. However,
I am experiencing a little difficulty.
When I ftp a file from the windows machine to the Linux
box, the file went through with expected speed. However, when
I "download" from Linux using FTP, the speed is so slow (128byte/s).
And it somtimes eventually causes a timeout.
The 486 Linux box is a server class installation. I also
installed the pop3 daemon.
Anybody experienced simillar situation? Any help is
appreciated.
Thanks everybody.

Hi.
Does the tulip.c probe at io ports 0x6200 or greater for PCI network
cards?
I have a PCI NIC using the Macronix 98715 PMAC Adapter, reported at
io port 0x6200 from "cat /proc/pci". I, however, have been very
unsuccessful at getting the driver for this card installed using the
"modprobe" program. Just to be sure, I have also tried installing
the ne.0, ne2k-pci.o, and de4x5.0 modules as well, none of which has
detected the network card, yet. I have turned off PnP OS in the BIOS
as well. The card is a generic Plug and Play 10/100 Mbps Faster
Ethernet Adapter.
Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can block specific computers and networks by placing them in the
/etc/hosts.deny file. Spoofing techniques can be used to get around
this. If somebody's gaining access to your system, though, it means
you've got a security leak of some sort, and if you don't plug that leak,
somebody else may exploit it (or the same person from another system or
network) in the future. I recommend finding and plugging the leak.

The only machine I have that has two NICs is an ASUS SP3g and one can
set the IRQ for each PCI slot in the setup (Award BIOS). Worked like
a champ.

I've got a disk full of mp3s that I mount via NFS

rates, which should be plenty for 128kbit mp3 streaming.
But, when I play an mp3 every so often it skips. Is there
anything I can do to tune NFS performance? I'm using the
user level NFS daemon, since I can't get the kernel daemon
to work for some reason. Is there some special tools I
need to use knfsd other than building it into the kernel?

Hello all,
I'm using RedHat6.0, Netscape Communicator 4.6 and I want to use Squid
and Junkbuster. My problem is that I can't seem to use localhost as a
proxy. I set up the proxy information as required, but Netscape can't
connect to it. Junkuster gives me this error when it starts up, then
dies:
/usr/sbin/junkbuster: can't bind 127.0.0.1:8000: Cannot assign
requested address
There may be another junkbuster or some other proxy running on port 8000
If I try Squid, I get this error:

I can't telnet to localhost either. It just sits there ("trying
