Linux goes mass-marked. I find that interesting. It will put some
pressure on this group. (Free support, eh...) And open some
possibilitys.

It is supported, but it demand you to be hooked up to a device, switch
or another nic with support for (and set to) full duplex. I guess you
are not.
I guess you are connected to a hub. Is that expecting 10Mbps ?
100Mbps ? Anything ? http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/NWay.html
Any chance of use a _crossover_ tp cable and check with another
machine? Activity on the led(s) on the nic?
The ip-nr of 192.0.1.* (or somthing like that..), is that for sure?
Sure you are not using 192.168.*.* ?
What you also could do is '/usr/sbin/tcpdump -i eth0' to se if there
is trace of other on the network. If it is very silent..
'arp -a'
Soundcard, scsi, ? Maybe turn off 'boot with pnp-os' in bios and set
the irq chosen for the nic to 'legacy isa'.

For what it is worth I have had no problems at all with a linux NIS
server talking to linux, Irix and Tru64-unix.
1) is the portmapper running? rpcinfo -p localhost
(start with /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap)
2) is the portmapper reachable from the other boxes?
rpcinfo -p <host> (check /etc/hosts.{allow,deny})
3) test ypbind on the local machine. test with ypwhich and domainname
4) are the maps there locally? ypcat passwd? try ypmake or do make in /var/yp
5) repeat 3 and 4 on client machines.
What is it exactly that is not working?

Hi, I'm sorry if my english isn't quite good.
I have a linux box working as server, it has red hat 6.0 and i have
installed samba,on the other hand i have w98 box, i think it's work
well, when i copy something from w98 to linux all it's ok but when i try
to copy from linux to w98 i can sit and watch the tv box.
I have read that w98 explorer has some problem about synchronism but I
thought that samba 2.x.x had solved that problem.
I have seen that when I copy from linux to w98 the cpu works 100% all
the time, last day 18Mb took about 30 minutes.
I have compiled the kernel with smbfs and w95 bug activated and i don't
know what more can i do.
Thanks

I am not certain on this, as I have only heard, but not read this. However I am
told that the (local) network will adapt to the slowest card in the system. I.e
a single 10 Mbit card will drag all the others down to 10 Mbit.

Hello,
I have a RH6.0, and I'm just curious what Linux society will recomend to
use
for port forwarding. I've read tonns of manuals and webpages and haven't
come to any conclusion.
Somewhere in this newsgroup a saw a message saying that ipportfw as
available as a module!
How and where I can get it. I've tried another option to use ipchains
with ipmasqadm and it turned out that .... I don't have ipmasqadm! Am I
missing some package?
I do not cosider REDIR program is an option, because it proved to be
unreliable.
I need your advise!
Thanks in advance,

If a similar problem with a "normal" network, my computer is able to
send >800Mbyte/s but only to receive with <2kByte/s. Running W95 it
works strangely fine ... Personally, I blame the driver for my ether net
card (eexpress), but I had no time to figure it out more closely ...

No. You have to specify them. If you're dual-booting the machine with
Win 95, launch a connection and run winipcfg, ask for more details and
write down the 2 DNS adresses.

Subject: Re: 40Sec Delay When FTP gets the USER on MASQ:ed machines
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 12:22:02 +0200
You may see this delay due to the FTP server trying to establish an ident
conection to your machine to "authenticate" you, if your firewall is set up
to discard incoming ident requests. If you choose to reject ident messages
(I think it is called reject in Linux parlance -- I mean: make the firewall
return a "network unreachable"/"host unreachable" message) instead and the
reason for the delay is ident messages, you should see a substantial
speed-up due to this.
I have seen this behaviour previously in SMTP connections through a firewall
that dropped ident requests and the problem disappeared when ident requests
where "rejected".

God! That's a lot of info to take care of....
Thanks anyway, to all.
However it seems like a common problem, it's all over the newsgroup.
Surely someone has "solved it" before...
Well, I only managed to try arp from win95, no luck.
It said no arp entries found, but I didn't bother adding them...
(By the way, it seems that manipulating the routing table on Win95 doesn't
work.
I thought of reseting the routes on the win95 machine just in case...
Or after at least 5 years of WinDOS intensive computing experience I still
cannot enter
a proper DOS command!!! If I do
c:\ route delete 192.168.1.0
it doesn't work!!! Not for me...)
Then because I had done too many things (hard to keep track) on the linux
machine
I thought I should start with a clean installation, which I did...
only to use the "server setup option" in RH -by mistake- which wiped clean
my hdds before
I could even say "No!"
But I'll save the ideas....
I'm going away on holiday in a couple of days, so it will be a while until I
can try the whole thing again...
Thanks anyway...

Subject: Can access some www sites but not all. Why?
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 10:09:42 GMT
Ok, this is the setup: I am connected via modem to a friend's machine. i
run Win98, he runs Red Hat 6.0. He has a direct link to the internet via
a hub (university dorm connection). He has enabled IP-forwarding and I'm
using an IP that's valid for net usage (i.e. he's not using ip
masquerading or anything: his IP is x.x.x.128 and my IP is x.x.x.129).
Apparently everything works fine: I can ping, telnet,irc and browse the
net. But there are some sites that I cannot browse, for instance
www.heat.net and www.sierra.com. While sniffing my packets he found that
I send the request to the web-page, the web-page returns an ack to me
and I send an ack back. Then, when the web-page sends the actual
information for the page, the packets stop at his networkcard and are
never forwarded to my modem! This doesn't happen with all sites: I have
easy access to yahoo, altavista etc. My friend can browse all sites from
his computer (and from the other win98 comp's that are attached to the
hub).
Another piece of information: I _am_ able to telnet to www.heat.net on
port 80, type something and get some information back from the
web-server, but not to use iexplore. I've also tried using Opera so I
guess it's not iexplore's fault.
Does anyone have any idea what can be going on here? Is there som kind
of 'netnanny' built into Redhat6.0 that prevents me from viewing these
sites? ;o)
Hope someone can help me out here.
