I had a similar problem, but without the dual interface or gateway.
It turned out that DNS running on the Linux box was confusing the
clients. I solved the problem by disabling DNS since it was not really
needed. Clients could connect instantly if I used the IP address instead
of the host name.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

While i have been trying to get my own network going, many of you have
asked me just how to get Cnet eathernet card working, so here it is
1. set the EPROM to use irq 9 IO: 300 ( doesn't seem to work on
anything else)
2. Take the card off of P&P set it to jumperless
3. i prefer to compile my kennel to have the other ISA and
NE200/NE1000 part of the kernel instead of modual
4. edit the file of your choice to include ( or command prompt if you
like)
ether=9,300 # ( IRQ, IO)
ifconfig eth0 x.y.z.q
the website for the Cnet cards is:
http://www.cnet.com.tw
and thats what i did to get my card working

The alias line is there in /etc/config, but no line beginning with eth0
shows up in dmesg.

Hi,
I tried had to telnet myself but the telnet client message is
"connection refused". I've checked all entries in hosts.allow and
hosts.deny, enabled the inetd-service for /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd and
couldn't find the problem. I've as well restarted the servers few times
that changes could take effect.
Does anyone know, which configuration-file might be the problem?

I have found the same problem. I have posted this question to some other
groups, so may be you have found it before.
I have an ApexData Multicard Ethernet/modem that works fine on Win3.1 (yes,
win 3.1) but when using it with linux it comes with an error like
eth0: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x0, ISR=0x40, t=11999
eth0: pcnet_reset_8390() did not complete
I can ping to localhost, and ifconfig -a looks perfectly fine. cardmgr
report no problem (2 high frecuency beeps). Everything looks ok.. routing
table, ethernet address,... but no transmission at all
Could anyone tellme how to fix it?

Hi Tetsuo,
Your modem could be a winmodem which can't work with Linux. I hope that
it's not a winmodem. To be sure, please visit

I have define(`confDELIVERY_MODE',`b') set in my .mc file. This means
that delivery is attempted in the background. With my setup, local
mail is delivered immediately. For other mail, if I am online it gets
tossed over to post.d.c.u, otherwise it gets queued automatically due
to DNS lookup failures. In ip-up.local I do a sendmail -q that sends
the mail when the PPP link comes up.
Other values are
define(`confDELIVERY_MODE',`q') - queue always
define(`confDELIVERY_MODE',`d') - deferred delivery
define(`confDELIVERY_MODE',`i') - immediate
The O'Reilly Bat book is excellent and explains all of these things,
although it is not for the faint hearted.
Also checkout www.sendmail.org for the FAQ and tips

iptraf, ipacct, net-acct, argus are some possible solutions. In addition you

Hi,
it depends what kind of server your Win-box is supposed to be.
I guess, you want (why ever) use your Win-computer to access the
Internet with your Linux-box.
Then, you have to set up a proxy-server on the Win-machine, there is a
free proxy called Internet Gate that is very easy to configure but not
very powerful. If you want WWW, News, Mail, FTP via the Win-machine,
Internet Gate works quite satisfying.
But of course, you can use your Win-computer as Web-server as well using
Apache.
Sorry, but I don't know where to download these two programs, have a
look yourself.
