I had a similar problem - turned out that the NIC card on win95 was set to
address 0x210, instead of the "normal" 0x300.

This may not be the answer to your issue, but double-check the IRQ/address.

Subject: integrated ethernet on docking station
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 19:12:58 GMT

I'm a total linux newbie, and was unable to find any information on
this specific topic, even on a webpage devoted to linux on this
particular laptop model.

System: Gateway Solo 2500 (arrives tomorrow)

I opted for the "mini-docking station" option when I ordered; this
advertises "integrated ethernet." Since I wasn't planning on installing
linux at the time I ordered the system, I figured this would be just
fine.

My question is this, for anyone who might know: What is the nature of
this "integrated ethernet?" How does the system interface with it?
(serial, PCMCIA, etc.) And, if anyone knows, is there any way to get
linux to recognize it? am i gonna have to plunk down for a PCMCIA NIC?

thanks in advance to all who reply!

possible that the NIC card on the win32 system may be corrupt; however if
there's something terribly wrong that's very obvious that jumped out at

out the ip_masq module, but 4now just this step is bugging me (the rest

Another note -- I haven't picked a distribution yet. Any suggestions? I
had a good eight months of end-user-type UNIX experience, but that was a
few years back, so I'm somewhat rusty. Also, I've got two weeks to get
things up and running before school starts, and at that time the Win98
partition will be considered "mission critical"; i.e., it's required for
engineering classes.

Anyone please help (no response in samba newsgroup!),

I'm running Samba 2.0.5a on Suse 6.1.  I've had this problem with Samba versions I've
tried before.  From my Win98 machine, I can copy files to my Samba Server at very good
speeds.  But if I then go to open or copy those files back, it runs but very slow.  
Like
if I go to play a MP3 file that is on the Samba box, it is extremely choppy, but will 
play
all the way through.  Or even to just use DOS type command on a large (1mb) text file. 
 My 
log file looks OK.  There is something about requested 10000 open files but only 1014 
available.  If this is important I will send the log file.  Below is my smb.conf.  1 
meg 
file will open in approx. 1 min 30 sec where as I can copy 127 megs to the Samba box 
in 
approx 2 min.

Thanx for any advice

Hi John,

I have noticed that if your using a dual boot system and windows is setup
with certain IRQ's, you sometimes have to specify these same settings to
Linux.  Check the networking and other how-to docs for more specific help.

Mark

Hello,

You may work on the script that runs every so often (from cron for example)
and pings some host on the Net (for example the default gateway for your
Linux box) and if line is down you then can change your default gateway to
ppp vs. eth0.

Then the same script would try to ping your eth interface (which is going to
be back up as soon as DSL problem is resolved) and change default gateway
again.

Good luck!

Hello All!

We are trying to setup a network where the Linux machine (version 6.0 RH) is
the gateway to the Internet.  We have 10 computers with Win 95 or 98 on them
that we wish to be able to access the Linux computer in order to set up the
network.

The network card we have is a 3COM 3c509 card, and as far as I can tell, it
is installed properly onto the Linux machine.  My question is:  What do I do
next?  I am not that familiar with setting up a network, but I figured if I
can setup Linux and get it to work, I must not be doing too badly  :-)

Any ideas / suggestions or links to proper documentation would be greatly
appreciated.  Respond to the group or to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  to get me
directly.  Thanks in advace!

OK, here they are. I logged the outputs while dialed in to my ISP, and with

"A war for master browsing"???  You guy's almost talk a foreign
language to me, but this seems to be on the right track Dmitrij. The
network I'm on is an NT domain, and I either boot linux or NT with the
same ip address and network config.

I only get these wierd messages in a linux console (but not in an X
terminal for some reason).

The NT domain I'm in has about 300 workstations in a tightly
administered environment, so it seems unlikely that any kind of
hacking will be going on, and more likely that something odd and
microsofty may will be going on - dunno what though. I can't resolve
any info on the machine in question with MS tools like nbtstat, are
there any methods I could try from linux?

Nobody has actually said what the message _means_ but thanks for your
thoughts anyway fellas.

The hosts.allow was empty (as was the hosts.deny) since this is a pretty new

card (198.165.xxx.xxx) but when I try to telnet to my inside card 10.x.x.x,
I get the Escape character is ^] and that's as far as it goes.  I don't get
a login: prompt and have to end the session with ^].

Is there any way that the card may not be initialized for inet services?  I
can ping it locally and from the rest of my network.  I can ping out through
it to other servers.  Curious.

Thanks Again,

Hello Olivier,

i haven�t tried it, but setting the guest account to root could do it.
I use to telnet from a Win Client for those purposes.

Subject: majordomo problems
Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 23:19:10 +0200

Hi

I'm installing majordomo on a machine.  Actually this is my second time, i
succesfully created a mailing list at home on my computer (SuSE 6.1).  But
this time i failed on a RedHat.  I finished installing, wrapper says that
everything is OK.  But when i create lists/test and mail the lists command
to majordomo i get 2 mails back.  One from the mailer daemon saying
unknown error 9, and one from majordomo, repeating my command.  Majordomo
does only repeat my command, and acts nothing.  My /etc/aliases file looks
like:

[...]
majordomo: "|/home/mdom/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: bufi
majordomo owner: bufi
[...]

The error message is: 

554 "|/home/mdom/wrapper majordomo"... unknown mailer error 9

I checked with my home config, but the two are the same.  So what do i
need to do if i want majordomo to work on this second machine too?

thanks in advance
Bufi

Hello,

First of all you need to find out who owns those IPs. Run nslookup  a.b.c.d.

Then you could use whois database to find out who is administering this
domain.

Where you can find whois database depends on country of the domain (example:
.com domains whois database could be searched via www.networksolutions.com)

Good luck!

Subject: smbclient setup. HELP!
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 18:44:28 -0500

I have Window$ looking at linux fine. How do I get Linux to look at
Window$?
I am running Red Hat 6.0 and M$ Win95B.
My smb.conf is as follows. I have tried to follow the instructions from
RedHat concerning WINS resolution (they want you to enable it) that not
only did not function but the Winbox wanted to lock up when I did that.

;*******************section global*****************

[global]
domain logons = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
browse list = yes
os level = 34
workgroup = HOME
server string = Samba Server
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = True
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = USER
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
dns proxy = no
;*******************section homes*****************

browseable = True
writable = yes
;*******************section printers*****************
[printers]

guest ok = no
writable = noprintable = yes

What did I goof on?
