Subject: Changing my NIC IRQ number
Date: Sat, 7 Aug 1999 12:16:56 +0100
Hi,
I have an NE2000 NIC in my pc, Linux detected it fine when i installed it
(Linux), the problem is it is set to IRQ 3. Now i checked in my wind*ws
setup and this IRQ is in use by my COM2 port. Therefore when in linux i
cannot access my modem, its says input/output error. I am asuming this is
because both devices are using the same IRQ. What i need to do is change the
IRQ of the NIC to 9, which is what it is set as on the card itself, and also
the setting in wind*ws. So how do i do this in Linux? I see when the kernel
is booting it sets the IRQ to 3, can anyone help me as to how i change it to
9?
Many thanks!

I'm just playing with INN, right out of the box of Redhat 5.1.
Forget about the 'old' Cnews with a separate nntp daemon: INN does it
all for you.
Unfortunately the documentation is not always correct for a linux setup,
and sometimes outdated.
basic files you have to set-up:
/etc/news/inn.conf : info about your news server
/etc/news/hosts.nntp and nnrp.access: access rights
/var/lib/news/newsgroups and active: the newsgroups you carry
start /etc/rc.d/rc.news as root, and you have your news server running.
You may have a hard time configuring if an existing nntp daemon, or old
cnews files are in your way.
good luck,
Johan

It is probably software configurable, so you may change I/O and IRQ with a
diagnostic utility program (DOS).

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I'm posting my weird experiences with PPP to see if anyone else has had
similar experiences that might be able to lend a hand. First of all I
should say that my ppp connection from linux works (and I run RH6.0,
kernel 2.2.5-15), only it does two weird things.
Firstly the tool usernet (version 1.0.9-2) does not work properly for
users other than root. It does everything exactly the same as for root
except for turning the light green when finished to show that the
connection is up. If however I user the usernet tool as root or start
the connection with /usr/sbin/usernetctl ppp0 up, then the light will go
to green when the link comes up. Has anyone seen this kind of weird
behaviour before?
My second problem has to do with the /var/log/messages file, which gives
me
Aug 7 13:07:49 rd kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the
University of California

This looks all OK, but immediately after this I get

Aug 7 13:11:22 rd modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:1
Aug 7 13:11:22 rd modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:2
.... sequentially all the way through to ....
Aug 7 13:11:25 rd modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:49
This seems to be a kernel configuration option, as I only got this
behaviour after I compiled my own kernel to replace the standard install
kernel, but I can't see what it is. I should state again that the
connection is up and (appears) to work fine, but it would still be nice
to know what is going on and remove this minor annoyance. I have
already tried copying ppp.o to ppp0.o and having the entry "alias ppp0
ppp" in my /etc/conf.modules file, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

Russell Mora.

Looks like the Ethernet card is not starting up properly. I'm not familiar
with the SuSE distro, but the "SIOCADDRT" is an error message I have seen
when the Ethernet card is not loading properly.
After booting , have you been able to ping the local host (127.0.0.1 ) ? My
guess would be no....
What message are you seeing for the card at boot up ?

I have a small LAN at home and have been using Sygate to allow all my
machines to connect through the one cable modem. I am trying to install
Linux on another machine and would also like to connect to net through
Sygate with it. I have Mandrake installed and can ping from and to the Linux
box and the host running sygate, but when I run netscape it justs chokes,
cant find anything. I have tryed setting the Linux machine up manually and
pointing it at the host and also setting it up for DHCP as Sygate is
supposed to act as a DHCP server but still no joy. Has any one had any
experience with Sygate and Linux?

I use WinGate, but from the Linux box it's the same setup. You have to load
Netscape and get into the Preferences configuration (good luck!). In the
Advanced section there is setup for Manual Proxy configuration. Select that
and then view the setup. Put the LAN IP of your SyGate machine in as the
host address for all the protocols you have proxies setup for under SyGate.
Use the port number you assigned for HTTP on your SyGate box (usually 80)
for all protocols (or at least HTTP, FTP, and Secure). SOCKS is usually
1080, but I'd leave that IP blank just to get thing working. It sounds like
a Netscape setup problem, not a Linux problem. I saw the same thing when I
first ran Netscape.
Good luck!

- is there a gateway ?
- can you ping anyone ?
- can you do a "nslookup" on any hosts ?
- do you have a valid /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf

Subject: Dell computers - IRQ problems with kernel 2.2.x
Date: Sat, 07 Aug 1999 13:06:53 +0000
Hi all,
I've been having rather serious problems with several Dell computers
and what appear to be IRQ problems. All 3 computers hang after some
variable amount of time (usually within 1-3 days) with the same error:
kernel: eth0: Too much work in interrupt, status e481.
Temporarily disabling functions (7b7e)
After this, the computers freeze and need to be manually restarted.
All 3 computers functioned fine under kernel 2.0 and the problems only
appeared after upgrading.
In one computer, 2.2 seemed to work fine and the problem only appeared
after a scsi card was added to the system.
Details of the systems:
System 1: Dual PII 300; Scsi hard disks (no ide); 3c905 ethernet card
Currently running 2.2.10
System 2: Dual PII 300; IDE hard disks (no scsi); 3c905 ethernet card
Currently running 2.2.10
System 3: Single PII 450; IDE hard disk; 1 Scsi adapter with cd-writer
attached; 3c905b ethernet card.
Currently running 2.2.10-ac12 (needed to detect scsi
card)
Any help would be appreciated

Date: Sat, 07 Aug 1999 10:51:57 -0400
I am curious as to whether or not any one has set up Network Services
behind
a firewall for use by outside sources.
Basically, the concept that I want to do is run my Web Server on a more
powerful
machine than what my Gateway/Firewall is. Is there a way to redirect
these services
to machines inside my firewall?
My Firewall right is set up to masquarade my 192.168.x.x nodes out,
however, as
stated above, one of those nodes has a lot of horse-power that I want to
use for
my FTP/Web Services and possible others.
Any thoughts, software, or IPFWADM configurations I should be aware of?
Notes: The gateway is running 2.0.36. I have a lot already setup
there, so, replacing
my box with the more powerful beast is not an option, it could be, but,
time limits me
from really doing that.
Thanks for any help,

I've configured Samba on my Linux NAT box so that I can use it to share
resources with Win95 boxes running behind it.
It seems to be working, because I can see the Linux box on Network
Neighbourhood. I've configured it with a [public] section in the smb.conf to
give it a public directory to allow Win95 boxes to attach drives off of it.
But everytime I try to access anything off of the Linux box, I get a
password prompt. I don't know what that password would be, I've tried the
root password, I'm tried my own user password from Windows, and my own user
password from Linux, as well as the smbuser user password (currently left

You probably have a 'left over' nsslib somewhere in /lib, /usr/lib or
/usr/local/lib.
Fastest (without thinking) solution:
Save all data you need from that machine.
Format drive.
Reinstall RedHat (the problem you are describing doesn't origin in RH)

Apache in the RH install is something like /usr/bin/httpd, its homedir is
usually /home/http (or similar).
Just get the apache source do a 'make' and 'make install' and you'll find=
it
under /usr/local/apache.
Then of course, you /etc/rc.d/init.s/httpd is obsolete (or simply wrong).
