Hi!
I'm desperately looking for service gatewaying EXISTING mailing list and
newsgroup - smtp/pop3 <=> NNTP (probably in scheduled times like every 10
minutes).
Is there something I'm looking for?

Hello everyone,
I'm relatively new to Linux and I was hoping to setup a small network
between two PCs, a Win98 machine and my Linux box. I've gone through the
net-3 howto, ethernet how-to, and the samba-howto... but do I really need
a domain name since this is just a local lan? or gateway's, and dns's,
etc etc... I guess what I'm asking is what are the bare bone steps to
setting up a small lan with file sharing capabilities? I've already done
the following
(1) get network cards detected properly by both PC's...
(2) I can ping the Linux box and I can ping the win98 box
but I'm kinda lost from here... do I need to setup the routing table for
just simple networking? is there any more configuration that needs to be
done before I setup samba? agh... soo much to learn...
Ken.

You should build your kernel with PCI NE2K support (module or not). It
is a generic driver for cheap PCI ethernet adapters.

In using kppp you don't need to do any setup external to kppp (such as
linuxconf). In fact, trying to setup ppp via different methods may
likely cause troubles. Kppp does all needed definitions dynamically on
the fly and reverts back when connection closed. To use kppp:
1. /etc/ppp/options file must exist and must be empty. Especially the
lock entry in options file causes pppd to die, because kppp locks the
device before pppd, so pppd cannot lock it and dies.
2. pppd and kppp executables must be suid-root for a security-wise
quick-and-dirty solution. As root, issue this command :"chmod u+s
/usr/sbin/pppd /usr/bin/kppp"
For security concerns and remedy read kppp handbook (the help button on
kppp main dial window)
3. I use this scheme:
i) I normally work in Gnome
ii) Log in as non-root user: Gnome-Panel (right click) --> Add Applet
--> Network --> Modem Lights
iii) Setup Modem-Lights by right clicking on the applet on panel :
- Connect command : kppp
- Disconnect command : killall pppd
- Lock file : /var/lock/LCK..ttyS2
- Device : ppp0
iv) Run kppp and do your setup. To conveniently use a non-Gnome app
(kppp) in Gnome environment, use must disable "Dock into -KDE- panel
upon connection", and enable "Minimize on connection". See kppp help on
these.

Here is my /etc/fstab entries regarding floppy usage:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 user,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/windkt vfat user,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto,conv=auto 0 0
It is better if you also add your non-root userid to "floppy" group. If
it is a home-use workstation, you can also add it to "root" group, and
give some priviledges to you userid. (All from linuxconf --> user
accounts)
To mount devices from panel, use a "DriveMount" applet for each drive
you want to control. Then setup its properties.
You can also mount/unmount them via an icon on desktop if you put a
symlink (pointing to -say- /dev/floppy) on desktop.

That's true, but you can use VNC *as* an X server.
You telnet to the Unix box and start up the Unix VNC server. It is
both a VNC server and an X server, and it does nothing with the Unix
machine's local display (it's a "virtual" X server that you can only
interact with via VNC). Then you run the VNC *client* on any other
machine -- Windows, Mac, Unix, PalmOS, WindowsCE. You then have
remote access to an X display.
True, it's not by exactly the same mechanism you would use if you were
running a local X server, and you get some extra capabilities (like
support for collaberation). I've tried it both ways (run X server on
PC, run VNC client on PC), and I get more work done when I'm running VNC.

Not sure if it will run in high-color/high-res on a Trident 9000 but it
will work. I also wouldn't know for sure if a DLink Pnp (I assume the 200
or 220 type) is supported. I had one once, if I'm correct it's NE2000
compatible.
> - Is redhat a good choice for server setup
If you are new yes.... RedHat is pretty easy and usually works OK right
out-of-the-box. Some tweaking is required to make it safe and stable
though. Check out the net-HOWTO and the XWindows docs for more info on the
hardware.

I've got the same problem using Debian 2.1 and linux_2.2.10. Both g77 and
pgf77-compiled small test programs give segmentation faults on NFS mounted
filesystems on AIX 4.3 and Solaris 2.5.1 machines. Things execute correctly
on the local hard disk. Interestingly an NFS mounted disk on Solaris 7
works properly!
I really need an answer to this to continue promoting Linux in my company.
If I cannot NFS-mount directories on other machines (as we do all over the
place) the project is down the tubes.

I have several Linux boxes that route IPX and I have several boxes with

So, everything is running fine from the NIC of each side. Now, on the
wanpipe interface I have (Luna):
wp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol

Collisions:0
Interrupt:5 Base address:0x250 Memory:e2000-e3fff
Notice the IPX...same on the other side.
And, here is my router.conf:
luna:~# cat /etc/router.conf
[devices]
wanpipe1 = WAN_PPP, PPP to Houston
[interfaces]
wp0 = wanpipe1, , WANPIPE, T-1 to Houston
[wanpipe1]
IOPort = 0x250

MTU = 1500
UDPPORT = 9000
AUTHENTICATOR = NO
TTL = 0x7F
[wp0]
MULTICAST = NO
PAP = NO
CHAP = NO
IPX = YES
NETWORK = 0xACED6698
Can anyone see anything I am missing ? I wonder because it looks wrong
from ppipemon when I query IPX information I get:
luna:~# ppipemon x 192.168.50.2
Enable the use of IPX: Yes
Include network number in Config-Request: No
Network number( 00000000 = request ): 00 00 00 00

Local node number( 000000000000 = request ): 00 00 00 00 00 00

Remote node number: 00 00 00 00 00 00
Include config-complete in Config-Request: No
Routing protocol: Request default( normally RIP/SAP )
Local router name( max. 47 characters ):
How can I enter a local node number ? Then, I could just create a route
manually (or ipxd would start working for this route).
Any response appreciated, but also e-mail.
Thank you,

The first one goes in ip-up (to delete the rule) and the second goes
in ip-down reinstate the rule.
