I've found a place which sells 3C905B cards for $55. They are X Technologies
at http://www.xtechnologies.com . I have sort-of had business with them.
I won a dual PIII 450 big on ebay from them. I'm expecting it sometime
next week. I think that's what they said. Also, if you're not in a real
big hurry, I'd try http://www.ebay.com . You need to register (free), but
I've seen some very good prices there. If, like me, you're cautious, only
bid for stuff where the seller takes a credit card. I may be missing some
good buys from good people, but I feel safer doing that.
Note - I am NOT affiliated with X Technologies. I can't even recommend them
yet because, as I said, I haven't received my first order. YOU HAVE BEEN
INFORMED!

If your NIC already has 209.x.x.154 as eth0, you can use ifconfig to give it
a second IP address.
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.1
This command assigns a second ip address (192.168.0.1) to the NIC, and then
you just need to make sure your routes/ipchains stuff are set up correctly.
I've got IP masquerading working with one NIC card, so I know it works.
Good luck!

I have dhcpd working on a Time Warner Cable modem, I would like to have
dhcpd run from /etc/inetd.conf, is this possiable? This works fine but
when RR goes down it obviously does not start back up.
Here are my current settings:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to contain the following:
DEVICE="eth0"
IPADDR="0.0.0.0"
NETMASK="0.0.0.0"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
cd /etc
mkdir dhcpc
cp resolv.conf dhcpc
rm -f resolv.conf
ln -s dhcpc/resolv.conf resolv.conf
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
/sbin/dhcpd &
Also here is what my /proc/net looks like:
cd /etc
mkdir dhcpc

Heh. Where I work, somehow we have lots of kick-butt hardware to throw

Anyway, this is not a concern for this particular installation--more
important is removing admin headaches :).
Thanks for the info, all!

Thanks a many! The difference turns out to be that Mandrake 6.0 has the
Unix98 pty's enabled and my old setup did not. Now that I've added (as per
the documentation) /dev/pts to my fstab and added the right mounting
instructions to rc.sysinit, it all works again.
(Now, hopefully DejaNews will scoop this up so that people can find it

This is what smbmount is for. It can be used the same way as mount for NFS
connections. All you need then is a nice file manager like GMC and then you can see
your files on the Windows shares. Here is a sample output of the command.
Go to www.samba.org and read the documentation. Also recommended the LDP files
(http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/ is a good place to start).
$ smbmount
Usage: smbmount service <password> [-p port] [-d debuglevel] [-l log]
Version 2.0.3
-p port connect to the specified port
-d debuglevel set the debuglevel
-l log basename. Basename for log/debug files
-n netbios name. Use this name as my netbios name
-N don't ask for a password
-m max protocol set the max protocol level
-I dest IP use this IP to connect to
-E write messages to stderr instead of stdout
-U username set the network username
-W workgroup set the workgroup name
-c command string execute semicolon separated commands
-t terminal code terminal i/o code {sjis|euc|jis7|jis8|junet|hex}

Hello.
I have the Genius Sound Maker 3dx2. Thanks for the tip about OSS; I've
downloaded them and I'll check them when I boot this system back to Linux.
Yep, lost the sound after installing the NIC but I'm not sure whether it's
'after this, because of this' since I hadn't configured sound beyond
running sndconfig, e.g. I didn't test sound on the cdrom or in X.

You need to look into ip-masqerade. There is a howto. I am not familiar with
Mandrake 6.0 but I would venture to guess that it uses a 2.2.x series kernel
which will require the use of ipchains. Hope this helps.

Subject: HELP! ISP connection not working!
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 00:31:27 GMT
Hello, Linux folks!
Using Caldera OL2.2
I am having a problem making a usable connection to my ISP.
ISP is using WinNT :-(
I have set up kppp to the best of my ability, but here is the observed
behavoir:
The ppp session takes a long time to establish. Sometimes it will not
establish. After it does establish, I can ping the remote server and
it will respond consistantly. But when I try to look at a website
with Netscape, it doesn't work. I suspected DNS problems, but from
what I can tell, DNS is configured OK. resolv.conf has both
nameservers of my ISP in it.
Now, if I try to use Netscape to look at a web page on my Ethernet on
another machine, it works, provided I use the IP address instead of a
name.
If I run nslookup, it responds that it can't find a nameserver at the
ISP nameserver IP addresses in resolv.conf.
Is it possible that TCP packets are not being routed to the ISP. This
might explain why ping works and other stuff doesn't (ping uses ICMP
packets).
So, what should I do?
Also, any recommendations about pppd or kppp settings to make the ISP
connection more likely to go?
Thanks,
Ivan Baggett

I was wondering about this. Since AOL has altered their system to keep MS
out, have any of the Linux AIM clients been adversely affected? (I noticed
the AOL Tik page was coming up empty... I assume because AOL changed their
minds about open source?)
The other thing I've been wondering is: What is it about AIM and (even
moreso) ICQ that makes them such a big deal? What exactly do they offer
over the open standards of IRC or talk? Why are people speaking of
establishing "open standards for instant messaging", without ever
mentioning the open standards that already exist? Is there really a
qualitative difference between AIM- or ICQ-style chatting and IRC or talk?
And if so, is it really inherent in the protocols, or is it merely that
the client implementations are better?
I don't know, I'm asking. :-)

If you're looking to set up a little home network, D-Link does a nice
little kit (DE-906) which comes with 2 PCI cards, a wee hub and cables
for around $60-$70. The card is the DE-528CT I think.

Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 22:26:11 -0700
FWIW, I'm running RedHat 6.0 + updates for i686.
I have only a few network services enabled (identd, ssh, telnet, ftp) and am
using tcp_wrappers to deny access to all but local hosts, except for identd
which is accessible to all.
I find that connections (ftp/telnet/ssh) from this box to others, local and
non-local, take on the order of a minute to come up with a login prompt.
Connections to this machine from other local machines take a similar, long time
to establish.
Connections seemed to be established much faster before I started invoking
tcp_wrappers. I have used tcp_wrappers successfully before; this is a new
install on a new box.
Is this enough info for someone to suggest where I should start looking?
Thanks,
Kyle
