The command is more or less right, but where did the 213 come from?
You need something like "24" in there - it specifies the number of bits
in the netmask
e.g. 24 is equivalent to a netmask of 255.255.255.0
If you were specific about the range you need to block, someone would
tell you what mask
to use.

check out the final section of the SMB.CONF file in /etc
play around with the yes's and no's until you get a satisfactory connection.
on my system:
set linux user:pass
set samba user:pass as smbadduser linuxname:ntname
when prompted for the password use you windows password.
the documentation is pretty standard and works.
finally check messages in /var for extra information

Well, I fixed the problem by reinstalling Linux. I got impatient, and for
some reason (maybe the fact that none of my cards are PNP), I have no
/etc/isapnp.conf file, and ifconfig would only show LO.
Now here's the interesting thing I found. While frantically flipping
through my network configuraiton, I noticed that my default route was
192.168.1.154 when my NIC wasn't working.
When I reinstalled and set up the NIC agian, the default route came up as
192.168.1.254 and everything's fine, but I still have no sound.
I also looked into the parameters of each card. As I mentioned, there are
no PNP devices enabled. The sound card is on IRQ 5 base address of 0x550,
and the NIC is on IRQ10 base address of 0x240
Thanks for the help, I just figured I'd see what anyone thought about my
findings.
73 and Thanks

nice one.
done this.
connected 1 ultra sparc, 1 linux, 1 mac, 1 nt 5 ( win2000), and 1 win98
modem in here)
grab an internet gateway software, such as Wingate from the web. Install it
on the win98 machine.
set the software to act as a proxy server to the other machines.
tell the others to get their information from the proxy, set dial on demand
etc..
now all machines even the host win98 machine will use the proxy data first.
if the proxy does not hold the data then the gateway software will connect
to your isp and update its cache.
all machines can get email etc..

Subject: Gigabyte GA-6BXE networking problems
I started out with a Tyan AT-100 MoBo, Linux pre-2.2.11-ac3, EExpress
16 card with everything working fine
Installed the new Gigabyte board (latest BIOS fixes 2.7), changed the
ES1868 sound card for a SB64 PCI. After setting up I could get no
response from my other Linux box (Cyrix 233/3c509b) or ISDN router, a
ping just clammed up.
I next tried a 3c509 (IRQ 9 io=0x300 on EE16 and 509b), this time, my
Cyrix box and the router were responding as seen on tcpdump -i eth0 on
the Cyrix, at first nothing showed up on the P-III 450, then suddenly a
string of "ARP who-has" appeared and continued OK, though no replies
were being seen.
I have gone over the BIOS setup several times and there is no IRQ
conflict, though it smells like it, I've tried auto and manual, setting
IRQ 9 as legacy ISA.
02:11:05.425117 arp who-has 192.168.10.2 tell g3vbv.ampr.org
02:11:05.434756 arp reply 192.168.10.2 is-at 8:0:39:3:14:50

02:11:06.427502 arp reply 192.168.10.2 is-at 8:0:39:3:14:50
Seen immediately on the Cyrix, later shows up on P-III 450 (the box
with the problem), except there is no arp reply.
lsdev shows the following..........

Any help appreciated, even to say that this board works with ethernet
cards.
BTW, still the same after upgrading to 2.2.12-pre3. The 3c509 shows up
as above with two entries one for 3c509 and one for eth0, so does the
working machine, while the EE16 just shows up as eexpress io=0300 irq=9.
Also diagnostics for both cards indicate they are OK.

Subject: Re: IP MASQ/default gateway
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 11:30:27 GMT
Ken,
I know this is going to sound crazy, but I have seen this work in the past.
Simply reverse eth0/eth1, i.e. Make eth1 physically connect to the cable
modem and eth0 connect to your local LAN. I say this because you seem to be
using DHCP to obtain an IP address/gateway for both interfaces and the
binding order ( eth0 is brought up first, then eth1 ) is dictating who gets
the default route. If I understood your post correctly.
If the above does not work, I would consider configuring the internal
interface statically instead of using DHCP. I also have ADSL and my external
interface gets its address/gateway using DHCP. Plus, my default route is set
to the .1 address of the network address assigned by my ISP. My internal
interface is configured as static, but I also run dhcpd so that my Win9x
clients can get their addess/gateway info. My internal DHCP scope points my
clients desktops default route to be the internal "static" IP address of my
Linux box.
If all else fails, you could simply put the "route add" command in the
/etc/rc.local file which will be executed at startup. i.e. After the network
is brought up. Thus, overriding DHCP. <groan>
Hope one of these suggestions works...

Hi, does anyone know how to set-up V.34 modem under Linux?
Under Window95:
Modem manufacture: Digitan (Rockwell RSS chip)
Model: V.34 Voice W DP Plug & Play
IRQ: 3
I/O address: 02F8-02FF
UART: 16550
PC model: HP Pavilion 7125
Under Linux:
/dev/ttyS1: uart:unknown, IRQ:3, I/O:02F8
/dev/modem a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS1
NO conflict with other I/O addresses or IRQs
I reset type of uart for /dev/ttyS1 to 16550 or 16550A using setserial,
but it didn't help.
After I launched minicom -s, and init string is the one provided by
modem manufacture.
Relaunched minicom, it stuck there and no "OK" is shown. Therefore I
cannot do
anything, any idea? Thanks!

I must admit, I have never heard of this. In fact, I must agree with RedHat
on this one, this seems impossible. I would suspect Compaq's BIOS could be
the culprit on this one, not the Linux driver for the EEPro. I have
successfully setup many Linux boxes using the EEPro 100+ cards. Just not on
a Compaq.
Another possibility is Intel is manufacturing a custom NIC just for
Compaq's. This is quite common and I actually found this out on some Dell
servers that I installed for a customer (NT not Linux). When I went to
Intel's WEB site (to get the latest driver) and entered the serial number of
the NIC card, it came back and said I must use the driver supplied by Dell.
<groan> Fortunately, the Intel driver supplied by Dell worked flawlessly.
Good luck on this one!! In fact, I would be interested in how you fix this
problem.

First be sure that your ISP DNS IP's are also in your WinBox. Your
Winbox NIC tcp/ip should have
ip set - <its own-ip>
Gateway <yourlinux ip>
WINS enabled and pointing at linuxbox and the
DNS host set to your winbox name and then pointed at the two DNS ip's
given you by your ISP.
Ping from network is erratic, so try tracert from DOS window on the
winbox. tracert www.yahoo.com is a good one.
your ipchains can be as simple as this(and I recommend this, tweak 'em
AFTER everything is working :) )
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
insmod ip_masq_ftp
Those work well if placed at the top of /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

For a very good (in color) Step-by-Step HOWTO on making your own
ethernet cross-over cable try this site
http://makeitsimple.com/how-to/dyi_crossover.htm
have fun. One hint when you have the individual wires all aligned
properly (and flattened out side by side) carefully lay them, while
still holding in place, on a flat surface. Take a sharp knife and
slice the wires so that they are all exactly equal in length. 90% of
failed homemades are from one or more wires being slightly shorter and
not making contact when the pins are squeezed down on them. You don't
need the expensive cabling crimpers, use regular pliers and press
firmly, don't crush the damn connector :) then take a small bladed
screwdriver and press firmly each metal tab to insure proper seating.
Oh one other thing DO NOT strip the insulation on the ends of the
wires, the locking tabs do that.

If you just want to restart samba through the command line try
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
or
killall -HUP smbd
You can use 'pico' to cange the /etc/smb.conf' file.

What would be the use of a MSD-style program? - You can't configure the
serial port to another IRQ with it either. If you have nothing connected
to COM2 you could go to switch COM3 to interrupt 3 by BIOS, jumpers or
however it is provided. Use setserial to tell Linux COM3 does use this
IRQ now.

Jack,
I also use Xwin32. Forget all that rsh stuff. In Xwin32 (really X-Util32),
configure your session to do an "XDMCP query" (X Display Manager Control
Protocol) to the IP address of your Linux box. Of coarse, you will need to
have "xdm" running on your Linux box so that the XDMCP query will be
answered. If your Linux box is configured to start X up on boot, then xdm
should be running.
Configuring your Linux box to use rsh is a security risk, especially if your
Linux box is multi-homed. i.e. One interface is connected to the internet.
The same thing can be said for using XDMCP. What I do (to secure XDMCP), is
edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess (RH6.0) and place just the IP addresses of the
machines that are authorized to connect using XDMCP. Plus, I use ipchains to
REJECT all port 6000 requests on the external interface. (just to be sure)

I have the same card, but only with the utp connector.

Had that too. I think it's a bug in the RH install script, because if
you switch to alt+F3 or alt+F4 you'll see that it tried to probe the
card at address 0x0 and not the standard 0x300 that autoprobe does and
subsequently hanging the whole system.

The drivers disk from Intel contains an utility called softset2. Run
that from dos. Change the io and irq setting to values you know won't
conflict with other hardware (eg. io=0x300, irq=10) and disable PnP if
your nic supports it. Then you should have no problems using the card
:)

First install RH with no network support. After installing do cat
/proc/interrupts. Pick an irq that's not in use and change the card to
that value with the above mentioned softset2 util.
