Hi everyone,
I have documented myself on how to connect under Linux.
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to do it right (though I
really tried hard).
Here are the basic information about my connection and at the bottom
you'll find my /etc/ppp/options, /etc/ppp/chatfile/, and the
/var/log/messages while I tried to connect with pppd.
I would appreciate any help, hints, etc.
Thank you!

When you do a "su" you get root status, but some enviroment variables are
lost like the path. And then 'dip -t ' won't work, even if it's in the
right dir. Go to the correct directory and try './dip -t' that should work.

Excuse me if this is a no-brainer, or non-network related, but I can't seem
to get dip going. Here's my situation:
I'm telneted into my SMB server, and have a null modem cable between the SMB
server and my firewall. I know the serial ports work on both the SMB server
and the firewall, because I connected my Win95 machine directly to them.
I can indeed successfully telnet into the SMB server. Once telneted in as a
normal user, I su to root, but can't get dip going. Even if I go to the
directory where dip is located and try to execute it, I get:
bash# dip -t command not found.
Why doesn't this work?

Subject: Frame Error Woes
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 12:41:38 -0500
I have recently installed an NE2000 ISA bus clone in an old Packard Bell 486
running RH6.0. I have got the network working properly, but I am seeing
slow transfers and frame errors from this machine's interface. Read the
Ethernet How-to's and searched everywhere I know to, but not much info on
fixing framing errors.
I am using a LinkSys Etherfast 10/100 5 port workgroup switch (model
EZXS55W) and the card having problems is a Trendware TE-16XP Plus.
Dump from ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:66:D3:FF
inet addr:192.168.1.14 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:26508 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300
I have tried transfers from my linux firewall box (PCI card at 100mb) and my
laptop (3com PCMICA) - both yield same results. Iptraf and netwatch provide
no insight. The only thing I have found is the NE clones running 802.2 vs
802.3 but I am not sure if this is this issue and do not know how to see
what frame type I am using or h2 change. Any point in the right direction
would be appreciated. Thx in advance.

Which Linux do you use, and which MS windows version?
How is your network configured?
I've experienced it with Windows NT to Linux 5.0, but Windows NT 5 can
connect with telnet almost instantly using telnet.

It seems to me that your linux box is trying to do a reverse DNS on your
MS box, and not finding it. If you are using Redhat, you need to edit the
file /etc/hosts and put in the information for your MS box. Here is my
/etc/hosts file as an example...
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.1 arainna
192.168.1.2 shanin
192.168.0.5 tara
I hope that this helps...

What does this mean? It looks like maybe the packets are corrupted in
some way, says egp: [version 8] insted of icmp. Currently the server is
linux 2.2.11, the old 2.2.10 kernel was tested with the same results.
Pinging suddenly stopped friday, before all was ok. This was noticed
when netsaint could not ping anything and when it pinged the print
server, the print server crashed.

This particular modem is a bit different than anything else you're going
to find.... In an early approach to overcoming the serial port speed
limit of 115,200 bps, Microcom built a modem that could be plugged in to
the parallel (printer) port. Unfortunately, they only provided windows
drivers for this mode. Fortunately, they did also include a serial
connection on the modem. Make sure this is the one you're using and you
should have no trouble at all.
Good luck,
Pat

Hi, I'm running slackware and kernel 2.2.7 and I've compiled NFS server
as a loadable module. Question: I assume I still need to run
rpc.mountd and rpc.portmap, right? DO I need a new verision of these
programs? I tried loading nfsd into the kernel (using modprobe of course)
and killing rpc.nfsd, but nfs no longer worked. Do I need to do something
to turn nfs in the kernel on?
Thanks.

I use a Realtek 8139 (I haven't seen a driver difference between the 8139 and

I do this, I see the detection of the module at bootup:

IRQ 12, 00:e0:7d:74:08:2d.A
Once this is done, it is configured using with /etc/conf.modules with the
following line:
alias eth0 rtl8139
This should work for you, and I hope that it helps.

Here's my setup. I have a cable modem too. Linux box is running Proxy ( I
therefore need only one IP address). One network card in Linux box connects
to cable modem.
Second NIC goes to one of the ports on the hub. All other PCs at home
connect to the hub also and use the proxy. Therfore, I can access the
Internet through all PCs with a single IP address. Furthermore, they are
all networked and can share my printers and files.
For your internal network, you can use DHCP or static addresses. Since they
connect to the Internet via a proxy server, use any addresses you want.

On a LAN with only 10's of hosts connected, broadcasts + one
Master Browser is good enough. We're about to update our Samba server
so it acts as a WINS server, but it seems like MS' WINS is a bit
buggy, at least when it comes with replication with other WINS
servers. Can't wait till Samba can also server as Domain Controler
reliably.

Er... How safe can your LAN be once you've allowed NetBios
through?
If a company has different locations, instead of opening their
firewall that way, they could either use an LMHOSTS files with the
servers on other sites to which users need to connect, or have a
private LLs to connect those sites instead of having data go through
the Net, in which case they can open up their router/firewall so as to
let WINS servers synchronize through those private LLs.
The former is obviously a much cheaper solution. Besides, servers
don't change that much, so sending an updated LMHOSTS file isn't that
big a deal, IMHO.

Hello Mark,
the effect you are talking about is very strange. I would think it is a hardware
problem. I had some awful effect on my machine too. I searched a long time
before I descovered that the problems were caused by the ventilation of the CPU.
Perhaps your cooling mechanism has problems. I had a working ventilaror but the
persons who delivered my machine had forgotten to use a chemical liquid between
the CPU and the cooler.
Hope that I could help.
