Hi,
The learning curve can be steep for Linux. You might check with a local
university and see if someone in their Computer Engineering or Computer
Science departments would be willing to do this as a student project. Or you
could possibly get someone to volunteer the build. It is not all that bad
but does require some experience.
If you decide to roll your own then my suggestion would be to get some good
reference material. There is a lot on-line with the LDP Linux Document
Project http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/
to get you started.
Several distribution specific books available, O'Rielly & Associates publish
several good books, the one you choose will depend on the distribution
selected.
Naturally the NG can be used to answer some of your questions but you cannot
always depend on this. Your alternative would be to use Deja.com with a
power search on a specific NG topic then muck your way through it all.
Welcome to Linuxland!

I don't see any reference to that card in any of the linux documentation.
The Linux ATM project does list Efficient Network cards, but they
are eisa ATM cards, not the DSL PCI model you are refering to.
I've personally got a Efficient Networks Bridge that works just fine with
Linux as it is an external bridge :) (5621 I believe).

I've just installed Redhat's Linux v6.0 and am pulling my hair out in
clumps, trying to get the system to recognise my BT Speedway ISDN PC card.
The modem is connected in Windows98 via an ISDN CAPI port; my US Robotics
modem is connected via Comm2. As the US Robotics modem is not supported
under Linux, the ISDN connection is my only hope....
Can anyone point a new Linux user to a plain and simple helpfile which will
make more sense of the installation procedure than the manual does, please?
Thanks for any help offered,

I had a similar problem. You have not told us what Windoze version u
are using. I suppose 95 or 98? In that case you probably do not have
WINS service installed anywhere (or have you configured SAMBA to do
that?). In that case, try putting the name and IP address of the linux
machine in the "hosts" file under the windows directory. Here is a
sample of my file:
===== c:\windows\hosts
# Copyright (c) 1994 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Chicago
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.3 charles.homenet
192.168.0.4 router.homenet
----
router is my linux machine. Homenet is the name of the domain and
workgroup.
After changing the hosts file (you may not have one yet, there is a
hosts.sam (as in SAMple) file in the windows directory).
The first time the Windows machine may not "see" your linux box, so you
can try to find it using the right mouse button on the Network
Neighborhood and using the "Find computer..." option. Type the name of
the box (linux?) and it will most likely find it.
You will need to define the shares you want Windows to see in the
/etc/smb.conf file. Usually only your home directory is displayed.
Also check out
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/TrinityOS.wri for an
excellent description of many related issues (chapter 33 is about
configuring SAMBA).
It is important to configure in smb.conf the workgroup IDENTICAL to the
one you configured in Windows networking. You also have to define your
windows user-id inside your linux box with the same password. You will
need to have a smbpasswd file created from the passwd file. All the
details are in the above mentioned doc.
Hope this helps!
Cheers
Charles

Unless they are both high-end routers, such as Cisco 2600 and above, load
balancing won't work. there can only be one route to a destination, although
you can load balance across multiple links from the same router.
IP is not good at load balancoing, ipx is much more flexible.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have searched for an answer to the problem for a while now, and I am
at my wits end. Could someone please help?
I am running Slackware Linux (latest version) on my personal PC at
work. Everyone at work connects to a SCO UNIX box (our main system runs
on top of SCO) via telnet over a TCP/IP connection. Most users use
Netmanage, but being that I do a lit of development, I wish to use
Linux.
For some reason, all enrties in the SCO /etc/ttytype for the
pseudo-terminals are set to wyse-60. This presents a problem because my
terminal type is linux (the default linux console). I have tried
everything imaginable but nothing has worked.
I decided that I could add a 'linux' entry in the SCO's termcap and
terminfos, but then I woukd need to be able to somehow ensure that I
always get the same pseudo-tty (so I can modify just one entry in
ttytype so everyone else can still use wy60).
My question is, is there some way you can telnet to a unix box and
always get the same pseudo-tty? If I can figure this out, my problems
are solved. Any ideas? Also, if there is some easier way, please let
me know. Or at least direct me on a path! THANKS A LOT!

this is interesting as the MAC address is built into the card. It is a
unique ID seperate from the IP address. Make sure you have your address
names correct. If you do ifconfig, you see something like this.
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:04:6D:15:54
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:28836 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:1351 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xf880
Where HWaddr is the MAC address of the card. This can't (shouldn't is
probably a better word, but most cards put this in firmware) be
overwritten.
And how do you know that the MAC address is being overwritten? Put up
some ifconfig stuff and then do a 'dmesg | grep eth0' or just a 'dmesg'
and put up the eth0 startup stuff. Also, triple check you have the right
driver defined in the kernel. If the driver is off, certain info may get
obtained wrong by a mistaken driver resulting in the wrong information
being displayed. Good luck.

Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 22:20:33 GMT
Hi,
I've been wrestling with a strange networking
problem. Here's what happens:
Accessing anything from my machine (R.H. 6.0, 3com
Etherlink XL PCI), works without a hitch.
However, if my machine is not engaged in any
network activity for around 30 minutes, then it
becomes inaccessible from anywhere else. The
instant I ping some other machine from my machine,
my machine becomes accessible again. But if I
don't do anything network related for around 30
minutes, my machine becomes inaccessible again.
It has nothing to do with power management, and
I've made sure that my ethernet module is not
being unloaded. Also, ifconfig shows the
interface up and active.
I've scoured the net, and have found a few people
with similar symptoms, but I've never seen a
solution posted.
Thanks,
Taher

It sounds like you're using the driver which came with the kernel. Which should
be right. To activate the net card, add this line (or make sure its there) to
your /etc/conf.modules.
alias eth0 rtl8139.o
And make sure this line is in /lib/modules/2.2.5/modules.dep
/lib/modules/2.2.5/net/rtl8139.o:
Reboot, and that should bring up eth0. I've never used ifconfig before, but
what i told you should get you working. If not, then a reltek 8139a is not the
same as a realtek8139. You'll have to look for the driver. Check out the
ethernet howto at http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP for possible locations of your
driver, the disk taht came with your netcard (you do have the disks right), or
call realtek adn see if they can point you in the right direction.
hope that helps

Deleting this will do nothing.... when you reboot linux (I have X on

When you delete gdm.pid and then try to run X you have message like that:

The point is, you need communications software to handle a modem.
"echo" and "cat" are not communications programs. It sounds to me like
all you want to do is dial the phone from your keyboard, e.g. to make a
voice call without touching the phone's keypad.
Here's one way. Install C-Kermit 7.0:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html
which includes a new scripting interface that lets you execute Kermit
scripts just as if they were shell scripts. Now here is your script:
---(cut here)---
#!/user/local/bin/wermit +
#
if < \v(argc) 2 exit 1 Usage: \%0 phonenumber
set line /dev/modem ; Device the modem is attached to
if fail exit 1 ; Can't assign device
set modem type usr ; Or whatever kind it is
set speed 1200 ; Doesn't really matter for a voice call
pdial {\%*} ; Dial the number but don't wait for carrier
while true {
getok {Finished? }
if ok exit
}
---(cut here)---
Let's call the script "vdial" (for "voice dial"). Then, just like a
shell script, do:
chmod +x vdial
and then (assuming you have it somewhere in your PATH) you can run it
like this:
vdial 212 555-1212
If it can't assign the device, you'll get a meaningful error message,
like "device is in use by so-and-so".
Note: after the number is dialed, the script keeps the device open
until you say "OK" to the "Finished?" prompt. If it simply exited
immediately, this would close the device (by normal UNIX rules), which
might hang up the phone.

Subject: Masquerading using IP Aliasing with only one NIC?
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 15:34:38 -0400
Is it possible to use IP aliasing to give a NIC on a Linux box two IP
addresses and have this one NIC/box function as a gateway with IP
Masquerading?
For example, connect a local net with non-routeable addresses
(192.168.1.x) to the net via a Linux box with a single NIC. The NIC
would have two address, the ISP assigned address and, using IP aliasing,
an IP address on the local net.
A friend has asked me to help him set up a Linux box for this purpose
and I'd told him he needed two NICs. He asked me if he could save some
money using IP aliasing and I didn't have an answer for him.
One more wrinkle, I don't know yet if his IP is static or if he'll get
it via DHCP. Assuming the answer to the first question is yes, will a
DHCP address pose any problems?
Thanks in advance,

I have compiled and installed both ssh 2.0.13 and ssh 1.2.27 (for fallback)
with libwrap. I configured ssh2 and sshd2 for fallback compatibility.
Also, sshd(2) is controlled by inetd.
sshd (invoked as sshd->sshd2) accepts connections from ssh1.
sshd drops connections from ssh2, like this:
[kbf@mesa kbf]$ ssh2 mesa
ratbert's password:
Disconnected; protocol error (Protocol error: packet too long: -937278428.).
The numerical value appears to change each time. I have not had much luck
grepping through the sshd2 source yet.
It would be nice if I could get ssh2 to connect to sshd2. :)
Thanks for any advice,
Kyle Ferrio

Thanks for your reply Clifford. I tried adding the init string with
quotes but with no success (not exactly sure if I did it correctly).
As for the logs, as I mentioned I am a complete linux newbie and I
dont know what logs to look for or where said logs live. :)

I may be packaged as a module with the Caldera kernel. On redhat or
debian you just do:
insmod 3c59x

Does anyone have real experience and/or documentation in setting up and
maintaining a Firewall on a Linux box.
1) Which soft is the most appropriate to use
2) How do I have to set my expectations w/ rgds to more professional
machines and software.
3) Can someone recommend a decent shareware solution?
thanks,
luc
