I can only speak for my cable provider (here in Australia)
but whilst they themselves don't support Linux (or even NT
Server!!) there is a great cable community and there are a
number of login clients that people have written for Linux
(and are much better than anything provided by the ISP).
You might want to ask them if they know of any like this.

Subject: 2nd NIC Problem
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 01:42:02 GMT
Does anyone actually have a definitive solution to this 2nd NIC
issue...? I have tried every solution posted to this problem and
STILL no luck getting a second NIC up on a Linux 2.2 kernel.
Here is my situation: I have an ISA smc ultra card configured as eth0
io=300 irq=10 which works fine. I have an additional PCI Intel express
(drivers are already compiled into the 2.2 kernel...) which the OS
refuses to recognize at the hardware level so it obviously won't come
up as eth1, although that is the desired outcome!
Here is are my attempted fixes: I have added these lines in the
/etc/conf.module file:
# /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 smc-ultra
alias eth1 eexpress
options eexpress irq=12
Then rebooted...
.
"A swing and a miss, STRIKE 1!".
I then tried to pass append="ether=0,0,eth1" within my lilo.conf file
in an attempt to have the system continue to probe for a second card
at boot time.
STRIKE 2!
I then decided to just go and get a cheap NE2000 card, program the
eprom to a base address of 220 and the IRQ at 11. I made damn sure
nothing else was using those resources to avoid conflicts as well. I
then updated my /etc/conf.module file as follows:
# /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 smc-ultra
alias eth1 eexpress
options ne io=220 irq=11
oh yeah removed the previous boot argument from my lilo.conf before I
rebooted.
Streeeeeeeerike 3!
There must be something I missing here....can anyone help?

The answer is yes. Depending on the install directory the hosts file is found
in INSTALLDIR\system32\drivers\etc
Hope this helps

On your windows cdrom in x:\tools\mtsutil(substitute your cdrom letter for
x) there are some files, one of which is ptxt_on.inf. Right click on this
file, bringing up the context menu. Select Install. This modifies your

Becker's page is actually where I got the driver from. His compilation
instructions didn't work for me, the paths were all wrong (maybe I'm
using a different distribution?). I used to compilation instructions
for the device module source code directly from the source code
(comments at the end). I then used Becker's instructions : "insmod
rtl8139.o", and it tells me the "device or resource is busy". I think
I am going to read up on compiling stuff into the kernel.
Thanks for the help!
Peace,

Subject: NT apps freezing when simultateously accessed by 95
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 22:30:59 GMT
Hello! Trying to resolve a bit of an anomoly here.
Have Samba setup on latest Red Hat, and am able to access Paradox tables
(via the BDE) with no problem, under Windows 95. We even got 98 working
once password encrption was disabled (primary login is via Novell). The
problem arises when NT (4.0, sp3) comes in --- On its own, it can access
everything fine (Note that we did have to turn off opportunistic locking in
Samba in order for the paradox.net, and the .lck files to be properly
shareable). However, when NT and 95 access the tables simulateously, the
NT app freezes up, and must be forced closed. The 95 app has no problem.
We are assuming the problem therefore lies with NT, and the method by which
it is implementing locking, but am not sure as to what to do next...
Thanks,
Don.

Hi there,
I finally manage to get rid of the SIOCSIFFLAGS error, and brought the
interface up, however, the LAN port is not sending or receiving
anything, kernel reported TX error.
Apparently, the SIOCSIFFLAGS error comes from the PCI probing routine
(rtl8139_probe1) in the driver that it cannot determine the correct IRQ
for the LAN interface, traces from kernel debug showed that it found an
IRQ 0, which from Windowze reported it should be IRQ 9. So I hardcoded
(yes, cause the irq=9 kernel module option is not working, too :-) it
into the driver and recompile the kernel module.
That's it but the Rx, Tx Error problem still needed to be investigated.

tried to start remote X-session, telnet and ftp. Each time connection is
beeing refused by my headless machine. Does anyone know what gives. Is
Caldera 2.2 so "secure" that it wont allow for any incoming connection.

I have a question about the Apache using symbol link, let's say /home/jack

directory with the command :
ln -s /data/home /home
So, the user's home directory will point to the new location
(/data/home/jack).
But I get a error messages
jack@localhost>lynx localhost/~jack
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~jack on this server.
How can I fix the problem, or can I use the symbol link in Apache?
BTW, I using the RH6.0 and Apache-1.3.6-7
