There is no such thing as Frame Relay modem, may be you are talking about

set your ip on the linux box anywhere from 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.254
with mask 255.255.255.0
set the default gateway on linux box to be 192.168.0.1 - the windows box
I would highly recommend using linux as the dial up box instead

Subject: RH Linux to Windows family networking problem
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 99 03:41:08 GMT
I have a local net at home with no routers, no switches, and no attempts yet
to get the RH Linux box to talk to my ISP.
I am having a problem similar to some of the PING threads I have seen.
All of the machines are connected to the same hub and the appropriate link
lights are lit.
all of the Windows family boxes can ping each other by address with no
problems.
Linux box is using a 3Com 3C509B ISA board with PNP turned off. 3c5x9
utilities finds the board with no problem.

You could also try the password files on the win98 cd. In the /tools/mtsutil
directory you will find two files, one called ptxt_off.inf and one called
ptxt_on.inf. To turn off encrypted passwords in win98 just right click the
ptxt_on.inf and hit install from the menu. Works like a charm.

Thank you very much, Steve!
Now after I 'startx', and I have to type manually 'xdm' to start XDM, then I can
use Xwin32 from my win98 machine without any problem.
But I take a look the '/etc/inittab' file, it DOES include the line:
"x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon"
Why do have to manually type the 'xdm' in the command line?
Thanks again!!!!

You want to read up on the Options directive in the Apache documentation.
By default, Apache disallows some things that are potential security holes,
including following symbolic links.

Have you logged the mac addresses of those cards? If you attempt to
make a card with a mac address that is larger than another as eth0
you will hang or get no detect. Generally the setup diskettes that
com with the card will show that mac#
Also if those drivers are compiled into the kernel, do not assign the
IRQ's and io's the kernel will get them.
Set them up with linuxconf if you are unsure, just make sure the
lower mac# is eth0, then give it am IP amd leave io and IRQ blank.
And dont forget to check the enable box :)

Subject: @Home Cable Modem and RedHat 6.0 -- no packets get past the cable modem at
all!
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 06:20:49 GMT
Well, I just installed RedHat 6 (i had 5.2 working very nicely with ADSL,
but then I moved...) and am completely unable to get it to talk to the
outside world via my new cable modem.
I have 2 NICs -- eth0 is an Intel eepro, and eth1 is a 3com 3c905b. eth0 is
attched to the cable modem, and eth1 is attached to a hub for my internal
network.
Everything works fine under Win98 (ick.) However, when I boot into linux, i
cant get any net connectivity at all. if eth0 is set up to get its IP via
DHCP, it times out at boot and fails to activate. If i set it up with a
static IP (yea, yea, i know TCI is handing out "dynamic IPs" but they are
essentially static) then the interface comes up, and i can ping both is and
eth1, but i cannot ping my gateway or any other external server. No TX/RX
flashing lights on the cable modem either.
Anybody have a clue? I'd guess some sort of routing issue, but even DHCP
fails to find a server to talk to to get its IP, way before any sort of
routing coud begin...
Thanks!!!

It's way easier setting up a cable modem than dial-up.
With the cable modem, your really just on a LAN w/TCP-IP.
So all you do is define an ethernet card.

The permission of linked derectory is full permission,

Maybe, here's the situation :

The FR modem I am talking about is the black box connected to the router with
a 25 pin parallel-like cable.
What I would like to do is to replace the Cisco by a linux box, now how do I
get the box to communicate with the black box is my question.
The ISP - which sells/rents the router - says there is no other means that
