George-
   What network protocols were you using?  Were they all dropping off of
the network, or just IP?  Also, I have read of other people from these
newsgroups having problems with the driver for the NIC that I was using.
 I am using a Compaq NIC that came with the server. the driver that was
loaded was the eepro100 driver.  When I replaced the card and had the
same problem, it was the same type of card.  Also, the only times that I
was able to bring the thing back up onto the network after it dropped
off without restarting the server was to do the following sequence:

ifdown eth0
rmmod eepro100
insmod eepro100
ifup eth0

It worked every time.  I do not know if this tells you or anyone reading
this why it was going down to begin with, or if the eepro100 driver was
the problem, but any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

P.S. -- The server still has not dropped off of the network after two
days now!

I did not know that but i heared that pump "stinks" so i went for the dhcpcd!
When i upgraded to the package i mentioned it worked fine! No need for pump!

You want the glibc version: rc5des-linux-x86-mt-glibc2.tar.gz is the one I
got.

As for where to put it, I created a new user "rc5", and just put it in
/home/rc5.  It doesn't matter, really, where it goes.

Hi

I also have a server (or so it should be) that stops for no reason.
Sometimes it works for hours without any problem and then stops, but
sometimes it takes less than 10 minutes. 

The Linux box is a PIII, with 2 NICs and 2 scsi cards and it should act
as a small file server running RH 6.0

The main thing that stops is NFS. All NFS drives on the Linux box become
unavailable to the clients (SGIs) with no traffic on the LAN. Strangely,
ping responds just right, I can rlogin to the Linux box, but it won't
serve NFS anymore. I've tried, simply, to "exportfs -uva" and reexport
them, but it hangs while unexporting.

On the clients, I've tried to umount and remount but all I get is a
"timed out".

I suspected that the command I have in /etc/cron.d/kmod might be related
to this problem. Every 10 minutes, the system would do "/sbin/rmmod -as"
to unload unused modules from the kernel. At first, removing this from
cron seemed to work, but now I'm still getting timed out from NFS.
>From what someone suggested here, I've tried putting something to keep
the network alive all the time (a top in a remote shell), it seemed to
work on the first night but now i'm not so sure it does.

One thing that I find disturbing is the output from the "free" command:
             total       used       free     shared    buffers    
cached
Mem:        128092     124504       3588      19780      18696     
93412
-/+ buffers/cache:      12396     115696
Swap:       136512          0     136512

With 128Mb RAM and nothing running but the login screen, I think that
less than 4 MB free memory is not enough. It look like it doesn't free
everything.

Being quite new to Linux, that's about all I can tell you. I hope it can
give an idea to somebody.

Subject: Help with dmesg output

I recently installed my Linux box as a firewall using ipchains for my
home network.  Things worked OK for a while, but recently everything
stopped.  Below is the dmesg output.  Notice that the network cards are
recognized, but then they stop.  Any ideas out there?

Thank you very much,

Help!!!

I replaced wu-ftpd with proftpd an deleted al the entries related to
wu-ftpd from my system! but now when i try to start proftpd (standalone
as root) it tries to bind to 0.0.0.0 port 21!! and fails to do that.
system log:

Aug 19 16:01:22 CC3417-A proftpd[1060]: attempted bind to 0.0.0.0, port
21
Aug 19 16:01:22 CC3417-A proftpd[1060]: bind() failed in
inet_create_connection(): Address already in use

Does anybody know what went wrong an how i can bind it to my external
ip? Did i delete to much from my system?

Greeting Robert ;-)

There is already a bootable-cd version of tomsrtbt, get it at:

Looks like there still is something running on port 21, try telnetting
to port 21 and see what it is. 

Check your /etc/inetd.conf for the ftp entry.

Cheers,

Read the lilo HOWTO, I think the info you are looking for is in that.
Possibly an append line is called for, can't quite remember. It's pretty
easy though.

As Thierry says, have a look at the routing. And make sure that you have
forwarding enabled.

I have been  having trouble getting printing to a remote printer working
under Linux.
I have detailed below all my settings and the problems I am having:

Here is the printcap entries for the Printer Server:

The printcap file on the machine im trying to print from is:

# Remote LasterJet IIp
lp|lj|laser:\
 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj:\
 :rm=Printer:\
 :rp=lp7:\
 :lp=/dev/null:\
 :sh:

I made the directory /var/spool/lpd/lj and currently it has chmod 666.

Here is my hosts file for ALL the Linux computers on the network:

# For loopbacking.

128.1.0.20 020   020.lowtech.net
128.1.0.255 Printer   Printer.lowtech.net
# End of hosts.

Here is the hosts.lpd file from the Printer Server:

128.1.0.3 003  003.lowtech.net

I have not finished this yet as I have only been trying to get this one
machine printing before going mad.

This works fine when printing via Samba (all the Win95 comps can print
perfectly) or just standard LPD (the printer server can print files
spooled
from itself).

However when I try to send a file from another Linux computer it just
say "Waiting for queue to be enabled on Printer".
Printer is of course the Printer Server and is defined in hosts.

I am also getting the message  "Printer: lpd: raw: Your host does not
have line printer access".


Also, I have heard that at least on some versions of Red Hat the lpd
spooler doesnt work properly for remote printing.
If this is also the case for Slackware 4.0 then I am willing to use
smbprint to send it to the printerserver via Samba instead.
However I have tried this and cannot get the smbprint script tp work, I
just get errors saying the there are some unrecognised parameters being
passed to smbclient.  I am using the default version of smbprint so if
someone can send me a known working version for Samba 2.0.3 then I would
really appreciate it.

Thanks,  Alex.

At least in my experience the above are symptoms of an address
allocation problem on @Home's end:  they seem to sometimes give the
same IP address to two different people, making it impossible for the
second person (and sometimes the first, too) to communicate with the
rest of the 'Net.

If this is the case, the only ones who can help are @Home.  You'll
need to call their technical support, and bring a lunch -- you might
be a while.  While they've been very helpful to me in these situations
(I've had it happen twice now), they invariably have to pass messages
along to their network operations center, which seems to involve a lot
of flaming and handwaving.  Some sort of jurisdictional row,
apparently.
