Ok. let me see ( right now my Window to the world is Windows...:)
Start:-) -> Programme -> MSDos-box
Or did really eliminate MS-Dos on you machine....:-) just curious...
In any case if you can'd do it this way, go into the BIOS and change the
setting for that particular IRQ to non-pnp, then you need to install a
non-pnp driver under WindowXX for your Nic.
The problem still remains that you need to turn off PnP on your Card....
Maybe the Dos-Emulator could really help you...
the funny thing is this the kernel 2.2.11 has already pnp support in it as
well.
I guess I'm not much of a help for you..:-((

Yes, you need to get the 0.16.5 patch so that it will compile on RH 5.0 and
later.
Or, you can go to a Redhat-contrib mirror site, and just download and install
the .rpm

I done all the chmods as you suggested but there seems to be a problem in
verifying the password.
After a while this message is given :
"Timeout expired while waiting for the PPP interface to comeup".
What could be the problem as my connection setup is exactly the same as
root's?

- Different speeds. Some are 10M cards, some are 10/100 cards.
- Different ports. Some 10M cards have 10baseT connectors, some AUI,
and some BNC. And some have various combinations of the three.
- Bus type. ISA, PCI or PCMCIA?
- Branding. Name brands tend to cost more than generics. On the other
hand, name-brands tend to have better support. (3Com, for instance,
has a lifetime replacement policy on their PCMCIA Ethernet cards.)
- Performance. Some may not be able to achieve speeds as fast as
others. I would expect all 10M cards to be able to put out a solid
10Mbps. I don't think you'll find any card that can saturate a 100M
link on a PC, but some cards may do better than others. (I wouldn't
expect more than 20-30Mbps on a 100M card, given the overhead of
software drivers, IP stakc, TCP overhead, application performance, and
the speed of a PCI bus in general.)
As for compatibility, the price has no bearing on it. Some cheap cards
work great on Linux and some expensive cards don't have any driver
support at all. Check the hardware compatibility list from your
favorite distribution if you're not sure what works and what doesn't.

I have been seriously thinking to use Linux and stop using Windows 98. I am
fascinated by Linux's stability and security.
Therefore, I have seriously planing to install Linux and USE IT.
However, it seems that it is not possible for me to use Linux, since I use
cable modem with a 3com ISA card. More precisely, I use 3com EtherLink III
ISA (3C509/3C509b) network interface card, and there are no drivers which
will support my card in Linux.
Did someone else have similar problems?

How did you format the floppy? ext2? If you did a mkfs /dev/fdoH1440 it will
format it with a ext2 file system!!. If so, mac an win9x can not read the ext2
file system! Try formatting the floppy with mkfs.msdos /dev/fdoH1440. The kernel
has to support this as either a module or buildin! Now try the ascii file again!

Hmmm...any idea where those files would be in RedHat 6.0? I find several
references to ifconfig, but nothing that seems to actually set the eth2
interface's settings.

Subject: eth0 ppp0 clash?
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 04:33:34 -0500
Hi,
I recently upgraded my
RH5.1 to the Mandrake RH6.0 clone (@ Borders for $30.). Looks great with
KDE and all, and kppp seemed to work right away, but my ppp seems to
clash with my ethernet. Sometimes I get "No route to host" errors, but
just as often I'll get into a Web site. ping works--after thinking about
it for a while. On a hunch (from bad SCO
experience) I took a look at interfaces with netcfg. I "deactivated"
eth0, and lo and behold ppp works like a charm. Here are some of the
stats with both eth0 and ppp0 active:

You formatted the floppy in the linux ext2 format. No problem for linux
machines, but other platforms may choke on it.
I would suggest using the mtools package to format the floppy in dos
format (mformat) and then use mcopy to copy to the floppy. This also
means you do not have to mount the floppy. That works better.

It's possible for a host that accepts PPP connections to be configured
for PAP or CHAP authentication and still present a login/password prompt
when no PPP-speak is detected at the start of the connection. I'd try
configuring for PAP or CHAP (or both) and remove the chat login/password
expect/sends.
Otherwise minicom is useful for exploring what might be needed after
the login and password are entered.

Give the Linux username and password - if you use "Tools -> Map Network
Drive" from the File Exploder then put the Linux username in the
"connect as" box.
A couple of other points:
1. Some versions of Win9x have a broken implementation of SMB, and they
cast the data they send to the Linux box to uppercase - since Linux (and
Unix) usernames and passwords are case sensitive, Samba must be
configured "hunt" for the real combination. Alleviate this by using all
lowercase usernames and passwords but including digits and symbols in
the password to make it hard to guess.
2. If you get the error "Not authorised to log in from this station" it
is because Windows is configured with its pseudo-security* option
whereby it will refuse to connect unless the other end is using
encryption. Find the file "Win95PlainPassword.reg" and copy it to the
Windows PC and double click to update the appropriate registry setting.
Enjoy
Dave
* To find out why this doesn't really improve security very much, read
the Samba technical docs, they have a succint explanation.

This card is definitely supported by Linux!! I used the same NIC
together with a cable modem. The only problem is plug&punish - you will
have to switch it off.
