In httpd.conf, check the "BindAddress" keyword
-> BindAddress <IP you want it to listen to>
You could also block the port apache is using in a simple firewall rule.
For ipfwadm this would be :
ipfwadm -I -i deny -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D <your IP#> 80
For IPchains refer to the ipchains manpage or howto.

Could you post the boot debug messages (from /var/log/dmesg or
/var/log/messages)? The driver may say something useful. Not sure what a
"Pro 120" really is, but if it Tulip-based, it *should* work.
You may also want to look at the diagnostics program and other info at
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip.html

Enter CMOS/BIOS setup at boot and poke around the menus, specifically

No, the 3Com card should be OK. You will want to find out which one it
is, although auto-probing for it might work. Most 3Com 10BaseT cards are
very well supported and happy under Linux. Here are some ratings and info
for 3Com NIC's:
http://lhd.datapower.com/db/searchproduct.cgi?name=3com
Most drivers for earlier cards are intuitively named -- e.g., 3c503 uses
the 3c503.c driver.

Michael:
What dist do you use?. If you have RH6, Samba is already installed. all you
need is to export correctly your shares and give it the correct permissions.
if you want to include your Linux Box in a NT domain you would manually have
to insert the Linux box in the NT domain as stated in the SMB-HOWTO, take a
look at it, shoure help.

Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 08:50:44 -0400
Nilang,
As I understand it, it is possible to force the state of the tulip
chip by setting the appropriate options in the /etc/conf.modules
file. You will probably see something like:
alias eth0 tulip
in the file. Simply add the line:
options tulip options=n
where 'n' is determined using the information below. BTW, you can
also add:
debug=n
to enable driver debugging. (I added debug=6 to see what all was
going on in the driver.)
If you take a look at the web page:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip.html
it lists the various options and the corresponding media selection.
For 10Mbs, it would appear a value of 1, 4, 9, 10, or 12 would be
appropriate. This mostly would depend upon whether you are using
thinwire or twisted pair for the interconnects.
I do have to add a caveat here: I haven't been able to get the NIC
(tulip based) on my PC to work as yet. That means all of the above
is what I expect is *supposed* to happen :-)
(The problem I'm having is the driver fails to negotiate the
connection [status 0x000000c6, 0x000000c7, or 0x000020c7] for
the twisted pair interconnect, and falls back to 100baseT which
fails miserably because the network doesn't support it.)
Good luck.
- Mark

I'm not sure whether we do, either. If there were sufficient demand,
I suspect something could be arranged.
(I'm an engineer at MessagingDirect,
<URL:http://www.messagingdirect.com/>. I know virtually nothing about
the client, however. Personally, I use XEmacs and Gnus. The
engineers in Canada use it (on Linux) and other staff in the company
use it (mostly on Windows), so presumably it's a good MUA.)

Tom: Something is wrong in your lan. Your ISP cannever give you a 10.x.x.x
address,. Check your local netmask, and do setup ipmasq the simplest:
# ipchains -P forward DENY
# ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
This will give you a transparent proxy. Setup your default gateway your
Linux Box, chech ipconfig in the W98 to point to this GW.. Seup the DNS
correctly for your ISP�s... you should be able to ping outside and do
anything as if you where directly conneted to your ISP from your W98
provided you get a correct IP from them, if not, something else is wrong.
Chech ROUTE.

How shall I get those drivers? I have been at the 3com site, but they do not

What are you forwarding? Are you passing the local private network
(192.168.2.*) to the outside network? It might be that it's looping or
doing something strange... but, I have other theories (see below).

I have a 10/100 Netgear card, the older kind that used the tulip
driver. At 10BaseT, it runs fine, never had a problem. But then I
upgraded the hub to a 10/100 combo, so that all of the dual-speed cards
could communicate at 100Mbs. The card began to slow down and drop
packets at that speed. I recompiled the kernel, the module, and still
nothing worked. I finally traded it with a newer version of the same
card that uses a different chipset (DEC discontinued or revoked the
license). It works flawlessly now, and I stuck the DEC card in a
Windows box, using the Windows driver. It still seems flaky, but I
attribute that to the OS more than the card. :)

Pass along your ipchains rules (or portions of them). I'm curious to
see if it's trying to loop or causing any form of network
congestion/contention.

Thank you for your answer!

Can you ping an IP address of another machine? Try pinging the Windows
machine from a linux machine using only the IP address. If that works,
then you don't have DNS setup correctly. See the NET-HOWTO (hint
/etc/hosts)
If the above fails, what does "netstat -rn" say? What does
/sbin/ifconfig say?
