I have recently be getting these messages on any network activity.
I did recompile the kernel and change the startup scripts at the same
time, then rebooted. So I don't know what area is causing the problem.
I am also having trouble with wvdial, it says no responce on ATZ, but
minicom works find. I used wvdialconf to generate the file and it found the
right port fine.
Where is the document on pppd dialing with chat. I read it a few days ago
but
now can't remember the syntax, and I can't find the file in the few hundred
megabytes of howtos, faqs and books.
Any help, documents to read would be appreciated.

One wouldn't expect this to work (127, two machines on different
networks), try using 192.0.0.2 and 192.0.0.3 on the PC & the Mac.

What about references to ne.c?
Probably not, which would imply the driver module didn't get loaded.
See "man insmod", "man ifconfig".
Type "ifconfig" and see if eth0 is listed.

Hmm, you should get transmit/receive stats.
Although 2.0.32 is pretty old, it may be different.

No, sorry. It's very different.
One possibility is to go grab a newer kernel and just compile in ne.o
permanently. But first try those other things, at worst it'll be a
learning experience.

Subject: problem Installing RH6 via FTP
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 14:37:02 GMT
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a small problem I am running
into donig an FTP install (my 486 does'nt have a CD-ROM) on a computer I
wish to use as IP-Masqurading on.
I am using 3Com509b cards (I have disabled the plug and play on them yes and
I know the settings I have asssigned them i.e. IO and IRQ do not conflict
cause windows 98 saw them no problem and connected to the @home system)
I use a boonet.img floppy to boot the system and then go thought the
questions, selecting in FTP install and then static IP address. Filing out
all my info that both @home and winipcfg gave me about my settings. However
when I put in the FTP site and Directory I get errors. This is where the odd
things start to happen. I usually get a "bad server responce" error but can
also get "unable to connect to server" error. I have yet to get it to
connect to ANYTHING this way. I played with the Path (to the 2nd stage
install image) and one time I did, by putting in the wronge path, got the
modem lights to flash much more vigerously than before before spitting out
the error "could not find file".
I am only working with one NIC in the machine right now in case they were
interfearing with each other, and have swapped cards making sure it was'nt
the card. no luck.
I have hooked up a windows 98 box and it saw both cards (in legacy mode) and
I was able to rin winproxy with them just fine so I know its not the cards.
Whats odd is that in digging through winipcfg I did get a dhcp server addy.
however if I chose DHCP method of install I get a bad rescponce. (might just
be a dead end)
I would REALLY appreciate any help and NOT have to go to a windows box to
use for my proxy.
(feeling like the only one with this problem )

Okay! Now' I'v really had it!!! Checked everything and it all seems to
be allright.
But Samba services fail, since the smbd-daemon gives no sign of life,
even when present. When I give: ps x | grep mnb, nothing shows up. But
when I do: /bin/ls/ -l /usr/sbin/smbd /usr/sbin/nmbd, they are both
fine. What can be wrong?
Anybody knows?

No test can be complete, because nobody can know about undiscovered bugs
in the software that might gain access. In general, though, you need to
try to break into your computer from outside, or get somebody else to do
that if you're not competent to do so. I know of one VERY BASIC
automated test that's available online. You sign up for this and the
maintainer runs various port scans on your system to see what services
are available. This will tell you where your some of your POTENTIAL
vulnerabilities are, but that's it. If nothing else, it's a reasonable
starting point:

Ooops?
One of my Linux boxes does use a 3C509. Had no problems to get it running.
Even the Linux which included kernel 2.0.33 supported it.

I'm working on setting up my linux server to connect to
the internet. I'm using "eznet" to connect and handle the
ppp side of everything. After it's connected, I try to ping
my nameserver, and instead of going outside, I'm watching
the lights on my hub flash for the server only. I think
that it is trying to ping the address, just going to the
wrong network device.
I'm relatively new to linux, have read the howto's for ppp,

Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 10:48:24 -0500
I have a small Win98 network, with 2 TCP/IP printers. Server has 64MB RAM +
128MB Swap, 2GB free space on HD. Small print jobs are fine, but large jobs
shutdown the print queue. I had trouble printing jobs larger than 20MB when
there was 32MB RAM + 64MB swap. Now I can print jobs up to 40MB.
Unfortunately I need to regularly print jobs from 50-100MB. The problem
seems RAM dependent, but swap file increases do not seem to help.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi,
I was hoping someone could tell me if theres a way of increasing your
connection speeds under linux RH 5.2. In windows it gives you the option in
the advanced section of modem setup of increasing your modem send / recieve
buffer sizes. This can make a notable increase to people on a good quality
connection. mIRC the chat program has a command to max out your packet sizes
on DCC transfers which once again makes a huge difference. Is there
something I can do at a system level with Linux to get things flowing a bit
quicker??

If you'd list both /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf as well as /etc/lmhosts
we might be able to help. To make DNS work for me temporarily, I made a
file lmhosts in my /etc just like the Win98 lmhosts file (check out
c:\windows\lmhosts.sam ) And I have Samba running with the 'DNS PROXY =
YES' option. Now I can use names instead of IP numbers. Only works for my
local network...

I've already tried blocking port 80 (squid listens on 3128) I also
implemented some changes in squid.conf and redirected traffic via ipchains.
But it still didn't work.

I understand that the SB PCI128 is supported; I remember seeing
something to that effect on one of the newsgroups recently. (I'm
usually too lazy to get sound working, myself.)
I have a MAG monitor of some sort, but in general there's no problem
with monitors. One suggestion: track down your monitor's specifications
before trying to configure X. You'll want to know the horizontal and
vertical frequency limits so that X can set timings that don't fry the
monitor (it's happened to me). If you don't have the information,
specifying your monitor as a "generic multisync" usually works with
anything that's not too old.

Try, "ps aux | grep smb"
Is samba being started in your init scripts? Depending on what
distribution you have, how samba is started may differ, so your

Last Update 1999-08-05
Intention
This is a draft, it isn't finished at all!
This guide gives some very rough hints about the things to do when you
setup e-mail for a
small domain or a single computer. It is not intended as a full blown
description, but just as a
collection of hints, of DOs and DON'Ts. The MTA I will describe is sendmail
(the current
version can be found at ftp.sendmail.org .) There are others available too,
but I'm used to
sendmail and I recommend it. Please send comments/suggestions to me.

Subject: Need to implement PPPoE for DSL service...
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 16:47:57 GMT
I'm currently using DHCP to connect to my ISP and its always worked
fine. Now they are going to some kind of access management s/w and it
requires PPPoE in order for me to connect. Since they only officially
support WinBloze and Mac's they haven't produced the s/w for Linux. I'm
running SuSE 6.1.
Has anyone out there experienced this and do you know what I need to
setup on my machine to be able to connect? I'm assuming that I need to
get the PPP s/w installed first.
Cheers!!
