Subject: realtek problem
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 22:06:01 +0200
I just installed Red Hat 5.2 on my computer with an old ISA Ethernet realtek
8019 inside.
The problem is that Linux always finds it busy and does not want to activate
it. The only thing that is working is the loopback device.
To check the base address and irq of the card, i plugged it in an another
computer powered (:-)) by Windows 98 but even with these parameters, i get
again and again the same words on the screen : eth0 is busy, busy, busy.
If anyone could help me....

Subject: SMTP Server Problem
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 10:04:24 -0400
I am trying a linux box for SMTP. Its running sendmail. Internal mails are
working fine. It can send mails to the internet but it cant receive any
mails. e.g If I send a mail from hotmail.com to this server I am trying the
mail comes back saying :
________________________________________________
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at hotmail.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
205.142.28.17 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 553 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... this site does not relay
Giving up on 205.142.28.17.
_________________________________________________
abc.com is my domain with a fixed IP and 205.142.28.17 is the mail server
of my upstream provider. N.B. Domain names are changed for privacy purpose
but assume that user xyz exist in domain abc.com
MX entries in there at DNS server of service provider for mail.abc.com
with preference 10 and preference 30 for 205.142.28.17 ( my service
provider) . mail is the name of my host.
>From some other host, if I try /usr/lib/sendmail -t -v to send a mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it gives error saying :
___________________________________________________
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Connecting to mail.abc.com. via esmtp...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Deferred: Connection refused by mail.abc.com
___________________________________________________
Looks like my server is not accepting the SMTP connection and thus try for
my service provider ( 205.142.28.17) whose preference is 30.. as in the case
of the hotmail error message.
Is the problem with my service provider or my server. Does my server need to
relay to recieve mails. How do you make a linux server relay ? My server is
definetly running sendmail at port 25 as deamon .
Can anybody tell me whats happening ????

OK, first Sygate is a NAT, not a proxy server. So, you
cannot expect it to function in that mode. Secondly, my
luck with getting Linux to pickup the needed info from
Sygate's DHCP server has been flakey, at best.
So, I used fixed addressing, manually massaging the files on
the linux box to see the gateway. Mine is working good
configured this way, regardless of which OS is on my client
side.

Look in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1. Check the line that looks like this:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
make another line right below it that replaces eth0 with eth1 and uses the IP
address and broadcast address that goes with eth1.
That should be all there is to it, except possibley adding a static route, but
I'd try it first.

I am trying to setup a basic DNS server for my home network. I want it
to handle the request for home computers and for finding IP addresses
for Internet requests (Http, ftp, etc.) I had the server running
yesterday but today it decides not to play (or I messed something). Here
is the message when I tried to find an IP address:
*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: No response from
server
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.6: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
I'm using bind for the DNS server. Where should the configuration files
be? I have them presently in /var/log/named.

Paul,
You still only need two NICs in your gateway. On the @home interface,
you'll want to setup an alias, e.g. eth0:0, eth0:1, and so on for each
additional IP address. The NET-3 HOWTO explains this as well as
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/network/alias.txt.
You could then use ipfwadm/ipchains rules or rinetd
(http://www.boutell.com/rinetd) to forward traffic to those new IPs to
hosts inside your network and your masquerading rules will translate the
traffic on the way out.

I was not aware of this chip switch untill I saw your post. I am dismayed
that Netgear is using the same NIC model # in spite of the heart of the unit
being switched to another chipset.

My short research seems to indicate that this is a O/S specific issue; would
you aggree with that ?.
Lastly; is it safe to assume that PNIC reports it self as such and not one
of the earlier chipsets ?.

An IRQ conflict between pppd and the hard drive *might* cause this.
Or perhaps you are logging an extraordinary amount of pppd data to
some file, usually in /var/log but directed there as specified in
/etc/syslog.conf.
One thing that causes a lot of pppd logging is using the pppd option
"kdebug 7". Another thing is to specify something like
*.* /var/log/<whatever>
in /etc/syslog.conf . Reading "man syslogd" and "man syslog.conf" can
help understand more about syslogd logging.

Subject: Win98->Linux PPP server freezes after 5 minutes
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 16:40:00 -0600
I've set up a PPP server on an old 486 running Red Hat Linux 6.0 (2.2.5-15
kernel). The modem is connected to an old serial board, which setserial
identifies as a UART 16450. I'm running mgetty (1.1.14-8) on the port, and
the ppp version is 2.3.7-2.
When I dial in from my home Linux box, everything seems great. I get good,
reliable performance. When I boot the same machine in Windows 98 and dial
in, all seems well at first. Then after a few minutes, the interface seems
to hang or freeze. Any transfers that are going on just stop. I can't ping
the server or anything on the other side. Then after a few minutes, it
sometimes picks up again, like nothing happened. The process repeats like
this, or can hang and never come back (where never>=5 minutes---when I just
give up and disconnect).
I don't think it is a problem with the Windows 98 setup because I use the
same machine to call 3 other PPP ISPs and have never had this problem in 98
(or Linux).
I have turned on IP forwarding and proxy arp on the server:
# echo -n 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# echo -n 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ppp0/proxy_arp
The latter did not seem necessary (maybe it is builtin to the proxyarp
option of pppd?), because it works fine without it.
I use these options for pppd
[root@mule log]# cat /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.255.255
proxyarp
lock
crtscts
modem
I did seem to get better performance when dialing in from linux if I also
set MTU and MRU to 576. (Is this something that is necessary or detrimental
to Windows Dial-up Networking? How do you set it in Windows?)
These /var/log/messages might contain clues. When I connect linux->linux, I
see this:
Aug 22 16:27:56 mule kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered
Aug 22 16:27:57 mule kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered
But when I connect form Windows 98, I see this:
Aug 22 16:59:30 mule kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered
Aug 22 16:59:30 mule pppd[6748]: CCP terminated by peer
Aug 22 16:59:30 mule pppd[6748]: Compression disabled by peer.
In Dial-Up Networking I have the compression options turned on. Any ideas
on what's causing the lock-ups, or things I could try to further diagnose
the problem?
