Hi, Is there a way to get the network-card Realtek 7912 running in linux?
If it is, with what kernel and how do i do it?

I would say yes to both. The machines will undoubtedly work just the way
they are, but would be loads better with a bit more memory.
I believe Slackware will install in 4MB, I think redhat takes 8, don't

Often, when the serial UART on your modem is sharing an IRQ with another
device, it can cause the modem to operate very slowly - in my case, it
was in the ballpark of 200-300bps. Check into the serial IRQ
configuration.

Problem solved. I am using 3com Etherlink III cards and had not
successfully disabled plug-n-play on one of them. The card appeared to work
but would not correctly recieve packets intended for it. When I re-ran the
3com configuration software, I discovered PnP was still enabled and this
time disabled it and did a "hard" reboot. Now everything works fine.
Thanks to everybody for all the good advice.

Michael,
I think I may have it this time. IRQ3 is usually used for your COM ports,
not your ethernet cards. It now looks like an IRQ conflict. If there is
any way to set the IRQ of that card to something else that currently isn't
in use, I suspect that will clear up your problem.

Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 01:11:04 GMT
Hi,
It has been quite a while for me to participate linux newsgroup. However, I
wonder what has happened to development of NFS v2. Before, there was a rumor
that NFS2 was being developed. Has it done yet?
Right now, Linux's weakness is network performance comparing to NT and Solaris.
Is there anyway we can beat those worthless OSs in network perfomance wise?
Thanks,
Namsuk
Can't stand that Linux is inferior to NT on anything!

Runnig a Linux box with Masquerading and packet filtering. I'm Logging
all kinds of rejected packets from various IP's using all sorts of
ports. Is it generally a good idea to try and track down where these
packets are coming from and why or is that an essentially endless and

Hi,
It may not be the best answer since I know nothing about that stuff, but
since it's urgent...
Why not adding few lines to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script which seems to
be the last one to be run at boot time?

Good luck trying to get a C class block from anyone but your ISP, and
chances are if you only need 50, then you're not going to get a full
C. If you're lucky you might get a /28 from them (well if they
consider your actual needs prior to talking money) :)

Reply-To: "Marc Knapp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
That's almost correct. True, AOL does want you to use their software BUT
you can connect w/o ever infecting/installing their software on your
machine.
How??
AT&T Worldnet ( download.att.net ), through an agreement with AOL, has
what's called the "Bring Your Own Access plan." Now it may have changed in
the two years since I worked for AT&T but then it entailed dialing into AT&T
Worldnet ( a regular dialup account ) then following a link from their
members-only webpage that connected you to AOL.
With AOL using buffer overflows now to identify Microsoft clients
connecting, this may have changed. But check out the site above or the
Worldnet Users Reference Desk www.wurd.com

How are you connecting your machines? are you using a hub or 10base-2 (coax)?
If not, you need to use a 'crossover cable' (check to see if your ethernet
cards' link lights are on).

Subject: Problem installing RH60 over network
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 03:11:31 GMT
Hello.
I've recently downloaded RedHat 6.0 off of a mirror site for the
distribution and have run into some problems installing it. I was
wondering if anyone else has had this same problem.
My network is made up of one Win98 machine and one RH52 machine,
although now RH52 has been wiped.. I'll get to that..
Anyways, I've created the bootnet.img bootdisk to install over my
Ethernet card and when I get to the point of which type of install,
first I chose install over FTP because I threw up a FTP server with
the distro on it. Well, it connected fine as far as the server said,
and even went to recall stage2.img just fine, but for some reason on
the Linux machine, it told me the file could not be found. So I threw
up an HTTP server and tried it that way only to get the same error..
Now I'm trying a NFS server product with the same results.. I've
tried many various FTP and HTTP servers I found off of TUCOWS and they
all say that the connection is fine (whether it's anonymous, or setup
to login with an account) and that Linux is calling for the stage2.img
file just fine, but still no go.
So I found some extra space and FTP'd the distro to my RH52 machine on
the /home mounted partition and did a local install. It went through
just fine. It let me pick out the packages I wanted and then it
formatted my partitions (except the one I was using of course), but
then once done formatting, gave me the error "Cannot create symbolic
link" or something to the sort of that. So now my RH52 operating
system is gone and I'm stuck on the Windows side.
Can anyone give some reasons as to what may be preventing the Linux
install from seeing that file? As far as network settings, I know I
have my IP settings right. They worked before. I use 192.168.0.1 for
Linux and 192.168.0.2 for Win98.
Thanks for any help!

Do you really need a default route for the LAN? Unless there is a route
between your LAN and another LAN you don't need a default route for the
LAN, a network-specific route is all you need.

Don't mess with the registry, there's an easier way. On the win98 cd is a file
that will do the job for you. Look in \tools\mtsutils for a file called
ptxt_off.inf, then just right click and install. That turns off encrypted
passwords.

3. do I need only one machine to connect the 2 networks?

Kelly,
try this at a prompt:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 57600 debug connect "
/usr/sbin/chat -v '' AT OK AT<ISP#> CONNECT ""ppp
'' ogin: <yourusername> assword: <yourpassword> "
It may not be exactly what you need, but I tried
it once in hopes it would solve one of my
problems and noticed it sending ppp^M to the
port.

Matthew,
The company I work for has dial-up RAS for its employees when they need to
work from somewhere other than their office. Using TCP/IP only, and
Windows DUN (dialup networking), I get shares to any NT servers I'm
authorized to access (including my own work PC running NT Workstation), and
Network Neighborhood using NetBT (NetBios over TCP/IP). It's certainly
nothing new, but it is very cool...

Subject: Boot on LAN?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 03:30:08 GMT
I have several linux boxen in my care. One runs headless 24/7 as a
server and I use another for interactive stuff. The latter machine
usually gets powered down if I go away for the weekend. Occasionally,
though, I find a need to get at something on this machine when I am
away from home and the machine is powered down.
This machine also has a fairly nice (if a little outdated) Intel
motherboard (integrated ethernet) which reminds me that it can "boot
on lan" every time it goes through the BIOS init. I got to thinking
this evening that it would be nice if I could power this machine up
remotely.
The owners manual makes mention of a "Magic Packet" and I have found a
number of dos/win apps to generate one, but no Linux appl. Does
anyone know if there exists a Magic Packet generator for Linux?
-p.
