What errors do you get? Getting the vendor-supplied driver to work may be
a good first step.

Hi All:
I am having a little problem with my Xircom REM56G-100 pcmcia adapter.
Seems to only work at 10mbps. I have downloaded and installed
pcmcia-cs-3.0.14 with RH 6.0. /var/log/messages indicates 100mbps but
as soon as the adapter is assigned an IP the 100 light on my Netgear
switch drops to 10mbps.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

First, try ./g2p3-linux-2_0_30.bin
Second, what kernel are you using? I don't use Redhat much, but isn't 6.0 using
one of the 2.2.x kernels? If that is the case, you need a different version from
the RealNetworks site.
I had to get the new version when I switched to kernel 2.2.10 (I am using
Slackware, anyway).
And yeah, it runs nicely.

Hello,
I have in my firewall two NE2000 ISA cards, they are both detected with a
line
append = "ether=0,0,eth1" in the lilo.conf file,
but I want to use two PCI ne2000 cards....
Currecntly I run this firewall (with kernel 2.0.34) on an old Pentium 100 on
a Intel TRITON motherboard but
the ne2kpci.c driver only detect one card (eth0) and not eth1 ...
Can someone help me to detect the other PCI ne2000

Disable any services you don't really need. Run tcpwrappers
on the services you do need, configured to allow access only
from trusted sites. Do as much as possible off-line and
only connect when you need to exchange news/mail or browse
the web. Crackers can't get in when you're not connected.

RH's Network Configurator says my IP address is 192.0.0.3, my netmask is
255.255.255.0, my broadcast is 192.0.0.255. Evertything checks out. I

Hi,
I finally got both of my cards to work, and I can surf fine from the LINUX
gateway, and can ping all my internal LAN machines, but the internal LAN
machines can't get on the Internet. I configured a firewall with the
rlz.ne.mediaone.net/linux website, so I don't think that's the problem, but I
do believe my routing is messed up. Below are the routing and ifconfig with

New to Linux and Unix ...
Running RH Mandrake 6 with a multi-function 3COM 3CCFEM556B PCMCIA card.
After reviewing the NET-3, PCMCIA, and ETHERNET how-to - it appears that
this card is supported via the 2c574_cs module.
I am able to successfully make a ppp connection via kppp without incident -
however - the NIC side will not work. If connected to my 10 mbit LAN at
home - I get a solid green light. At work on my 100 mbit LAN - a blinking
green. Either way - I can't even ping. ifconfig, linuxconf and netcfg all
report activated.
Mandrake's help has been unhelpful.
Is anyone else using this card?
What am I doing wrong?
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,

I installed a linux IP MASQ router 3 months ago.
I used the LRP 1 floppy disk distro (www.linuxrouter.org), i installed
everything correctly using an old 386/40MHZ with no FPU and 8MB Ram, and a
3C509 3com card and a NE2000 clone.
it worked perfectly for 2 months, and suddenly without touching anything my
system hangs every 30 minutes.
I changed ALL hardware components (MB, net cards, io controller, psup,
etc...) without any change.
No modification has been made to my LRP disk (i sealed the write protection
switch on the floppy disk when i first installed the machine).
My internet connection on the NE2000 clone network card using a cable modem
works fine if i connect a win95 notebook directly to the cable modem (for
dayyyyssss)...
I am beginning to loose thrust in linux as a stable kernel platform.....
I tried everything ...
Anyone seen this before ?????

This is due to a new feature of sendmail to prevent relaying mail from
spammers. I had the same problem. Preventing relaying is not possible
when hosting customers web sites (they'd like to send mails to whoever
they want and me too).
The solution consist in editing the sendmail.cf file. Then comment in
ruleset 98 everything concerning spam (from Sspammers to the end of
ruleset in my version 8.8).
As antispam should be a concern, I looked for another way to prevent it.
The only way that cause no problem for I and our customers is to
maintain a database of known spammers and then check sender address in
incoming mail.

I am running Linux 2.2.11 and I have two ethernet cards, with eth0 connected
to a cable modem to the internet, and eth1 connected to a hub which is
connected to the second computer. The Linux machine has IP address
34.99.192.169 and the other machine has IP address 34.99.192.95. The Linux
machine has no problems connecting to the internet. But, it won't forward
any packets from the other machine. (I do believe it receives the packets
