I was wondering where the most recent NFS HOWTO is. The only one I can find
dates back to 1997 and kernel 2.0.x.

The same cable can also be used for token ring, which uses pairs on
pins 4/5 & 3/6.

Hello Paul,
D-Link DFE 530 TX uses "via-rhine.o".
(1) You can create rc.modules file with the following 2 lines in it:
#!/bin/sh
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/via-rhine.o
This will load the module at bootup, of course, you can load it by typing:
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/via-rhine.o
If this is the case, fire-up netcfg and activate eth0 manually.
Then type: ifconfig
(2) Place this rc.modules to /etc/rc.d/ (as /etc/rc.d/rc.modules) and chmod
it to 755.
(3) Make sure your conf.modules file has the following 2 lines in it
(assuming your NIC's irq is 10 and io address at 0xb800):
options eth0 io=0xb800 irq=10
alias eth0 via-rhine
(4) Reboot your machine, can you see Bringing up interface eth0 [OK] this
time? If so, ping your NT machine.
PS. I am not familiar with Mac's apple talk.
Good Luck,
Cliff

I need to use pppd with a odd speed of 64000 on a RS-232 serial interface,
but unfortunatly all that pppd gives is
pppd[546]: pppd 2.3.7 started by root, uid 0
pppd[546]: speed 64000 not supported
but the man pages for pppd mentions that on Systems like 4.4BSD and NetBSD
any speed can be specfied.......so IS LINUX ONE OF THEM ?
or is anyspeed on Linux is not supported with serial/ppp ?
if possible how can it be achnived ?
TIA

192.0.0.x isn't a very clever setup , anyways. Private LANs
should be using 192.168.x.x range addresses . If you just want to
try it with your current setup, skip the RH configurator and do a
ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0

Your hardware may have been automatically reconfigured by Win98.
Check the output of 'dmesg' for possible IRQ conflicts; Win98's
PNP capabilities might have resetted the NIC's settings (or that
of any other card installed) in a way that will not work in Linux.
Try 'cat < /proc/interrupts' as well

You probably have to recompile the kernel (or you can check hardware

For recompiling, you look in kernel HOWTO (linuxberg.com) or ask on #linux

First of all, READ the book. There are also MANY great books about teaching
linux on Amazon.com, buy some of them. You should know, that teaching linux
is not as easy as windows, it will take a lot of time and reading, but when
you learn things, then your knwledge will be MUCH greater than windows users
usually have. For documentatinon on internet, i recomend HOW-TO's wich you
have on your CD or on http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/
Good luck, and don't give up. Write me privately on [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more
information (but READ the BOOKS first, or i wont help you!)
