Hi ,
I've got a little LAN at home. After some trouble my Win95 sys in the WINIPCFG :
IP-Routing enabled.
But my other PC (Win98 I)says no Internet :-((
Automaticly configuring found no connection.
I've properly installed TCP/IP
Does anybody have an Idea ?
thanx

In the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs change the line:
daemon rpc.mountd
to
daemon rpc.mountd -V 2 -N 3
Restart nfs:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop ; /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
Now it should work.

Dmitri.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Although I can NFS mount remote file systems and file systems on my
machine can be automounted(!) from remote hosts, for some reason I can't
"manually" mount
my machine from remote hosts.
My machine hostname is "lynchm". This is what I see:
# mount lynchm:/home/lynchm /home/ml/lynchmMount
nfs mount: lynchm: NFS service not responding
nfs mount: retrying: /home/ml/lynchmMount
My machine has a single Linux partition, here is my /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda7 / ext2 defaults
1 1
/dev/hda5 /msdosE vfat umask=000
0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults
0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto
0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro
0 0
none /proc proc defaults
0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622
0 0
This is what my /etc/exports file looks like: (the root directory is
exported)
/
This is what my /etc/hosts.allow file looks like:
#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
#
# let any corporate machine access this machine
ALL: ALL
This is what my /etc/hosts.deny file looks like: (only comments!)
#
# hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
# The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that
# the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In particular
# you should know that NFS uses portmap!
Please, SOMEBODY!, give me some ideas about how to let me mount my host
from other hosts.
Thanks.

AFAIK most do and they all don't. What I mean is that most work OK but
none will actually support you if you ring them and say you are using
Linux (if I am wrong here corrections are welcome). AOL is I believe an
exception, because they don't use a standard IP stack and therefore
don't work at all - avoid them (again, corrections welcome). I use
Demon, it works fine except for the lack of 128K ISDN. I also use
Freeserve and FreeNet, both work OK except that 128K on Freeserve
doesn't always work - in my experience[1]. FreeNet is fine for that, so
I recommend them[2]: http://www.freenet.co.uk . Signing up is very
simple too - as you have a connection you can sign up on your mum's
behalf over the net. I have only used them for basic Internet access
though, I have not checked their mail service. I assume it works.
If you just want mail then paying for an ISP connection is a waste - use
a free one.
Regards, Ian
[1] I have asked for help about this one but no-one seems to be able to
offer any.
[2] Your mum does not of course need 128K ISDN. I just feel that a
provider whose services all work is a better one.

Well, I fixed it myself. I added my work DNS to named.conf and let
named cache the hits. Seems to work great. Have I missed anything, or
is this the way it is supposed to work?

Hello out there!
I have the following problem. I have set up a linux gateway using pppd with
the demand option. The gateway serves a Win 95 and a Win NT machine (sorry
for that ;-) ). Whenever the Win NT machine is booting up and the desktop
appears, the linux gateway connects to the internet as if a request was
sent. It doesn't happen when the Win 95 system boots.
All machines are entered in /etc/hosts and also order hosts bind is in
/etc/hosts.conf.

It's hard to offer good advice without knowing precisely which providers
you're considering. With both DSL and cable technologies, you can run
into a number of problems, including:
- ISPs that are clueless about Linux
- ISPs that are hostile towards Linux
- ISPs with overly-restrictive terms of service
- Hardware that's incompatible with Linux
- Oversubscribed service
- Service that just doesn't live up to its claims
- Installation problems
- Etc.
My impression is that you're more likely to run into ISPs that are
clueless about or hostile towards Linux in the cable arena, but you're
more likely to run into bizarre hardware or installation problems with
DSL.
That said, if you know anything about Linux networking and check to be
sure that the ISP uses hardware that interfaces via a standard Ethernet
port, you can probably get it working under Linux as well as you can under
Windows.
Somebody else posted that you'll "certainly get more bandwidth for the
money w/a cablemodem." I disagree, at least as a blanket statement. IN
THEORY, MOST cable modem setups CAN deliver higher bandwidth than the
AVERAGE DSL setup. In practice, it depends upon how both systems are set
up, how competent the ISPs are, etc. Sometimes the cable modem will win,
sometimes DSL will win. You're more likely to get consistently close to
the advertized rate with DSL than with cable, since cable shares bandwidth
earlier in the process than does DSL, and cable's speed claims are based
on bandwidth supplied to an entire neighborhood, whereas DSL's speed
claims relate to your private line to the phone company's central office.
For instance, suppose you're comparing a cable modem that claims 4Mbps and
a DSL line that claims 1Mbps (both made-up figures). If more than four
people at a time use their cable modems in your neighborhood, the cable
and DSL speeds will even out or favor DSL (assuming both ISPs maintain
adequate bandwith further up their chains).
Most posts I've seen from people who've used both technologies seem to
favor DSL, but that sentiment is far from universal, probably largely
because there's so much variability from ISP to ISP. (FWIW, I've had DSL
for about three weeks, and have never used a cable modem.)
One specific piece of advice I will give: If you're considering Flashcom
as a DSL provider, cross it off your list. The number of negative posts
on comp.dcom.xdsl about Flashcom is truly staggering. Check that group
for more information -- both about Flashcom in particular and DSL in
general. Speakeasy is a DSL provider that's getting a lot of praise, and
they use Linux in-house, FWIW. (I'm using Bell Atlantic, FWIW.)

Hi!
Old 2.0 kernels had that "request-route" system, what was "removed" from
later kernels.
Now I need feature that linux-route-box could dial to DIFFERENT numbers
dependin on address what was request..
Old system (kernel) gave that "requested address" as a parameter $1 to
request-route script so it's was plain vanila to change phone number
where ppp-on should call...
SO! How to make that work with 2.2.10 kernel with isdn4linux f.ex.

Just like to say thank-you to the regulars in this newsgroup that take
the time to answer questions.
I live in a remote area of northern Canada, where bookstores and
computer stores (with Linux knowledge) are things I only hear about.
In the past three months I have built a Linux server (runnng RedHat6)
out of parts I've begged or found at the dump :-) and, by reading the
man docs and lurking here in this newsgroup, I've figured out how to
create a home network. I've been working with dos/win stand-alone
machines for nearly 20 years, but this was my first attempt at
networking. Now I have three machines up and running beautifully (NT
wrkstn -- LInux server -- Win95 stn.)
To the Linux experts: your answers and tips are worth more than all the
books ever published; please tolerate us amateurs and keep the advice
flowing.
To the newbies (like me): Read! I've found the answer to the majority of
my questions by simply reviewing previous posts. Why wait for an answer
when it's already there?
