Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 22:56:49 +0000
I have an external isdn terminal adaptor, 3Com Impact IQ. When using
KPPP it would take about a minute to initialize, then a minute longer
before actually connecting. Through some experimenting I discovered how
to solve this.
In KPPP go to Setup button, then to Modem tab, then to Modem Command
button, Here you will see entries for Pre-Init Delay and Post-Init
Delay. Mine were set to 50 by default. I moved these to the smallest
number possible, 0 for Pre-Init and 1 for Post-Init.
Now it will initialize, dial, and connect in less than 15 seconds.
Hopefully this will help more folks out there with similar problems, and
I know there are lots of ya!
Good Day,
and Thanks to all who have helped me over the last few months as I have
been learning Linux.

In sys-linux.c, add a line
#include <sys/sysmacros.h>
directly after the line that includes sys/stat.h
That did the trick for me.

Easiest is to ignore the other two responses you got ; )
When you are at the smb: \> 'prompt', if you want to mount the share, simply
type 'mount /mnt/win'. smbmount exits, you're back at your command line,
and your drive is mounted at /mnt/win. Easy, eh?

If you don't have the patience or desire to learn Linux then
that's EXACTLY what you should do - go back to windoze.

Go into your /etc/inetd.conf file and enable POP3 support to fix the no
answer problem..
as for the Do not relay message.. that's from your ISP.. looks like you are
trying to bounce an Email off their SMTP server.. Most ISP's (including us)
will shut that down in a heartbeat.. LOL.
Seriously.. make sure that Sendmail is configured and your DNS resolution is
setup right.. Sendmail will burst the email out to the Internet without
needing to go through a relay site.. Some sites will reject connections from
you unless you have an MX entry for your domain in a reverse domain lookup
query, but that's really kind of uncommon and there isn't a way around it
unless you have your own static IPs, dedicated link, and 2 domain servers to
host your domain. If you happen to have your own domain already though,
odds are your ISP would make an MX entry in the DNS tables for you.

Linux has better support for setting it up (aka lots of people to give you
advice).. from a difference standpoint, there isn't much.
Actually though... routers are getting pretty cheap.. unless you have a ton
of PC's sitting around, it's probably cheaper to pick up a Cisco 7000 or a
4700M from Ebay for about $2000 to $3000 with 6 ethernet ports on it.. It
would definitely work / perform better in a business environment.

Yeah.. believe it or not.. it's up, installed, and properly configured.. all
the servers appear to be happy and communicating via NIS (ypserv/ypbind),
but it doesn't seem to share account info.. only device / mail locations.
You're right.. the documentation for it really sucks..

Subject: Re: how to set full duplex?
Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 00:29:30 -0700
Two issues... one.. Win98 is not capable of full duplex, very few OS's
actually are, even if the full duplex light does come one... the short list
in no particular order that I am aware of:
Solaris
Linux
Netware
Windows NT Server (not workstation)
HP-UX
AS/400
Full Duplex is not necessarily better... Believe it or not.. I've always
seen servers run much faster in half duplex, since most of the time is spent
accessing the drives anyway at 100 mpbs.. If it's a 10 mb connection, then
there may be some benefit.. but for an end-to-end connection, I really
wouldn't recommend it.. It's more for the Cisco Catalyst or Cabletron
SmartSwitch environments.

Apples and Oranges... Switches are high-speed data interconnection devices,

different networks, be it separate IP networks, token ring/ethernet,

stations are getting IP addresses from the NT server which is running DHCP

(this lag happens reguardless of user eg it happens to root too).I am able

about 20 seconds (there is only one hop). I look and the inetd.conf file and

have samba running on the mahcine I can see it in network neighboorhood but
when I try to acces/mount the the serve it prompts me for a password nothing
seems to work .. I'm using the same user name with the same password for
allthings except when it is nesscary to operat as root! if I bring up
netscape and type in yoda. I can acess the server. Any info at all or info
that can point me in the directiong of help would be greatly appreciated.. I

IMHO:
Fact: Linux is a Dog to learn if you don't know Unix. For what it does, Windas
does a reasonable job in simplifying the traditionally difficult.
Fact: Linux offers infinitely (??) more flexibility than Windas, straight out of
the box, if you're willing to learn about it.
If you're a Windas user getting sick of the lack of flexibility (plus other
things), then Linux is the next step. If you just wanna run everyday apps & not
be bothered with flexibility or relatively excruciating setup, then Windas is
the way to go.
Why Linux & Windas uses can't agree on this is beyond me. (Actually religiously
stubborn pride is a major reason....)
All IMHO.

Hello,
Yes, in addition, you need to add another backslash before \c.
Backslash "\" means something in shell and many other scripting languages,
therefore, you need to escape it by adding another backslash.
I forgot to mention about the -N option, it's to disable password prompt.
So basically you can enter such line..
smbmount \\\\mypc\\c /mnt/win -N in your linuxconf so this will mount your
samba share at bootup. (assuming your win98 machine is always on)

Is your DNS working properly still? Is your external DNS host/access available
(ie. are you connected to your isp?) when you try this?

I wouldnt recommend disabling PnP in the bios, some cards dont like that at
all.
(my ethernet card required PnP to work)
As far as I knew, PnP was already here for PCI cards, and the utility isapnp
deals with the isa cards. Oh, and crossstick, dont forget to uncomment out
the
(ACT Y) when doing "isapnp isapnp.conf" doesnt yell at you!
