Since you can clear up the situation by stopping and
restarting the card I would tend to think that either the
board is starting to go bad or you need a new driver.

Hello Robert,
You mean you installed everything but can't locate it?
It should be /usr/bin/smbmount
Simply type "smbmount" without the quotes and see what you get..

The -N option is to disable password.

Subject: Trying to get IPX over PPP working. All I get is "Received bad
configure-ack"
Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 00:53:47 -0700
I've read the IPX-HOWTO, the PPP HOWTO and everything else I could get
my
hands on and I've just plain run out of ideas.
I've got a single network of win95/98 workstations, a linux server for
PPP dialup access and a Novell Netware server which supplies files for
the Win9X boxes. I'm interested in getting dialup machines to be able
totransparently use the Novel file server as though they were on the
local network.
Its a RedHat 5.2 system with a 2.2.12 kernel and PPP v2.3.5 with
(I think) IPX_CHANGE specified as the SRPM seems to indicate that's
the way RedHat built it.
I've compiled the kernel with IPX and have the ipx.o module loaded.
I've also got the eth0 interface setup as the primary ipx interface.
All that seems to go smoothly:
[root@server /tmp]# /sbin/ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:69 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:69 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:C9:3E:C6:17
inet addr:192.168.10.1 Bcast:192.168.10.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
IPX/Ethernet 802.2 addr:784EFF00:00A0C93EC617
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:306 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:130 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe400
I also have ipxripd up and running:
[root@server /tmp]# cat /proc/net/ipx_route
Network Router_Net Router_Node
784EFF00 Directly Connected
I've also got PPP configured correctly and dialup users can establish
a connection without any problems using the normal TCP/IP configuration.
However, now I've added the following to /etc/ppp/options{.ttyS0}:
asyncmap 0
lock
crtscts
modem
ms-dns 192.168.10.1
ms-wins 192.168.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
passive
proxyarp
idle 300
ipxcp-accept-network
ipxcp-accept-remote
ipxcp-accept-local
192.168.10.7:192.168.10.8
ipx
ipx-network 0x784EFF00
ipx-node 2:0
(I've had a few other options specified but they don't change the
problem I'm having.)
So now on to the problem:
The client dialup box is a Windows98 box and it has a dialup
adapter, Network client and IPX protocol bound to the dialup
adapter.
When I dialup the linux server a PPP connection is established but
/etc/ppp/ipx_up never gets run and /var/log/messages has these
tidbits in it:
Sep 1 00:41:47 server kernel: ppp_ioctl: set flags to f070043
Sep 1 00:41:47 server kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered

Sep 1 00:42:14 server last message repeated 8 times
Sep 1 00:42:17 server pppd[623]: IPXCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
What does "Received bad configure-ack: 01 06..." mean and how do I get
it to go away? I think this error message is crucial and related to
why the IPX over PPP never comes up.
What configuration item am I missing that is causing this problem?
Also... Why does the peer disable compression and how can I get it to
allow compression.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer,
Jeff Wiegley

Subject: PPP hostnames vs IP
Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 07:31:03 GMT
Hi,
I'm pretty new to Linux and am still getting my box up and running. I
have finally solved the problem of dialing my ISP successfully and now am
just tangling with the issue of accessing the web. I can ping localhost
and 205.188.247.66 (www.netscape.com) fine, but when I try pinging
www.netscape.com itself, it can't find the host. I can open up the IP in
Netscape as well, but IP addresses only, not hostnames.
My /etc/ppp/options file is as follows:
lock
domain pacbell.net
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
crtscts
defaultroute
debug
modem
/dev/ttyS0
115200
noipdefault
user rpez021
My /etc/hosts file has this:
107.0.0.1 localhost localhost.domain.net
Incidentally, I get no errors per se, and I have no resolv.conf file
anywhere, so the references I've seen to that in various postings are lost
on me. Please help if you can! And thanks a lot!

I don't know exactly the difference between bzImage and zImage.
Both are compressed kernel images.
The bzImage is usually smaller than the zImage (this is important,
because the kernel is limited to some size).
I think lilo can handle the bzImages better than the zImages (relocating and stuff),
therefore it's recommended to use the bzImages.

Make sure /etc/services is readable to everyone (e.g. -rw-r--r--).

It looks like your side is rejecting the use of PAP. When I had that
problem it was due to a naming problem. Take a look at your pap-secrets
file. The first field in the relevant line is your "peer-id". That
almost certainly has to match your "user name" from your ISP's point of
view, but it must also either match your hostname *or* be named in a
name or user option in your pppd options. For example, my computer
hostname is prilep although my "user name" at my ISP is shochat.
Therefore, I *must* say
user shochat
in my options or else my side will reject the use of PAP. Like all pppd
options, it can go either in the pppd command line or in the options
file.
Just a hunch, but it matches your symptom.

Subject: how to reroute cisco to firewall?
Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 09:17:18 GMT
I have been using a Cisco ISDN router for some time as our internet
gateway.
Have just installed a dedicated firewall machine, and I suppose I need
to change the routing table on my Cisco.
The problem is I have only 1 class C and the Cisco won't let me do
what I think I need to do -- hopefully I've got it wrong and someone
can guide me.
current configuration (no subnetting at all):
ethernet 0
ip address 203.19.6.1 255.255.255.0
need to route the class C to 203.19.6.2 which is connected on ethernet
0.
Any suggestions welcome.
Regards,
Tim.

You will find the images of various boot kernels on the first CD in
/images. See the readme in /images for details.
To write an image to a floppy under DOS you�ll need the rawrite utility
which resides on the first CD in /dosutils/rawrite. A readme file
describing the syntax of rawrite is also located there.
