Looks like a permissions problem. Try typing: "xhost +sunhostname" on your linux box
first. This will add the sun box to the list of servers that can "display/connect" to
your
X server. By default, most X Servers are configured to NOT let a remote system
"display/connect" to another without that person (X server) granting permission.
Just typing "xhost" on my linux system displays the following:
[scowles@voyager scowles]$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET:voyager
[scowles@voyager scowles]$

Subject: How To Change EtherNet Card Driver After Install??!!!
Date: 3 Sep 1999 13:26:35 GMT
I have been searching for days in HOWTO's and Linux sites
for a very simple piece of information....
How do I change the driver for my EtherNet card in RedHat 5.1?
I picked the wrong one at install.
It is completely non-obvious how to do this. I'd appreciate a
reminder by email if anyone knows how to accomplish what
should be (in a normal operating system) a fairly
straightforward task.
Thanks in advance

Subject: dsl problems using ppp and dhcp to get ip, nslookup doesn't work
Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 13:47:53 GMT
I am trying to figure out why my cisco 675 external dsl modem is working
as shown by the traceroute command output, but my linux box is not. DHCP
is working as I am able to get an ip address, gateway address and dns
nameserver ip addresses. Any help would be aprreciated, I downloaded the
latest version of dhcpcd from http://www.phystech.com/download .
I am running redhat 5.2 and kernel 2.2.9, I don't have any of the
masquerading or firewall setup yet.
Here is the relevant problems

This is done in minicom. So the cisco 675 adsl modem is getting out on
the network, but my linux
box cannot. I am not doing any masquerading or firewalling.

You get points for telling us what kind of card you are using, which version
of the kernel and which version of the PCMCIA system.

But you lose points for not defining "not work" and for not telling us which
distribution and version of distribution you are using.
For what it is worth, I have pretty much concluded that PCMCIA ethernet just
doesn't work (I will define this in a moment) under RH 6.x - I have been
wrestling with this the past few days and have given up - I will be
switching to Debian (where, BTW, the exact same hardware setup works fine).
By "not work", I mean that I am able to get the PCMCIA system working, I
"ifconfig" the card and "route add default gw", and after that, I can
"sort of" ping my gateway and "almost sort of" ping outside machines, but
after that, it just hangs up and dies. I can also, sort of, almost, telnet
to outside machines, but it either hangs immediately, or does
"Connected to w.x.y.z" and then hangs.
Suspect some kind of IRQ conflict or some nonsense like that but don't have
time or inclination to debug it...

First, boot Linux, and after backing up anything important, use fdisk from
single user mode (do "shutdown now") to delete all Linux partitions.
Reboot from a Win95 floppy with the Win95 version of fdisk on it, and do
"fdisk /mbr". This overwrites the master boot record with a generic (ie, not
LILO) boot loader. This is also handy if you suspect an MBR virus. In any
case, that will destroy LILO so it will boot Win95 by default.
Run Win fdisk again, change to your 1G drive, and add partitions. If you
have Win95B or later it will ask you if you want to enable large disk
support. Say yes to get FAT32, no to get normal FAT. After fdisk is done,
REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER. Then use format to format the new partitions.

Does anyone have experience setting up their Linux host to exist on 2
networks. I have an ethernet connection to a LAN through my ethernetcard
on one domain and a connection to a LAN through a ppp0 device through
another domain. Bot use dynamic IP addresses. Right now I have to
physically disconnect my ethernet card and reset my default gateway
using linuxconf in order to connect to the ppp0 device. When I want to
switch back to the ethernet I have to again reset my default gateway and
then reboot to setup my ethernet device.
Wouldn't it be cool to be attached to both networks at the same time?

Subject: MRTG Gives funny graphs, and incorrect statistics..
Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 23:53:24 +1000
Hi,
After installing mrtg 2.8.8 (Multi Router Traffic Grapher) and cmu-snmp
3.6 for linux, the results I am getting on my website seems somewhat
strange.
My modem is connected to the net at the v.90 standard, and to test the
graphing abilities of mrtg, and proceeded to upload a file at about
3.2kb/s to an ftp server.
However, the statistics that are being generated by the mrtg and snmp
server leave me baffled:
Max In: 807.0 B/s (11.4%) Average In: 576.0 B/s (8.1%) Current In:
633.0 B/s (8.9%)
Max Out: 818.0 B/s (11.5%) Average Out: 604.0 B/s (8.5%) Current
Out: 660.0 B/s (9.3%)
>From that, it says I am recieving as much as I am sending, which is not
the case (ftp upload _only_, no downloads - traffic monitoring using
iptraf supports this), and the max should be about 3000 B/s, as indicated
by the upload speed on the ftp server.
What would be causing this misreporting?
Thanks
Ben

This doesn't really help because the default domain and name servers need
to be set. Also It doesn't allow for the host to be on the two networks at
the same time. Perhaps I need to configure my host as some sort of router.
What does gated and routed do?

I'm using Red Hat 6.0 and my SupraExpress 56i works just fine. Mine is
an ISA device, so I'm not sure how it could be a "PCI Memory Mapped
Modem" unless there are some extra features it activates under PNP. I
am not one who likes to screw around with Plug-and-Pray, so I set the
jumpers on the modem to force it out of PNP mode and make it hard wired
to COM2. I get good consistent performance in Linux and windoze.

The only time I had trouble with mine was when my ISP was having trouble
with maintaining the connection at their end, which affected everyone.

You probably should. I've picked up some good ideas by just lurking.

Subject: Re: gateway and eth0 must be in the same class c?

If the gateway has a "different" class C, then it's on a different network. A
host can only reach other hosts on it's own network (indeed, it's the network
address that tells the host whether it needs to use a gateway or not). If your
gateway is not on the local network, then your host can't talk to it: that's
why it says it's unreachable:
========== Network A ========= Network B ===========
|host A |--------------|gateway|--------------|host B |
| | Addr A | | Addr B | |
=========== ========= ===========
host A can reach Addr A, but not Addr B: gateway must forward packets to Addr B
So your gateway must have 2 addresses, and one MUST be on the SAME network as
your host. If it's not, then there must be an intermediate gateway that is.
Example: your host is 192.168.50.5. It can reach any gateway with address
192.168.50.1 -- 192.168.50.254, but not, say, 193.170.89.55, unless there's a
gateway with a 192.168.50.x address and a 193.170.89.x address. Of course, you
can have any number of intermediate gates, but there must be at least one on
your local network for it to work.
