When you boot the Linux do you get recognition of the ethernet
card? Check your boot logs for errors or scroll back through the
screen buffer when you first boot up and see what it says about
the hw before you try fixing sw.

I was just wondering if anyone can give me a little help understanding
this.
reading the documentation hasn't helped much.
does it just use the /etc/passwd (or /etc/shadow ) file to check it's
passwd's? or does it generate it's own passwd file based on what's in
those files?
thanks,

Despite what some of the documentation says, the module
does not accept IO parameters. It does accept irq=n,
xcvr=n and debug=n
e.g. in /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 3c509
options 3c509 irq=10 xcvr=4
I don't know about debug values, but irq is your interrupt
number, and xcvr refers to the transceiver in use
n xcvr type
0 autdetect from EEPROM
1 AUI ( DB15 connector )
2 undefined
3 10base2 ( BNC )
4 10baseT only ( RJ45 connector )

What is your routing configuration? If its slow when you telnet just
by ip, i would assume your default route is having problems.

I have two systems, one RH5.2 and the other RH6.0.
On the 5.2 box POP3 started right out of the installation and I have
not fiddled anywhere to get it going.
On my 6.0 system however the POP3 server did not start, whereas the
SMTP service (sendmail) actually is running OK.
I have read here about uncommenting the proper lines in the inetd.conf
file and I have done so. But how do I start up the service after this?
I have to do it from a Telnet login so please give me the exact
command line syntax.

Subject: HP Night Director Plus 10/100 ethernet card driver?
Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 16:33:24 -0700
Folks,
I have a HP Kayak XU PC, and this one came with a ethernet card
which
is called on HP's web site as "HP Night Director Plus 10/100".
I have RH 6.0 installed on this, and try as I might, I cannot get
any
of the hp ethernet driver modules to load. I've tried hp.o, hp100.o,
hp-plus.o.
modprobe returns with "Device busy".
It works OK on NT though, and this is the only reason I still need
to
run NT, to
connect to my workplace.
Is there a driver for this somewhere? Does anyone know if any of the
other
drivers work for this? BTW, I also tried eepro100.o, and this one
did
not work
either.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Use
path = /home/%U
in the homedirs section to share the homedir of user %U.
Problem is that this share will have a different name for each user, so it
might be hard to map...

Subject: My 100MB lan card runs at 10MB, why?
Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 21:15:00 GMT
My Linux 2.0 system autoprobes the network card and, correctly,
decides that it is an 3C905B 100MB device.
When connected to a 10/100MB hub I can surf the net to my hearts
content. However when connected to a 100MB only hub nothing works.
This leaves me to assume that the card is, in fact, running at 10MB
only.
Two questions:
1. What utility can tell me exactly at what rate the card is running?
2. How can I force it to run at 100MB?

Hi folks,
First time post from a Linux newbie - the usual caveats apply :)
I'm testing an ethernet-based IP router, and I would very much like to
find a Linux tool that would allow me to create IP packets for
transmission over the ethernet NIC. In particular, I want to manipulate
the IP header, including being able to insert bogus values therein.
Anyone heard of such tool? Anyone know a good reason it's not possible?
Such as, "there's no published interface"?
Thank you for any help.

Subject: Question on ATM on Linux
Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 23:31:06 GMT
Hi,
Some questions, can someone help?
1. Is there any licensing problem if I use "ATM on Linux" architecture
to write the ATM driver? To what extent do I have to open my
source codes to the public? My concern is that my PHY or SAR driver
code cannot be opened to the public under the restriction of
certain license agreement for this project. Is it okay that I
use "ATM on Linux" under this restriction?
2. The current release of "ATM on Linux" is based on 2.3.15. Since
my target platform is RedHat6.0(2.2.5) or above, must I upgrade
the kernel to 2.3.15 or there's workaround like copy certain
files to make "ATM on Linux" works on 2.2.5 or other production
version of Linux?
3. Is there any other common approach in addition to "ATM on Linux" that
ATM industry adopt to develop ATM drivers on Linux ?
Many Thanks,
Wayne

Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 23:39:58 GMT
Hi,
My colleague grabbed an old (well, P 200, 96 MB) computer from our old
lab and I tried to convert him from a pro-NT to a pro-Linux. SuSE 6.2
installation was a charm - only except the networking part. The machine
seems to have a 3Com Etherlink III adapter (that is what NT reported)
and I could not figure out how to set it up with YaST. It simply does
not seem to have support for this card!
I tried a 3Com 3c509/3c579 adapter first (that is what I thought the
card was before finding out the correct one from NT). Network refused
to come up. And now I just can't figure out what to do.
I am relatively new in the Linux domain and I badly need help here.
Probably I could understand a little bit of not-very-techy stuff and
please don't ask me to recompile the kernel!
TIA for any pointer.

Subject: Re: IP Masquarading & Netmeeting -> HELP
Have to agree, however it just occured to me,
You can use netmeeting if the outside user connects directly to the
linux box. We
do this all the time.
So if the linux box were on the net and you could
make a ppp connection to it (to get logged in) then
you could run netmeeting.
I thought somewhere back in the dawn of time I read of a hack that would
allow you to make a ppp connection from a winx machine without using a
dialup
connection (not needed since you would already be on the net)
If you could do that, well.... of course this is why my nickname
is "workaround Ted"

in the /sbin dir, use ifport eth0 (or whatever the if is) ..that will tell
you the speed of the interface. use ifconfig for more info

Actually this is a pppd log, not a kppp log. You show only one link
negotiation message sent by pppd and none received from the peer.
Not enough to base any reasonable diagnosis on. There should be more
from pppd and some from the kppp frontend or whatever actually dials
the connection.
You need to make sure that a decent level of debug is turned on, rerun
kppp, find all the log messages, and post exact copies complete with
timestamps.
