Subject: ISA NIC Card in RedHat6
Date: Sun, 05 Sep 1999 04:32:39 GMT
Hi All,
I recently installed Linux RedHat 6, and I'm having some trouble getting one
of my NIC cards to work. During setup, RH detected and set up the PCI NIC
that my internet connection runs off of, but didn't detect my ISA nic for my
LAN. I've tried turning PnP on and off to no avail. I'm a real newbie here,
so if someone could post instructions as to how to setup Linux to see/use my
ISA card, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
CyberBry

If you just want to use the DOS box as a terminal, all you need is any
communications program and a null modem cable to connect serial ports (and
a getty listening on the serial port of the Linux box). Although, an old
DOS box with 8250 UART serial ports may not be able to reliably handle
faster than 9600 baud. That would work for a modem connection too with
something like mgetty running on the Linux box.
However, I am not very familiar with DOS networking or ppp. There is a
Win32 tcp/ip stack for Win 3.11 (for workgroups) on ftp.microsoft.com.
And I used to use the old Trumpet Winsock for Win 3.x ppp.
You might do a web search for a SimTel mirror and look around the DOS
programs available there. I used to use the old ProComm in DOS.

Unless someone steps on your IP by hard coding it, that should not happen.
The only time you would get a new IP is if your machine has been offline
for a period of time (usually a matter of days) and your DHCP lease has
expired. Although, I think Linux releases its lease when it shuts down.
At any rate, it should never change while your machine is up and running.

The only time you would need to check your IP is when you boot. And I
think dhcpcd has some hooks in it to tell what your IP is.
Of course if your DHCP server goes down for a period of time and leases
expire, then your networking is kaput. Our DHCP server is a Netware NT
server across a WAN, and between frame relay failures and Netware
failures, I hard coded all the IP's on our subnet so we can still use our
factory's Linux mail server when Netware goes down (which we don't use).

Christopher,
What happens when you do a traceroute to the other machine? I see you have
your modem active during this. I'm curious/suspicious of the netmask of
2555.255.255.255 on it. I don't have a modem myself, so I don't know if
that is correct or not. One thing I've found helpful when looking at
problems like this, where it works under Windows, but not Linux, is to print
off the IP configuration from Windows, and do a 'route print' under Windows,
and then compare that to the ifconfig and route output under Linux. Also
take a look at what IRQ Windows is assigning the NIC. I see it is '10'
under Linux, but you might want to check to make sure nothing else is using
10 also. I've seen a LOT of weird ethernet problems crop up because of that
lately.
To send me email, replace 'nospam' with 'home'.

RH does not do any autodetection of ISA devices, since it is very
dangerous and can lock up the system. Turning off PnP very little
actually. If you have PnP on, use the isapnp utilities to configure
your card. Or if you have PnP off, you can use /etc/conf.modules to
set options for the proper module your loading (assuming it is a module).

Hi,
Ever since setting up IP Masquerading, my mail downloads have been
extremely slow. Tcpdump indicates that email is coming in in very small
packets, clearly the cause of the problem. As an example:

<nop,nop,timestamp 852012 1081754>
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could cause this problem? Is there
any way I could increase the size of my email packets? FTP, WWW, and
other services all work fine.
Any help would be appreciated, since Verio (my ISP) does not care to
support linux users.

This may be obvious to someone - but it sure has me stumped.
I just installed Caldera 2.2 and enabled SAMBA. Shortly therafter, I noted
that I had an IP Address with another hots on my network ... so no problem,
right? I opened up COAS and changed my IP address. For some reason SAMBA
will only accept requests to the OLD address, which certainly weirds out my
network! Is this common? What can I do to fix?

No single place. For well-known protocols there are usually RFC's that
describe them, so check the RFC index. For other applications, you'll have
to do some searching.

Er, wasn't he refering to the third octet, not the fourth?
So assign anything from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.254.x, avoid 192.168.0.x
because all 0's can cause problems sometimes - AFAIK.

The modem in the photo has a Rockwell RLVDL56DPF/SP R6785-61 chip.
This is makes this a HCF/SP (controllerless) modem. Here is Rockwell's
description of HCF:
http://www.conexant.com/products/modems/v90/hcf_soft56/default.asp#7
The link on the same page is for the ISA modem drivers, not the
SupraExpress 56i Pro. The ISA modems use the Rockwell ACF chipsets, for
example Rockwell RCV56DLACF/SP R6761-21. The ACF modems are full hardware
modems.
The Diamond Multimedia page for this modem is:
http://www.diamondmm.de/diamondde/eng/products/comm/56ipro2.htm
To summarize:
* The SupraExpress 56i Pro (PCI) modem is a controllerless modem
* The modem in the big photo is a controllerless modem
* The system requirements on the centrohl.it page do not agree
with the system requirements on Diamond's page
* The drivers on the centrohl.it page are not for the 56i Pro
modem.
Good luck in your shopping!

This is redundant as both the source and destination are on the same
subnet and therefore don't require routing. If your box is actually
forwarding these packets then you are simply echoing what has already been
