I use dip to connect to my ISP. I always have to su
to root in order to connect because of the /usr/spool/uucp
lock file. The uucp directory is owned and grouped to uucp.
I think it is tty that is complaining about the lock file,
since dip wants to use the serial port.
Do I have some permissions messed up. What can I do?

Tom...your etc/conf.modules file doesn't look right....the alias
statement for eth1 must also specify the 'ne' module NOT an 'ne2' module.
Also, try to combine the options into one statement...try something like
this:
in /etc/conf.modules...
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x300,0x340 irq=10,11
...
Hope this helps..

Subject: Can't FTP or Telnet
Date: Sun, 05 Sep 1999 18:36:03 GMT
Hi All.
I have two machines running Linux on the same LAN, a third one runs NT.
I can't FTP nor Telnet to any of the Linux machines, from any machine (Linux
or NT).
FTP and TELNET services are configured (with inetd).
Pinging one machine from the others is possible.
FTP or Telnet on one machine to itself is possible.
When using FTP, TCP connection is ok, but the client stays waiting for the
welcome message from the server.
What step did I miss when configuring the network ?
Vincent.

Pppd uses a device file /dev/ttySx, x = appropriate for modem
to communicate with the modem through the associated serial port.
The UART type and port configured must agree with the actual UART type
for the port, and the port must be the one that the modem actually uses.
setserial /dev/ttySx shows the configuration for /dev/ttySx, and setserial
also configures the device file in a boot-up script, /etc/rc.d/rc.serial

This happens when the ISP is no longer connected or, perhaps, when PPP at
the ISP has not started. The script that directs the modem connection
to the ISP is usually the cause. With normal pppd usage this is a chat
expect/send script interpreted by chat, a program that comes with the
pppd package. I can't say what's doing the equivalent for kppp, although
it may use chat too and kppp may simply be a configuration frontend.
The log files are usually found in /var/log but the exact files are
specified in /etc/syslog.conf for various "facilities" and debug levels.
To get all the messages from pppd and chat in one file you can follow
the recipe in my signature (which is randomly generated and pure luck
that it was selected for this post). If you find that chat is used then
make sure it has the `-v' option for verbose output.
"man syslog.conf" and "man syslogd" can help to understand more about the
syslogd message logs.

: The remote system does not seem to answer to configuration requests! -
: contact your provider.
That would be a good idea if your ISP will provide the information, but
most won't unless the OS is Microsoft.

Did anyone ever come with some ideas on this one..., I recently have
been having this same trouble when I upgraded my kernel and recompiled.
I think it could be something I am not aware of when compiling the
kernel, but everthing else in rpc loads- except nfsd nfssvc: Function

I have used Linux for about 3 years, and this one has me stumped.
I recently changed to USWest.Net and my PPP script has worked fine
with all the other ISP's I have used in the past.
The problem occurs after my username and password are accepted,
I have checked the errors in /var/log/messages and here is what
happens immediatly after my password is sent and accepted:
Serial connection established.
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Hangup (SIGHUP)
Modem hangup
Exit.

recommended disabling PnP on your BIOS setup screen.

ok, i don't know if this is even possible, but here goes.
networking things i want to script:
1) because i have DHCP, my DSL router (cisco 675) changes it's IP every
few days. instead of myself telneting in and typing a bunch of stuf to
reroute the port maps, i would like to write a script that does:
telnet router
get external IP address
quit telnet
if IP address has changed
create new script
new script telnets to router
erases all port maps <- one command
creates new port maps based on new IP
quit telnet
ftp send a webpate to my ISP hosted webpage so i can know my new IP
mail me new IP as well?
else
quit
i assume this would be run by cron, which i have no experience with, but
the little i looked at the man file i think i could figure that part
out.
2) i keep a copy of my web-site locally, incase of whatnot. because i
can't ftp/telnet into my ISP unless i am at home, i would like to have a
script do:
somehow telnet/ftp to my ISP and check filesize/dates against my home
files, and upload any new files or files i have changed.
+++
ok. now if this was the wrong newsgroup, please direct me towards the
right one.
this is assuming that you can script FTP and telnet stuff.. never
tried. i've managed to find a telnet prog under win32 that i can hack
to do this, but it's such a pain, and it's under win32 as well...
os:
redhat 5.2 with all updates plus some 6 stuff. upgrading to 6 soon.

OK, I'm having my own problem. 1 dec tulip card has always worked great
with cable, so I installed a second dec tulip card for a firewall. The
tulip driver seems to have no problem, autosetting io's, irq's, etc.
But pump (which replaces dhcpcd) will not work on the new card (now
eth0) just the old one (now eth1). Run "pump -i eth1" and it should
immediately lease ip info. It works until I hit very high bandwidth
than collapses with ever increasing ping times.
If you update rpm's you use "rpm -Uvh package"
It's been awhile, but I believe the dhcp protocol overrides hostname,
etc.

I'm looking to see where the I/O and IRQ addresses are kept for Linux
Mandrake 6.0 networking.
Thanks.

Look in /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports
