This is a bit of a stab in the dark, but are the other machines having an
/etc/hosts entry?? I have experienced delays in telnet connections without
one. (Of course I have a DNS now!!)

For what? Every card /IO device has its own.
I/O and irq for serial ports is set using setserial, and may be done in
/etc/rc.d/rc.serial or rc.local 
Or it could be set in /etc/isapnp. Or in the drivers for the particualr
cards you are interested in.
If you want to know what the irqs are then do
cat /proc/interrupts

you need to switch on proper debugging
Also I suspect that your new ISP doew not want you to log on, but rather
to use pap or chap.
Get and follow
axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
to figure out exactly what your ISP wants and how to give it to them.

This behaviour would correlate with a boot-up script that resets something
that is subsequently changed when the PPP connection is done.

One thing that comes to mind is the configuration of the device file
which could be checked immediately after reboot, and then checked again
after the next PPP connection for comparison.  It seems unlikely that PPP
scripts would change the device file configuration, but not impossible.

Another thing is the internal modem profile settings, one or more of
which might be reset in the PPP scripts at the end of a connection to
values that differ from the defaults that result from a reboot.

James is right, this is strange behavior and the symptoms you described
are characteristic of a faulty VJ and/or IPCP implementation in PPP on
one end or the other of the connection.  But I can't see that this would
explain why a reboot makes things right again for one connection.

Nope.  I believe this is a RH thing and one way to get rid of the messages
is to add these lines to /etc/conf.modules

alias ppp-compress-21 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-24 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-26 bsd_comp

FYI I'm running Linux 2.2.9 and pppd 2.3.9 using a 486 without problems.

Well, alot of factors make PPD simply require root access. Depending
on which distro and how your security is configured, its safest to
leave it with root only access.

I asome that all worked befor you put the other Ethernet card in the

I use slackware 3.4 kernell 2.2.2 and that can be fun as the kernell has
auto routting have a look at your routting table "route -n" make shore that
there are no refinces to the phicale address of the network board you tacken

I would on my system also start at /etc/rc.d/net1.rc and /etc/rc.d/net2.rc

If so then keep looking round the ethernet config in the meachin that you

Hi,

The kernel detects only one NIC by default. You have to tell her what
and where the
other NIC is. Or actually in the case of two NICs you have to tell her
both of them.

For me, since they are compiled as modules, they are specified in
/etc/conf.modules:

alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x300

If you compile them right into the kernel then use the "append" feature
for lilo.

the Ethernet HOWTO is your friend.

If you mean through a serial port (null modem) cable, then "kermit"

Subject: HELP: NFS Server over Router to other Subnet
Date: 5 Sep 1999 23:23:00 GMT


Hello 

I have two subnets connected by a router, all systems running Debian
Linux (also the router). 


   NFS-Server -------------- Router -------------------Client
   (Subnet 1)                                          (Subnet 2)


All systems on subnet 1 can access to the NFS-Server without problems,
but the Clients on subnet 2 cannot: "rpc timeout". 

The ping command tells me that the router operates normally, there is 
indeed a working connection between the two subnets.

I tried several entries in hosts.allow, exports but with no success.
Here are some details:

NFS Server:
===========
/etc/exports:
                /cdrom (ro,insecure,all_squash)

/etc/hosts.allow:
                portmap: ALL

/etc/hosts.deny:
                <leer>


Router: (not important to mention I guess because he only forwards 
=======                            ALL packets without examination)        
                                           
/etc/hosts.allow:
                rpc.ugidd: 192.168.47.5

/etc/hosts.deny:
                <leer>

Can you help me?
Thank you very much

I'm not positive but I would think it might be a Masquerading
problem more than a diald problem.

On the startup of my Linux machine, in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, I
have:

=============================================
# Start IP Masquerading
echo "Starting IP Masquerading..."
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc
#
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.100.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
=============================================

I am using diald 0.16.5.  There may be problems with later
versions of diald that may cause your problem.  I believe
there are two or three later versions than the one you have.
It might be worthwhile to find the diald homepage and see
if there have been any reports of problems like yours.

It might be a DNS problem also.

I don't know about your first problem.

For your second problem, Netscape running on UniX systems outputs
in Postscript.  Unless your printer is a Postscript printer, you
will need to look into adding Ghostscript to your system.

Ghostscript converts Postscript to different printer languages so
the printer can then print Postscript.  You will need to set up
a print filter to do this.

I am not familiar with Redhat but the Printing How-To should cover
this in some detail.  Redhat may have some tool to do it for you.

Subject: DNEWS 5 News Server Mthly Pointer to FAQ
Date: Sun, 05 Sep 1999 23:16:22 GMT


This message is a brief description of the DNEWS V5  News Server
features and a pointer to the FAQ and binary areas.

DNEWS is a high performance NNTP News Server. It is suitable 
for large and small ISP's and Corporate Intranets. DNEWS is 
available for all common operating systems, is easy and quick to
install
and is designed to run unattended. 

Design :

Database : DNEWS incorporates an advanced database specifically 
        designed for News, enabling DNEWS to handle full news feeds 
        significantly more efficiently and faster than other news       
        server software. 
        This is important as news volumes continue to grow rapidly. 
        It also enables DNEWS to provide significant performance 
        improvements particularly where resources are limited.

   Dynamic Sucking Feed Option: In addition to the traditional news 
        feed options DNEWS provides the unique Dynamic Sucking Feed     
        option. The Dynamic News Feed is the ideal solution for
corporates and  
        smaller ISP's having important advantages over  
        traditional full or partial news feed technologies. 

        The Dynamic Feed delivers enormous savings
        in Network bandwidth and diskspace compared to taking a full
news    
        feed but retains for the user all the advantages of the full
feed.
        Performance is significantly enhanced as the high redundancy
        of the full feed is automatically eliminated. The  Dynamic
Sucking 
        Feed Software is extremely efficient.

        By dynamically reflecting users changing reading habits the     
        server is automatically getting and maintaining only those
news             
        groups that users are actively reading. In this way  users      
        retains all the choice provided with a full news feed  while    
        enormous saving in network bandwidth and diskspace are
        achieved.
        The process is completely automatic so there is no      
        ongoing administration.

News Reader Efficiency: The advanced design significantly improves 
        news server efficiency. On similar Hardware DNEWS will 
        typically support 2 times as many news readers per server 
        with the same fast interactive response time.

Scalability: Designed for high scalability DNEWS is limited only by     
        your hardware constraints. Handles over 500 Gig news spools     
        efficiently. Can be configured with 2-10 Multiple Server        
        processes on single server each handling 50-200 concurrent      
        users. 
        DNEWS can be configured to take multiple full news feeds 
        and up to 16 dynamic suck feeds and can efficiently send 
        multiple full feeds with built-in Live feed technology. 
        DNews advanced dfeeds module allows DNEWS to be positioned 
        as a news router.

Easy Installation and Management: Designed to run unattended.
        DNEWS is very easy and quick to install with virtually no       
        ongoing management.

Key Features:

Easy Installation - totally configurable without recompiling.
Low Maintenance - designed to run unattended.
Support for Multiple IHAVE Feeds
Support for Multiple Dynamic Suck Feeds
Built in Live Feeds Technology for sending full news feeds to other     
       servers with the efficiency of a news router.
News to Web Gateway , for putting news onto web pages ,  with full 
       text searching .
New to Mail  Gateways (both ways)
PGP authentication (optional)

Subject: [SuSE-6.2] wvdial and kppp flaw
Date: Sun, 05 Sep 1999 19:13:59 -0400

Hi,

I just upgraded to SuSE-6.2 and found some flaw in wvdial as well as
KPPP.  The wvdial terminates right after the ppp connection is
established.  I am wondering if this is a bug.

On the other hand, I can't use any X application once the kppp has
established the connection.  I tried to execute the "kmail" after the
kppp has established the connection and I got the following message:

        Xlib: connection to "localhost:0.0" refused by server
        Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
        kmail: cannot connect to X server
localhost:0                                   

Why these all things happened with new installation?

Try tweaking the quake 2 modual, I did this for diablo
while u r connected to a halflife game telnet into your server and 
get status from ipcahins by doing

ipcahins -M -L

Take the TCP and UDP ports and write them down, now add those ports to
the quake modual line

Its a nifty mod man very cool!
