Likely DNS timeout. Linux is paranoid and does a reverse lookup of
anything connecting to it. Try putting names for other IP's in
/etc/hosts. Also check /etc/host.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to see if they
might be blocking. Anything other than the Linux box itself is not LOCAL.

Subject: FTP transfer speed
Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 00:31:09 GMT
Hi,
I have a "home network" consisting of a laptop and a pc, both running SuSE
6.2. I have them connected with CAT 5 x-over cable and am using a Xircom
10/100+56K PCMCIA card in the laptop and a Realtek 8139 card in the PC. I
have set up IP addresses for each machine and have no trouble pinging one
machine from the other.
Now, here's my problem. I have a LARGE file on the pc ( ~ 61MB) and I want
to transfer it to the laptop. I can FTP to the PC and start the transfer,
but after a random amount of data has been transfered, the link slows down
and eventually hangs. I have gotten anything from 1.5MB to 31MB before this
happens, at rates varying from 27K/s to over 200k/s.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Mike

Usually /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
There also may be a mininum connect time in /etc/diald.conf. I get
charged per phone call, not per minute, so I have mine set for 15 minutes:
accept any 900 any
Time beyond that is extended by the standard.filter settings. If I want
to remain online, I send a 'force' command through diald's pipe
(/etc/diald/diald.ctl) and 'unforce' when finished.
Note: I am not running DNS or Win machines that would trigger it.

Folks--
I finally got both network cards to work under Linux... but now my question
is this--
how do I get the proper port <ie- the RJ45 and not the BNC, to come up under
Linux?? All it wants to see on one of them is the BNC, although it sees the
RJ on the other one.
While we're at it-- how do I get that to happen under NT? <I'm running a
dual-boot here>
Thanks in advance!

Subject: RH5.2 server to Win98 client?
Date: 5 Sep 1999 19:25:02 -0500
I wouldn't dream of asking such a general question as HOW?!? So I
will ask a specific question. Can someone direct me to literature
(HOW-TOs are fine, but supplimental print might fill in some blanks)
to help me put together a RH 5.2 based server with 1 Win98 client? I
wish to have the Linux box control internet connection, and have some
files shared. The Windows box must be able to use Netscape (which
something like Junkbuster would probably take care of), ICQ, fax
programs like QuickLink, and utilities like Net2Phone. I'd like it to
be able to dial on demand, but that may not be an issue if I get a DSL
line.
Thanks

Just another cry for help.
I have two computers. PC1 runs Win95 (950.C) & PC2 runs Red Hat 6.0. I am
trying to setup small local network with Linux being a file /printer server.
Up to now I was able to ping SAMBA server from Win95 client
ping 192.168.20.2, however when I tried to ping using servers name
ping wild.fredy.com stupid Win95 is trying to dial out to internet provider
(PC1 has a modem and a network card)!
Pinging from Linux is ok both with domain name and IP address!
nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*' finds Win95 client
192.168.20.9 *<00>
I am also able to login into Samba server on Linux PC
I have modified lmhosts.sam file in c:\windows to reflect the server name
(192.168.20.2 wild.fredy.com #PRE)
I have also set all the networking parameters in the Network setup windows
in Win 95: IP address 192.168.20.9, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, WINS
192.168.20.2 and etc

Your ISP comes into play in at least two areas:
a) You will neet a static IP address (this usually costs you a per-month
charge from your ISP).
b) You will need a DNS entry for your site. Your ISP may or may not
provide this when you get your static IP address.
On the other hand, most ISPs provide you with a Web site (typically
http://www.<your isp>.com/~<your account name>) and several MB of
storage as part of your monthly subscription. In that case, you can use
your Apache setup to debug your web pages then download them to your ISP
(usually via FTP).

I have a PC with both Windows 98 and Redhat Linux on it. I am
planning to get Bell Atlantic ADSL with Bell Atlantic.net as ISP.
I will have Bell Atlantic install their stuff using Windows 98.
But I will do almost all my Internet stuff from Linux. Will I
have a "direct connection" to the Internet? Do I need to set up a
firewall and other security mechanisms? If so, which?
Note: I live in northern Virginia.

No, that's the way it should work since you don't want just anyone
accessing the serial port. I would use sudo and create an alias like

PC2..There are two ways to set the 'transceiver' type on 3c509 combo cards:
The first way sets the EEPROM on the NIC card, and should be good for any
OS.
The second is a Linux driver option.
(1.) Use the DOS configuration program on the floppy disk that came with the
card.
It will contain a program called 3c5x9cfg.exe. If you run this it will let
you configure various things on your network card. If your card has more
than one interface, it should let you pick which one you want to use, (AUI,
TP, etc.) If you don't have the diskette, download this:
ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/3c509/3c509n2.exe
(2) You can pass parameters to the linux 3c509 driver by placing something
like this in the
/etc/conf.modules file.
alias eth0 3c509
options 3c509 xcvr=4 irq=10
(this sets xcvr=4 which is the RJ45 connector)
Available Transceiver Types
The available transceiver types are
0 default from EEPROM, normally 10baseT
1 AUI (DB15 connector)
2 undefined
3 10base2 (BNC)
4 10baseT only (RJ45 connector)
This is link to Don Beckers 3c509 linux driver page:

Date: Sun, 05 Sep 1999 21:48:37 -0400
I've got 3 boxes in my house that I'm trying to get networked - but I'm
having some trouble with NFS. I've read the NFS HOWTO.
My main machine (calvin - 192.168.1.1) seems unhappy. I can rlogin into
it from the other two machines just fine. The other two machines can
cross mount themselves fine too. But calvin just won't play NFS.
I ran rpcinfo -p, and it gave me the error documented in the HOWTO:
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Network is
unreachable
But the HOWTO simply advised that I fix it. Not much help there. Then
I tried to get calvin to ping himself - that is, while logged in on
calvin, I typed "ping calvin" - and here's what I got (the root of the
problem?)
[jthomas@calvin jthomas]$ ping calvin
PING calvin (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No buffer space available
ping: wrote calvin 64 chars, ret=-1
calvin is well able to ping everyone else on the network. I have also
noted that when calvin boots, he reports:
neighbour table overflow
Is that related? What have I done wrong? How do I fix it?
