Hi,
I just bought a SOHOWare Fast Auto 10/100 PCI card. What driver should
I use for RH6 .0? Chipset:
1. TAIMIC - HSIP-002 Taiwan 9911
2. MX MX98715AEC M9910
Please help. Thank-you everyone.

Hi,
I am really new to linux. My slow external 2400 modem works with kppp
(really old, external anyway, my PCI 56K does not work). I can ping out, get
signal. However, Netscape does not run, tell me to setup socks something
like that. What should I do now?
Thanks.

x still needs to be between 1 and 254 inclusive.
Since the netmask for this network is 255.255.255.0 I believe you will
find that you can use 192.168.y.x with 0 <= y <= 255; however, why
bother given the choice!
We use 172.16.a.b at work (netmask 255.255.0.0) and have restricted
ourselves to 0 < a < 255.

Thanks Mist. I added the Win98 IP in /etc/hosts.allow and now it's up and
running. One interesting thing though: it only seems to work with the Win98
IP and not the FQDN or DN of the Windows machine.

Get

This incorporates an ac (Alan Cox) patch that I believe addresses a problem

Maybe someone could help me out.
I am trying to set up my cable modem with linux.
My ethernet card was detected when i installed linux. No problem there.
I set up all the information as best i could. The cable modem is detected.
When I ping my primary dns it returns 56 bytes. But then nothing else.
Any suggestions?
I start the browser and I have put in the proxy http://proxy:8080
which is what is required for my cable modem. I type in www.yahoo.com into
URL address. It begins searching but never finds anything.
Anyone seen stuff like this?

Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1999 00:34:47 -0400
Hi,
I am new to Linux. The modem works fine under Windows 95 (com3), and nt
which has to be on com4 (I have to change modem from 1st or 2nd PCI under 95
to 3rd or 4th pci slots under nt, they do not work at the same time. In
fact, I have 95, nt and linux at the same HDD, now the modem only works for
NT at 4th PCI slot on the ABIT BH6 MB).
Under Linux, however, kppp keeps telling me "modem is busy", at ttyS3. I
also tried other ports, did not work. The IO address is 0x400, not a crazy
number, so I hope I can make it work. With setserial /dev/ttyS3 -a, I got
uart unknown.
Is the modem "bad" or anything else I can do?
Thanks.

Hi all
I'm new to NFS (actually I just set it up the first time today). I found
a strange prob.: everytime after I create some files in a NFS-mounted
dir on a NFS client box, 'ls' didn't show an updated list of files in
the dir. I've tried shutting down both NFS server and client and restart
them, but the problem remains. Here are my /etc/exports on server and
/etc/fstab on client:
---
* andante:/etc/exports
/data0 legarto(rw,no_root_squash)
/data1 legarto(rw,no_root_squash)

Could it be because the time on two machines aren't sync?

It's a "DEC clone" by Matrox; YES, you can use the Tulip

I've tried these two options, but the problem is not solved. The PC motherboard
is Intel Livermore (LM440LX) with integrated serial ports. Should I try with
external IO card?
As I remember, a year ago, I tried to connect PC and notebook with direct PPP
connection and the problem was the same, but I was thinking that I made a bad
cable.

You may find that you have the HOWTOs on your local disk also, possibly in
/usr/doc. But the ones on the web are going to be the most up to date.
You can find out if you have them on your local disk by using (as root)
find / -name HOWTO -print
Note that the filename is case sensitive.

To add to this, you can use any available DNS Server for lookups.
Your system will only look at those set up in your resolv.conf file.
You would normally point this to the primary and secondary DNS
Servers at your ISP. Are you sure resolv.conf isn't corrupt?
IF you are not sure what they should be then your ISP should be
able to tell you. Failing that you could try the one I use
195.40.1.36 which is in England.

The list Barry gave (which can also be found by starting at
www.iana.org -- IANA is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority,
if anyone needs help remembering this address -- and following a
couple of obvious links) should reference the relevant RFC for each
port number that is reserved by an RFC. This means that the list
is also a good reference for finding out the appropriate RFCs.
For other ports in this list, there is often an email address given
of a contact at the organization that originally requested a port
assignment for the protocol, but I suspect that some of these email
addresses have grown a bit out of date.

Thanks a bunch Clifford! I took your recommendations and got it to work
flawlessly. I'm using Red Hat 6.0 and for those wanting to know how I set
it up, continue reading. Using 'linuxconf' to setup your ppp/slip/cslip
interfaces (I'm assuming you have a working connection already), I left the
local address field empty and put a number such as 192.168.0.2 in the remote
address field. Then I put in the PPP options field these options:
'ipcp-accept-remote demand idle 300'. The 'ipcp-accept-remote' option will
let the address your isp assigns replace the 192.168.0.2 value. The
'demand' option dials the connection when needed and the 'idle 300' tells
pppd to disconnect if the interface is idle for 300 seconds (5 minutes,
change as you see fit). Also, set the option to activate interface at boot
time, if you want it ready whenever you need it (otherwise it can be started
using 'ifup ppp0'). Hope this helps anybody else with this
question/problem.

Further to what Matt has said I know for certain that you must have a cable
with
pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 connected. The rest do not matter if it is a 10 MHz link
What does matter is the cross-over
If you do not know ( and many suppliers don't )
for just 2 PC's and no hub the cable should be
end A end B
1 --- 3
2 --- 6
3 --- 1
6 --- 2
This is the way it will work

I have a similar issue, I have been able to get ip forwarding from my
wintel machines out of the linux box, but I cannot seem to get the reverse
direction working. I want to forward port 80 traffic to my nt4 box running
iis. I need this for the same reason stated, a lot of VB scripting and ASP
pages. I have not had good success with linux ASP emulators connecting to
different databases, this is where (unfortunately) I have to rely on wintel.
HELP... the routing and ipfwadm howto's have not been much help. In fact, I
think most of the firewall sections need to be re-written, these do not seem
to work my box (RH5.2).

I believe that since version 2.3.5 pppd has its own dial on demand
so it doesn't need diald which sometimes has problems dropping
the modem.
Try man pppd
