Hi again,
You need to use the driver in the diskette or download their version of
tulip.c; I found that my problems was that the standard 0.90 driver was
shorter and shutting down my card. Since then, I recompiled the SOHOware
(NDC) drivers and the nic remained up.
When you compile the driver, just remome the "-Wall" if you get a msg
saying it was an invalid option; this depends on the version of gcc that
is on RH6.0 (I am using SuSE 6.1 now and will update this weekend).
Up and running in Linux to the internet again!!!!

Help! I ftpshut my sever and now I can't get it started again. What do I
do?
I tried running ftpd, in.ftpd with various options... as root but
nothing happens.
There is no ftpstart command that I can find on my system. It is
apparently started automatically via connetion to inetd port.
/etc/inetd.conf =
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -dvlLio -a
/etc/services =
ftp 21/tcp
I tried stop and starting /etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd stop/start but no luck.
ftp TfJC.Com
Connected to TfJC.
500 Sally FTP server shut down -- please try again later.
How the heck do I get it restarted again?

Just to add to the above, it is important (but not essential at 10MHz) to
use the proper cable - ideally CAT5.
One twisted pair should be connected to pins 1 & 2, and another to 3 & 6.
The others pairs go to 4 & 5 and 7 & 8.

You should only work as a normal user unless you need to specifically do
something as root (like add or compile system programs). You can set it
up so a normal user can manipulate ppp and other network things. If you
are logged in as the normal user and need to quickly do something as root,
just type 'su -', hit enter and enter the root password.
Maybe you are not aware of the multiple consoles in Linux. I typically
log into the first console as root and #4 as a normal user. You switch
consoles by using Alt-Function keys (Ctrl-Alt-Function from X).
By default F1-F6 are regular consoles and F7 is the first X server. So
for example if you startx on Alt-F4, and wanted to do something as root in
the first console, you simply hit Ctrl-Alt-F1. Then to return to X as the
normal user you hit Alt-F7. If you accidently hit Alt-F4 you will soon
realize your mistake and hit Alt-F7.

Have you tried looking under /usr/doc/xntp*
rdate is not related to xntp. The command to get the time from xntpd is
ntpdate. Then run 'clock -w' (or setclock in RedHat) to set the bios
clock/calendar to system time.

I'm fairly new at Linux but learning everyday.
The problem I have is that my kppd dialer in RH 6.0 seems to connect to
my ISP but i do not get any response from Netscape browser ,it just
keeps running and says "connect to www.xxxx.com" but does not bring up
the Web site. I tried to ping my ISP but nothing. I looked at "message"
file and copied & pasted the following. I have read a lot of newsgroups
and this looks like the correct one to write for an answer.

Allow me to add my input as someone who is still trying to get
into Linux. I administer 2 Cobalt Qube 2's, but the Linux on these
is papered over enough and the consequences of frying something are
dire enough for your warranty that this barely counts, so call me a
pre-newbie. These server appliances are configured with a web-based
configuration utility, but I would like to know what is going on under
the hood. (Note: a file change monitor would be very helpful for
this purpose.)
At the same time, for systems that have non-command-line means
of configuring them, the alternative configuration utility may be a
reasonable way of introducing newbies to the system. Therefore, why
not go ahead and tell them that in the Linux Cookbook, but instead of
taking an anti-command-line editorial stance, follow up each
explanation of how to do something from a GUI-based interface with a
subsection "Here is what you just did does under the hood, and here is
how you would do it from the command line." (One would need to be
careful not to introduce too much redundant text this way.) I really
wish I could find good Windows configuration documentation that had
such follow-up sections, by the way -- the Windows tutorial books that
I have seen are not very useful in this regard. (I have learned much
more on the net than from such books, although to be fair, I never
could make it through even a large fraction of one of those books due
to lack of time and due to sheer boredom at reading so much text with
such a low concentration of useful information content -- and you
thought the 'Net was bad :-P).
This way, you not only address the target audience of new
users, but you also help them get up the learning curve faster if they
can, while not scaring them away if they can't (which I assume is why
you wanted to avoid instructions about the command line as much as
possible).

Instead of making the whole thing distribution-specific, how
about giving the information common to the various distributions,
followed immediately by a table of where the relevant files can be
found in specific distributions, and then end each chapter with one or
more sections on related things that are truly distribution-specific
(features that do not exist in other distributions), if necessary.
This will allow you to target an even larger audience, with the added
bonus that it could also help new users get started with distributions
other than the Big Two/Three, thus avoiding feeding the potential
problem of the most common/best financed distributions coming to
dominate Linux entirely (with a resulting loss of quality).

Subject: "Use" on route cmd broken?
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 03:42:16 GMT
In older versions of Linux... (up until Red Hat 5.2, so I would guess
it was caused by the 2.0.x -> 2.2.x kernel transition) I liked being
able to get usage stats from the 'route' command.... for example,
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default x.x.x.x 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 26706 eth0
Whereas the same line since upgrading to Red Hat 6.0/2.2 kernel would
produce:
default x.x.x.x 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
So..Anybody know what happened to this feature? Is there any way to bring
it back?

Andre,
For the exact reason as you mention "we read from top to bottom" you put your
reply on the top and if someone needs to know what it is about he scrolls down
and pick up on the quote at the bottom. It has nothing to do with question Vs
answer. It has to do with communication. The same as cutting out the non
relevant part out of the quoted portion. Nobody claims that all the message
must be quoted again. But, to make it easier to follow the 'conversation' only
the relevant portion gets quoted.

Check the HowTo's on Redhat's site. There's one about using multiple NIC's
in Redhat. Seems that Linux finds just one on it's own. You have to add a
line in a configuration file so that it can probe for and find another NIC.
It's all in this HowTo and worked well for me. Here you go:

Subject: ip masquerade - ftp works http don't
Date: Tue, 07 Sep 1999 23:56:30 -0400
greetings,
I had ip masquerade configured on my linux box for quite a while. I have
a win95 box on which I run my ftp, irc chat, mail, news and internet
browser software. Gradually things stopped working. First IRC chat
stopped, then my browser stopped. It's weird, ftp still works fine (from
netscape or from ftp explorer) But, I get no browsing. I can ping sites
from a dos95 prompt but, I loose packets.
I don't think the win95 machine is the problem. I had a smaller hd which
I installed win95 after pulling everything out of my PC except for the
video card and the NIC card. Similar problem persisted.
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding already was "1"
I downloaded, compiled, and installed the most recent ipfwadm. I
recompiled the kernel according to the ip-masquerade howto (2.0.36). I
can't figure out what the hell is happening?
any help?
scozz
