Subject: Slow boot when using DHCP client
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 21:00:24 GMT
Got 3 pc's and a laptop on a home network, decided to use the dhcpd to
make using the laptop easier between home and work. It works like a
charm on the Win 9X machines and even the laptop while booted to 95,
however when I boot the laptop to Linux it takes forever initializing
the eth0 device, smb and nmb.
The dhcpd gets it the right info (verified with IFCONFIG). I have the
dhcpd running on the main box and ipchains on it also, that way I can
dial-in and use any of the other machines to cruise the net. This may
be one of the problems as I have set the DNS numbers that dhcp forwards
to clients to those of my dialin account. Win 95 doesn't seem to care
as long as I don't use any IP stuff like Netscape before dialing in. Is
this confusing the Linux laptop by proviiding DNS entries that aren't
accessable? The laptop boots slow even while dialed with the main box.
Changing the laptop to hard numbers makes the boot time normal.
Strangly, it runs the dhcp client just fine at work over the big lan
that IS connected to the DNS servers, boot time is normal.
Any thoughts?

I quote from Ethernet-HOWTO
7. Software Configuration and Card Diagnostics
In most cases, if the configuration is done by software, and stored in an
EEPROM, you will usually have to boot DOS, and use the vendor supplied DOS
program to set the cards IRQ, I/O, mem_addr and whatnot. Besides, hopefully
it is something you will only be setting once. If you don't have the DOS
software for your card, try looking on the WWW site of your card
manufacturer. If you don't know the site name, take a guess at it, i.e.
`www.my_vendor.com' where `my_vendor' is the name of your card manufacturer.
This works for SMC, 3Com, and many many other manufacturers.
There are some cards for which Linux versions of the config utils exist, and
they are listed here. Donald has written a few small card diagnostic
programs that run under Linux. Most of these are a result of debugging tools
that he has created while writing the various drivers. Don't expect fancy
menu-driven interfaces. You will have to read the source code to use most of
these. Even if your particular card doesn't have a corresponding diagnostic,
you can still get some information just by typing cat /proc/net/dev --
assuming that your card was at least detected at boot.
In either case, you will have to run most of these programs as root (to
allow I/O to the ports) and you probably want to shut down the ethercard
before doing so by typing ifconfig eth0 down first.

Subject: Cisco 605 Drivers??
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 14:46:43 -0600
Greetings,
I have recently upgraded from regular modem access for my ISP, to ADSL
running the US West setup with an internal PCI slot ADSL modem. It is a
Cisco model 605.
I have read recently that the only way to get ADSL connection is to have an
**external** Cisco model 675 modem instead; the reason being that there is
no driver for the internal model.
My question is; will there ever at some point actually be a driver for this
modem, and where would I go to look? I have looked at every Linux (and
other for that manner) driver site, and have found not one hopeful clue.
I really would like to make this work on the linux side of the equation,
instead of jumping over to windows every time I need to surf somewhere or
download a file of any size.
Contact me either here on this site, or alternatively, you can email me at :

Subject: Newbie on clustering questions
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 16:17:40 -0700
Hi,
I am fairly new to the networking aspect of linux, so please excuse me
if this is in a FAQ somewhere. Here it goes:
I am thinking of setting up a computer network that's based on
clustering. The rational goes like this - I have several PC's around
that I want to put Linux on. Linux is great for networking, but now I
have several stand-alone networking computers sitting around, and it
becomes a headache for maintenance. I realize that there are a lot of
sync I can do, but then it's difficult for my users to remember all
these different accounts and what files they have under where...
Moreover, my company mostly buy a computer for each individuals, so it
makes a lot of sense to let the users have their own account on their
own computer, but then the computer can login as a part of the big
cluster.
So this is what I am envisioning -
This cluster has a master computer that's in control of the cluster. It
provides most of the system wide files such as the /usr & /etc
directory. Each computer joining the cluster as a slave computer &
depending on its settings it can provide other parts of the file
system. For example the user's computer would provide the user's home
directory. This way while the user's computer is inside the cluster
they can login from any computers.
During clustering, the master computer will gain control to the
resources of the slaves. Depending on the setting it would be a
complete or partial control (by partial I mean there are parts of the
resources reserved to be used solely by the user of the computer). The
slave computer can act as a stand-alone workstation as well, but during
clustering it only shares part of the file system (and the other parts
went into background & ready for sync if setup). If necessary we can
have another computer act as a backup (high availability) for the user's
directory so they can login to the network even if their computer is not
on the network.
The advantage of this type of setup I see is that there is an
integration of every computer & the resources become truly shared. No
longer would admins need to worry about maintaining the files on every
computer. The network becomes transparent to them. Let's say an user
has a linux laptop. Then when they partipate into the clustering, they
will see everything else. When the do not participate their computer
would be stand-alone as well. Moreover, we wouldn't have the feeling
that the client computers are overpowering the servers :)
So, my question then would be, is there anything similar to what I am
describing available? Is this a smart way of setting things up or are
there better solutions out there? How much energy and expertise would
it require for a setup like this and is it currently feasible? Any
thought on this subject matter is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Yin-So Chen

We have been using NFS+NIS for a while, and it has been two months
since I updated to 2.2.5-22smp kernel. I don't know what went wrong
this past weekend, but now the machine running the NIS server is very

Hi,
I setted up my linux box like a server with netatalk and my 3 Macs can see
the server in the menu.
The problems are that when i try to set the linux box like server for the
Mac from the Mac I receive a message like "..unnable to locate the server"
(but i can see it from the machine)
And another problem is that I can make pings on the Macs from linux and when
I fire netatalk it seems to work well (I receive the message of confirm for
the start) but after a minute I receive 2 messages like "unnable to register
@workstation....afpd not start)
I suppose that I have to make a folder owned by the netatalk users ( like I
did with SAMBA clients for windows) but i didn't understand where should I
register the clients (i saw the config file but i didn't undrestand it)
Do you know what's wrong??
Thanx.

Yes. AOL opened up a text protocol called toc (Talk to OsCar). This was
used by the AIM clones, and AIM didn't have any problems with that. Then
MS reverse engineerd (AFAIK) the oscar protocol (binary), and implemented that
in their Microsoft Instant messanger. AOL didn't like the fact that a) they
reverse engineerd their product b) they where making money with ads in the
app whilst using AOL servers c) they where microsoft.
they then said their problem was that by asking users for their AOL password,
microsoft was causing a problem because AOL says you should never give your
password to anything but the aol client. (Come on, they must have been
able to think of a better excuse...).

hi
samba is really easy to use. although it's mostly used to make a linux box
into a fileserver for windows clients, it does also allow you to access
windows shares. youll need to use a program called smbclient (which is part
of the samba package). i'm not sure exactly how to do this cause i'm using
samba as a server, although if you type 'man smbclient' into the console, it
will display the man page for the program. hopefully it will tell you all
you need in there...
hope this helps,

I have recently regressed back to some older hardware. I had a masqued
system set up and working well. When I changed to an older motherboard
it has been having problems finding both nic's. Actually it is having
problems differentiating between the two. I know that the problem is
that both nic's are identical and /proc/interrupts lists eth0, eth1 as
having the same irq "11". I am stumped as how to change the configs to
reflect the two different nic's. I know that /etc/conf.modules lists an
alias for eth0. So naturally I tried to simply add an entry for eth1.
Boy it didn't like that. What I have decided to do is to start over and
do a reinstall. Getting IP-Masquerading to work is not hard.
But before I try to reinstall I am looking for some docs/literature.
So far I have net-2 & 3 Howto's. Also some info on installing two nic's
on a linux box. I have some colleagues giving assistance as well. Can
anyone give any info/experiences pertaining to this issue?

You NICs are probably set for "plug and play" and you new motherboard is not
capable of supporting this. You probably need to configure your NICs for
manual mode with discreet IO and IRQ values.
The tricky part is finding the program from the manufacturer that lets you
manually configure the NIC cards. It should have come on a diskette with
the NIC cards and it will be in a subdirectory like setup or config. If you
no longer have the diskette you may be able to get a copy at the
manufacturer's web site. Also keep in mind that these setup programs are
usually DOS based.
I have 2 ISA NE-2000 compatibles running this way in a 486 DX2-80. I have
the IO Addresses set to 0x300 and 0x320 and IRQs set to 10 and 11. Another
tricky part to watch out for is configuring them in linuxconf when both NICs
are the same type configured manually (i.e. not "plug and play"). When it
comes time to specifying the IO Addresses for eth0, enter 0x300,0x320. Do
the same thing for eth1. If the driver cannot determine the configured IRQ
by knowing the IO address, then follow a similar procedure when specifying
the IRQ for eth0 and eth1, i.e. enter 10,11. (Obviously change the specific
values as appropriate for your cards).
This will save you lots of aggrivation!
Good luck.

Bill Colvin
