Hi
I'm having problems configuring a Digital Equipment network adapter card
with a DC DEC21041 chipset on RedHat Linux 6.0. The PC is an Intel based
Digital 3000 Pentium II 266MHz.
During installation of Linux I choose the option to configure a LAN, I
assign the card an IP number etc, it detects the card and says it will
assign the card the TULIP driver. So far so good.
Although once Linux is up and running I have no success configuring the
card, the following happens;
1) I use the ifconfig command but eth0 is not mentioned.
2) I try configuring the card (even though installation detected it and
gave it a driver)
with ifconfig [options] and it says "resource temporarily unavailable".
3) tried eth0 up, but get message "resource temporarily unavailable".
4) /proc/pci shows up the card.
5) I went into /etc/conf.modules and changed to the de4x5 driver (also
supposed to be compatible) with no success.
6) tried while card had cable plugged in and without the cable.
I have a feeling there is something wrong with the TULIP driver, as my
NIC with a RealTek RTL8029(AS) chipset works fine with the ne2k-pci
driver on RedHat Linux 6.0.
If anyone knows how to fix this it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

TCP (Transport Control Protocol) is a protocol used with IP (Internet
Protocol) to provide end-to-end connections, with flow control and such
like. UDP is a connectionless protocol used amongst other things for
DNS and to establish links. SYN bits are used for various things, such

If you *only* wanted 192.168.1.y to have access and you have a policy of
accept, then the rule
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j DENY -s ! 192.168.1.y -d 192.168.1.1 23 -p
tcp
should do it, I think. (All as one line). That would deny any
connections to the telnet port from anywhere other than 192.168.1.y.
If your default policy is not accept, then you might need more rules,
one to accept connections from various IPs to the server and another
to deny the rest. (The first rule added would have priority.)
And set up hosts.deny and hosts.allow, too.

"General consensus" is wrong then. It does work and is in
fact pretty much the only way you are going to be able to
control things if you want systems to be able to resolve
external names. But you have to be able to get the configs
right *for your circumstances*.

Subject: wwwoffle - broken pipe?
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 11:11:17 +0200
Hi!
I've got a problem with the www proxy wwwoffle. I've bought a
brand new PCI isdn card and successfully established a link to my
ISP... I've used wwwoffle with my analog modem with no problems,
but with isdn I'm getting strange error messages from wwwoffle;
something like wwwoffles[2..]: error writing to client [broken pipe]
I had netscape 4.61 running and configured it to use wwwoffle and
certain web pages did not load. In /var/log/messages the wwwoffle deamon
produced that output... I changed my configuration so that netscape uses
the proxy of my ISP directly: no problems...
Might it have something to do with my rather slow response times?
(ping says that the packages needed an average of about 50 ms,
which seems rather slow to me...)
I 'solved' my problem by configuring netscape to use the proxy of
my ISP but I would like to use wwwoffle in the future, so has anybody
an idea what's wrong?
Thanks in advance
Johannes

Subject: HELP! How to login and activate DSL????
Date: 10 Sep 1999 09:41:12 GMT
Hello,
I've got DSL through US West, both the line and as my internet provider.
Because my area is new to DSL, I was only able to sign up for something
called the "select" program, meaning that I have to use Cisco Commander to
login to my provider, which then gives me net access for 2 hours. After 2
hours expire, I must reconnect if I wish to get back on the internet.
Everything works well under Windows. Now I'd like to use Linux.
Unfortunately there isn't a Linux version of Cisco Commander...
Does anyone know of a way that I can login to US West under Linux? If I
login via Windows and reboot to Linux, everything works fine for 2 hours,
then I must reboot to windows, login again, then go back to linux. This is
tedious and not a desirable solution because of the 2hr DSL time limit until
I must login again.
Inside my machine is a 3com 3C905 ethernet card. This plugs into my
external Cisco 675 router.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Henry

Subject: SGI with Linux server
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 12:42:57 +0200
Hi,
I have a LAN of 8 SGIs (Indy, O2, Octane, Onyx RE2) and I'm trying to
set up a disk server with an intel box running RedHat Linux 6.0 with
kernel 2.2.5-22. The intel box also have a second network interface that
leads to a mainly PC LAN with very small traffic.
When the SGIs don't do large and constant access to the server,
everything works fine. But at some point (which I haven't discovered
yet) all network traffic stops. This happens usually under heavy load,
when several users simultaneously request file from the server, but
sometimes for no apparent reasons.
The only messages on the SGIs are
NFS2 read failed for server dupont: Timed out
or
NFS2 write failed for server dupont: Timed out
The only peculiar message given by dmesg on the linux box is
eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82.
I tried using NFS3 instead, using async NFS, I checked all cables,
plugs, other machines, patches, etc., but I couldn't find anything that
made it work correctly.
For all I know, it could be a problem with the SCSI cards inside the PC
but the only symptoms are related to network.
If anybody as an idea, or if someone has a configuration similar, i
would be happy to hear any suggestion.
Thanks,
Guy Premont

Similar problem here, but worse. Nslookup resolves everything, ping
resolves nothing:
/home/avi> nslookup www.kernelnotes.org
Server: dns.netvision.net.il
Address: 194.90.1.5
Name: kernelnotes.org

ping: unknown host: www.kernelnotes.org

What is the difference in resolver configuration for ping and nslookup?

Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 21:26:08 +1000
I know there's going to be an easy answer to this, but.....
My POP server / mail host is returning the error message:
-ERR being read already /usr/spool/mail/mymailfilename
when my mail client tries to check for new mail. Anyone have any ideas
on how to fix this? Here's some relevant points:
. The problem happens with any POP client, running on any OS.
. I can also reproduce the problem by telnetting to port 110 on the
mail host and issuing the USER and PASS commands by hand.
. I can run elm and pine locally on the mail host and read my mail
without a problem.
. I've deleted the file, waited for new mail to come in, same
problem.
. I've deleted & recreated my account on the host, same problem.
. I've deleted my account on the host, created a few dummy users then
recreated my account (therefore my account = new UID), same problem.
. All machines being used are on the same ethernet.
. Rebooting the host also doesn't help. (I thought maybe a rogue
process holding the file locked open).
. I've deleted all / any .lck files I can find, no difference.
. If I cp /usr/spool/mail/mymailfile to /usr/spool/mail/root, then
modify the client to check root's mail (or telnet to port 110, as
above), I get the ERR message. This is after the three delete & recreate
steps described above.
Any ideas gratefully received,

Subject: SupraMax PCI Modem under Red Hat 5.2
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 12:25:28 +0100
Hi.
I bought a SupraMax 56k PCI and it works fine under Windows 9x/NT.
I tried to use it under Red Hat Linux 5.2 and I could not get the modem
to work.
Before I bought it, I checked
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/hardware/intel/52/rh52-hardware-intel-14.html#ss14.3
and it says that the following (among others) are incompatible modems:
- Plug-and-Play (PNP) modems (these may be set up via isapnptools and
setserial).
- Modems that require software drivers for compression, error
correction, high-speed operation, etc.
- PCI Memory Mapped Modems (these do not act like serial ports)
- Internal SupraExpress 56k
- Internal SupraSonic 56k
- ...
But is says nothing about SupraMax. So I assumed it would work.
I have read now "Modems: Traditional, Controller-less and Soft" white
paper
http://www.supra.com/products/white-papers/communications/c-less_paper.html
and now I am afraid that is too late.
Is it possible to get the modem working in a different OS other that
Windows 9x/NT ?
And is it possible to get the modem working under Linux ?
Thank you

Ping uses /etc/resolv.conf (or better, it uses the standard resolver
library, which uses...), and nslookup does not; it goes to DNS
regardless of what /etc/resolv.conf says. Probably /etc/reolv.conf isn't
setup to use DNS.

Subject: Linux as a firewall
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 13:45:06 +0200
I need to setup Linux to act as a firewall for a LAN versus other connected
LAN. I have many doubts about kernel to use (now 2.0.36, Debian 2.1),
ipchains, ipfwadmin and so on. Can anybody tell me where to find possibly
exhaustive documentation about firewalling?
Thanks for any reply.
