pppd did not put them there. Syslog puts them there to let you know that
syslog is still working. You can switch them off (see man syslogd)o
-- the -m option to syslogd. -m 0 switches off the mark recofding.
(youhave to put that into whatever it is that starts your syslogd
daemon-- eg /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslogd)

VMware looks pretty slick and might do the trick for me Andrew. Thanks for
the idea! I've been planning on trying WINE also. Also, Kevin, my DSL
isn't actually a 24 hour connection unfortunately. My area is new to DSL,
so 24 hour DSL service isn't offered yet. Instead, I must use Cisco
Commander (a windows app) to "login" and activate my DSL connection to the
net. Once I've done so, I'm on the net for 2 hrs, afterwhich I'm booted off
and must "login" again. I'd like to find a pure Linux solution for this
login process, but it's looking grim so far. vmware is the best solution so
far (if it ends up working with Cisco Commander okay). Thanks though for
the reply. If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears!
Thanks again!

Hi,
I am having problem to get a newly compiled kernel to work with dhcpcd

Get the nameservers from bell, or to get just 1 nameserver
enter nslookup with nothing and you would get back the
name and ipaddr of a nameserver.
I use SuSE and use dhclient in that distribution; for RH
I've read that it is DHCPCD, I think, that you need to install.
Linux does not install the DHCP client package by default.

I suspect this is related to some hardware component. I have had
similar problems on one machine with about every kernel from 2.0.36
to 2.2.12. I can't reproduce it on demand, but it won't run a full
day under heavy disk and network loads (it crashed about every 2
weeks in normal operation). Meanwhile a couple of other SMP machines
with different motherboards have been up for several months running
the same software. On the problem machine it doesn't seem to make
a difference if I disable SMP in the kernel. I haven't tried physically
removing the 2nd CPU yet.

Try adding the line
alias net-pf-17 off
to /etc/conf.modules. In any case, it doesn't look like a serious
problem, because the dhcp is working.

Winproxy doesn't support ICMP packets hence ping will never get routed
via your Win 98 box.
I would rather suggest using your linux box as your proxy with the
modem and Internet connection and forewarding using IPChains (their
site has all the necessary scripts etc)
It not only gives you more flexibility (ftp server; firewall; squid
etc etc) it's a lot more secure and stable. Imagine a huge download
that gets trashed cause your WIN98 box gpf'd.
Hope that at least answered your question!

Has anyone had any luck with it? Or do they recommend any other

Subject: Problems wiht PLIP
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 22:25:06 +0200
Hello!
I've got a problem to set up a connection between two Linux-computers by
using plip. Can anyone help me?
I tryed to set up a plip link between a laptop and a desktop computer.
The parallel port of the laptop is ok, in its bios the port is set up in
bidirectional mode. (On the desktop computer: it's in SPP mode).
The cable is ok as well, I use a special laplink cable (under dos with
"interlnk" it works).
The laptop is running Linux using root/boot-disks (self-made), hostname
laptop; IP 192.168.0.5; kernel 2.0.35 with plip firewall, tcp/ip and
forwarding compiled in. The desktop computer is running SuSE-Linux 5.3
with the same kernel-konfiguration; hostname desktop; IP 192.168.0.2.
If I set up the plip link as described in te plip-mini-HOWTO, it doesn't
work. If I type "ping laptop" on my desktop computer, I get 100% data
loss, and on my desktop computer the message apeares: "plip1: transmit
timeout(1,87)". If I vice versa type "ping desktop" on the laptop, I get
100% data loss as well but this time again at the same time on my
desktop computer (!) I get the message: "plip1: transmit timeout(1,87)"!
So what is wrong? Is it a hardware problem or isn't the network set up
correctly?
If I check on the laptop with "ifcongig" I get the following message:
laptop:/root # ifconfig

p.s.: Actually I know, it's a lot easier by using serial ports and pppd
or slattach, but the serial port is slow, I down't own a seral laplink
cable, and anyway I spent a lot of time to solve the problem by using
plip.

Some other device has taken the IRQ that your ethercard is trying to use,
and so the ethercard can't use the IRQ. You don't
necessairly need to reboot to resolve this, as some devices only grab the
IRQs when they need them and then release them
when they are done. Examples are some sound cards, serial ports, floppy
disk driver, etc. You can type cat
/proc/interrupts to see which interrupts are presently in use. Most of the
Linux ethercard drivers only grab the IRQ
when they are opened for use via `ifconfig'. If you can get the other
device to `let go' of the required IRQ line, then you
should be able to `Try again' with ifconfig. "

Howard Mann.

Cable Modems and ADSL are just too new and appear to be unsupported.

Subject: PPP daemon has died ( exit code = 16 )
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 15:03:16 -0700
Greetings this is my first post. I installed SuSE Linux 6.2 two days ago.
I have never worked with Unix or Linux so I am a major newbie.
My problem is that when I try to connect to my ISP I get this message [ PPP
daemon has died ( exit code = 16 ) ] when using "wvdial" at the console or
"kppp" in x-windows.
I looked at SuSE's site for support and they mention placing a coment ( # )
before "Lock" in the /etc/ppp/options file. Which I did I think...he he.
Apparently this keep Kppp from locking up the modem first. But that still
didn't work.
I have re-installed the daemon's also I am just out of options at this
point. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks All.
Rod

I ended up reinstalling Redhat which isn't that bad because I backup
everything that I've added/modified onto my windoze partition, for easy
access (mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/dos). I answered YES to configure LAN,
accepted the Network card it found, and selected DHCP as my server type.
After booting up, and logging in as root, I brought up a terminal and
started telnet 10.0.0.1 (the local IP of the Cisco 675 DHCP server) and
type 'enable' then 'show running'. Look for the DNS server IP addresses.
exit.
I had to vi /etc/resolv.conf to delete the one line 'search'. Then start
linuxconf, select Config-Client tasks-Name server spec(DNS)and for
nameserver1 type in the IP address you found for the DNS server above.
Repeat for nameserver2. If you cat /etc/resolv.conf you can see the
entries.
Now when I start Netscape, and click on a link it works !!!!!!!!! No not
found errors. You still need to add mail server info and create users etc.

Ari: 192.168.1.8 is a private ip address. It can never be the destination
address of an incoming connection from the real internet. The destination
address would be the ip address assigned to your other ehternet port that is
attached to your cable modem. If you are using DHCP on that port, then the
address may change from time to time and won't be known in advance for your
rule. Thus sepcify that the input is on ethx where x is the number of the
ethernet card attached to your cable modem.
However, the ipchains HOWTO indicates that a port number can follow the
REDIRECT target. It does not say that an IP Address can be included as
well. So what you want to do may not work. There are no explicit examples
given. I would be interested to here if this is really possible as well.

Hi,
Does the 3com message modem external work with
mgetty/vgetty and ZyXEL software under SuSE 6.1 ?
Is it easy to configure/build ?
Many thanks
Matt
