Hello Paul,
Thanks for the input. I think I've been able to solve the problem by
disabling power management in the bios. The linux box has been
accepting connections happily for several hours now.
I guess I should say that the network problem coincided with error
messages from APM saying that it was unable to go into the requested
state. But I had thought the problems were unrelated.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Go to linuxhelp.org and look in the howtos for one named cable-modem mini
howto, it should answer most questions. Your ethernet card has a tulip chipset
I believe which you will either have to compile into the kernel or build as a
module to use.

I have installed slackware 4, and I have a d-link DE-220 series pnp ISA

Subject: Dhcp and pump problem
Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 20:08:49 -0400
Has anyone experienced this problem?
I have a two PC network at home, with Win 98 and Wingate's dhcp server
running on the other PC. When both PC's are in a Win environment (client
can dual boot), the client PC gets an IP address and everything works as
expected. When I boot the client into RH 6.0 Linux and attempt to use dhcp
to obtain network parameters at boot time, the boot process NEVER gets past
the initializing eth0 point (it doesn't lock up, it just doesn't move
forward). If I don't enable dhcp at boot time, the system boots up, but of
course there is no initialized eth0. If I then open Network Configurator,
highlight
eth0 and activate it, the cpu usage jumps to 100% and stays there. When I
run ifconfig, I see eth0 and SOME parameters, but there is no IP address
attached to it, and networking doesn't work. When I run top, pump is using
all the cpu time, and it continues to do this until I kill the process.
After that, ifconfig shows a configured interface, and I can access the
network. I have taken this client PC to my workplace and had the exact same
problem (the dhcp server there is an NT based system if that matters) and if
I do as I have outlined above, the outcome is the same.
I have already udated to the pump-0.7 off of RH's errata page and this did
not help. I fact, I have updated my client with all the errata rpms that
are available off of that page at this time. I understand that pump is
"buggy", but dhclient, which I have also tried, has other problems. What's
wrong? How do I get the system to initialize eth0 at boot time?
Thanks in advance

No. For security reasons, root should not ever be allowed to remote
shell to your box. Log in as the user and then 'su -' to root. By the
time you figure out how to do it, you'll have heard enough to know you
shouldn't.

On the box, as root 'passwd art' then type in the password twice. Then
type 'pwconv' to get shadow passwords.

You DO NOT have to recompile the kernel to use a new tulip driver in RH6.
Just get the sources for tulip and build according to its instructions.
BTW, the stock RH6 tulip driver definitely does not work with the Linksys
EtherFast series, but the latest tulip driver does.

I get
*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Server failed

I've worked through the first (Section 3) part where we setup a
catching DNS, and get the message that the Name Server is running.
I'm sure that I missed something simple, but I don't see it.
The config files virtually match the files in the HowTo, except
they specify my isp's nameserver, after they specify the
localhost(127.0.0.1).
I'm setting this up to try to resolve a problem where a Windoze

Check out www.linuxrouter.org. There is a whole organization doing just this
with the Debian distribution. The easiest way is to download the "idiot
image" from their download site, then rawrite it to a floppy. Then go to
www.linuxrouter.org/modmaker and select the modules you need (ie: ip_mask,
ne2000, etc). Follow the instructions and you should have a working router
with ip masquerade in one evening. My router runs on a 486SX/33 with 16MB
RAM and it all loads from a floppy (no HD). In fact if you subscribe to
their mailing list, you will see that quite a few organizations are ripping
out their Cisco's and replacing them with Linux routers.

Subject: Linux-Win98 Cable modem network
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 02:13:45 GMT
Hi,
I am about to purchase a new computer to run Linux on. It will probably
be a cheap Celeron 400 or something. I currently have a Celeron 400
running Windows 98 and connect to the internet via cable modem to the
@home network. What I want is to be able to access the internet
(e-mail, web browsing, net game playing) from both computers. I
currently have a D-Link DE-528CT Ethernet card.
So, here are my questions.
1. Is this possible?
2. Is the DE-528CT Ethernet card supported under Linux?
3. Should I use IP Masquerading or Proxy server? on the Linux or
Windows box?
4. What addititional hardware do I need? I definately need an
additional ethernet card (any reccomendations on a good one?). Do I
need a network hub?
As an added complication, I may want to boot both machines in Win98 to
play 2-player games head to head over the local network.
Any information you can offer will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Well, thanks to everyone who contributed, I have a working system that
fetches e-mail for all the users of my system from one .fetchmailrc
file.
What I was missing (and was confused about) is that fetchmail uses
sendmail (in my case) to send the e-mails it retrieves. So, a single
user (not even root, even though that's how I set it up) can run it
and distribute e-mail for everyone. Of course, that would mean that
the user would have access to the e-mail passwords of other users, but
that's not a concern in our case.

There are a couple things you could do:
1. rinetd (go to www.freshmeat.net) and that can redirect for you.
2. ipmasqadm portfw (search on google) and this will also do a redirect.
3. (best way) Use BeroFTPd (supports ratios, very similar to serv-u) and
use smbclient to mount the shares you have on your windows box.
Hope this helped you out somehow

Hi Linux experts...
I'm not sure if this is possible at all, but if it is it will make me

network card work with Linux.
So, does anyone know of any drivers for Diamond's Home Network

If your open for a different way of printing from linux to an NT server, enable LPD
printing on your NT server. See below for an example.
Steve Cowles
SWCowles at gte dot net
On your NT server where the printers are attached...
Load Microsoft TCP/IP Printing. Goto Control-Panel->Network->Services. There is no
configuration required. Just load it as a service. As always, you will have to re-boot.
<groan>
On your Linux box
Create a remote printer definition in /etc/printcap. See my example below. The key
fields
to change at your end are "rm" and "rp". rm = should point to your NT server name (the
print server, use FQDN not the netbios name), rp = should point to the remote print
queue
"name" on that NT server.
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=defiant.mydomain.net:\
:rp=HPLaser:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
To test the remote printer definition, type the following... you should see something
similer. In my example, my print queue is empty. duh!!

CHAP81 is another new thing, incompatible with anything else, brought to
you by Microsoft. Linux as it stands does not support chap81, although I
believe that drivers are being written.
RAS CAN be set up to use any or chap 81, chap 80 or chap 05. Tell your
people to set it up to use chap 05
Note that there seems to be absolutely no reason for MS to be
introducing these variants. They are not more secure than chap05 from
what I have seen. Just different.
