Vielleicht k�nnen Sie das IRQ ins BIOS konfigurieren. Was gibt ihr /proc/pci? Meine
gibt (Kernel
2.2.11)
Bus 0, device 10, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Realtek 8029 (rev 0).
Medium devsel. IRQ 12.
I/O at 0x6800 [0x6801].
Ich habe nur "modprobe ne2k-pci" gemacht, und alles war gut.
Vielleicht helft es auch die Ordnung von die PCI Karten zu andern.

You may need to discard the router unless you can get a definite answer
that it does support NAT for your VPN protocol.
Take a look at the VPN Masq HOWTO at
ftp://ftp.rubyriver.com/pub/jhardin/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html - it should
answer your questions.

Would you mind offering a little more description on what an

I can't agree with you. You have to built the routing table with "route

The DFE530TX and the DE530TX (note the "F") are completely different cards,
really. I guess the "F" stands for Fast Ethernet(or something. The

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Interesting idea. I might try that.
I guess the way to do it (at the way I'm gonna try) is stick a counter
in the script that increments everytime it's run and on even ( devide's by 2)
counts, it'll use one dialup script and else, dial the other ISP.
I only have 2 so for more than that you would have to be a bit more creative
with the counter.

Configure it at runtime in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/. I am not sure
which parameter you are talking about. AFAIK each entry will be checked
frequently, not the complete table refreshed.

Hi,
I have tried almost every possible configuration
using 2 WD80x3 cards (eth0 and eth1) with 2 valid
IP addresses and 2 "outside" name server addresses
without any luck.
In fact, I can't ping anything outside my local
network. Can somebody help me (privately if you
want) with my problem?
For starters, I want to be sure that my machine
asks for name resolving to the 2 nameserver
addresses I have and don't want to host a DNS
myself. Should my resolv.conf be empty at all?
Thanks

Look if you have your reveresed DNS setup right I had the same problem for
some time until I bended and installed an NT server with a primary DNS and I
found out all the time I didn't have a name bound to my ip adress and or the
other way around check that that should resolve your issue.

That's MSCHAP version 2, another MS gimmick. It's not yet supported

Its even faster with SPAK or ipsend. See http://www.freefire.org in the

Thanks for the response! It was a faulty network card... The tulip

I swapped the cheap card with a 3com. Thanks for the help though (I did

OK. What I'd do would be to install PHP (http://www.php.net). It's a
server-side scripting language, in the same fashion as ASP is. It can be
compiled with Apache, or used as a CGI. If you don't mind taking the
time, then learn it. It's nice. Of particular interest to you, it has
functions for loads of different databases, including ODBC which you could
use to talk to Access.
However, you can stick with your ASP. Look at
http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/. It allows you to serve ASP pages on an
Apache server with mod_perl (http://perl.apache.org/) installed. I
haven't used it myself, although I'd be interested to hear from anyone
that has, as a friend of mine wanted me to host some ASP pages (he doesn't
want to learn PHP now he knows ASP) on my (Linux) machine.
There's also a program out there that will convert ASP scripts to PHP
ones. I don't have a URL for it I'm afraid. A look at the PHP homepage
might reveal something.
