To make Linux recogninzing RealTek 8139:
1. Check if you have module rtl8139 installed. Just see if
there is a file
/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/net/rtl8139.o If not, recompile
the kernel whith
CONFIG_RTL8139.
2. add the following line to the file /etc/conf.modules
alias eth1 rtl8139
3. create a file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:
DEVICE=eth1
IPADDR=192.168.1.1 #your IP addres here
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 #your netmask here
NETWORK=192.168.1.0 #your netwotk number here
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 #your broadcast address here
ONBOOT=yes #if you want this interface up at boot
Thats it. Reboot and than check if eth1 is up. Just type
ifconfig.

Here I need some additional info.
Do you have a subnet of real IP addresses or will use a subnet
of private IP addresses in you LAN? If it`s subnet of private
addresses, then you`ll have to
configure IP masquerading or install some kind of proxy server.
Good luck.

Make sure you answer yes to LM Announce, and raise the

Broadcast services are available, and that the workgroup name

I also had problems with pumpsimilar to yours the first time I installed
6.0. The last time I tried the latest version of pumt and it worked.
But there is another problem with pump. One shall get the same ip number
the next time one gets online. With pump one always get an ip number
randomly. It was the same with the earleier dhspcd. The latest dhcpc gives
the same ip number as the last time.
If you will get the same ip number depends on how long leasing times your
ISP's dhcp server have. 1 day, 1 week or whatever.
I suggest that you get the latest dhcpcd and make changes it the proper
startscripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. Change pump ta say
dhcpcd
Below is the changes that I made. It wasn't yesterday i did it so I might
have forgotten something. Tell if it doesn't work, then I'll take a closer
look into my netscripts.

Subject: pppd on startup
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 13:07:46 +0000
Hi gurus,
We have a suse 6.0 box with kernel 2.2.5 and pppd compiled into the
kernel.
This box is the masquerader for our LAN.
So pppd is run on startup, in script /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/S50ppp and with
options demand and idle.
The problem is that it does not launch correctly, and we have to run the
script manually after boot for a correct work.
Here is a part of /var/log/messages :
Sep 15 08:17:27 jorasses modprobe: can't locate module ppp0
Sep 15 08:17:27 jorasses pppd[241]: Failed to open /dev/ttyS0: Device or
resource busy(16)
Sep 15 08:17:27 jorasses pppd[241]: This system lacks kernel support for
PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module is not loaded, or
because the kernel is not configured for PPP. See the README.linux file
in the ppp-2.3.5 distribution.
We can't figure which part of boot process is involved in logging the
modprobe error message.
(furthermore, ppp kernel support is not compiled as a module!)
Why does /dev/ttyS0 is busy at boot time?
We think that it exists a problem with such a startup sequence.
Can U help?
Thanx.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions...
What other servers are running on your server in addition to the Samba server?
Do your clients do I/O on the server very often? The coaxial cables in school
is giving us lots of headache because they're pretty old and the connections
seem to be rather loose... still thinking of a way to get around it.

It looks like a problem with your DNS zone.
Check in the log files if name server loads zone. If it does
not, try to fix the error.
Generaly, BIND gives out SERVFAIL responses only in cases when
DNS zone is
not loaded or has expired.
Probably, I`ll be able to give more helpful advise after seeng
your log files.
Good luck.

Sounds like you haven't got the ftp masquerading module loaded
in your kernel. Try typing
insmod ip_masq_ftp
If that works, you can put that line in rc.local or compile the
module into your kernel.

Check:
http://www.buy.com/comp/product.asp?SKU=10140760
As near as I can tell from Linksys's web site, this is a true switch, but
it's conceivable that Linksys is hiding something in the fine print.
(It's the Linksys EtherFast 5-port switch, model EZXS55W.) The price at
Buycomp is $93.95.
The last time I checked, Buycomp also had a 4-port switch for about the
same price, but now I can only find it for $137.95. (Buycomp's prices do
tend to bounce around a lot.)

It's been a long time since I have used ipfwadm (I use ipchains), but the above looks
correct... accept/masq from network address 192.168.1.0/24 destination anywhere.
Although,
your default policy should be deny.

Can you ping the internal address of your linux box from the windows box? If I
understand
the above paragraph, you have set the default route of your windows box to 192.168.1.1
>
> Should I be able to ping outside even IP masquerade doesn't work, right?
Not necessarily,
If IP_FORWARDING is enabled (without ipmasq setup), you should be able to ping the
external interface of your linux box ONLY (from your windows box), not anything past
that.
If IP_FORWARDING is NOT enabled you would not be able to ping the external interface of
your linux box (from your windows box). Obviously, ipmasq rules would not work too...
Once you enable ip masq rules (as you did above) along with enabling IP_FORWARDING, you
will be able to ping a registered IP address on the internet from your windows box.
BTW: Have you enabled IP_FORWARDING ? Without this setting turned on, linux TCP/IP
stack
will NOT forward a packet of data from eth0 to eth1. To enable IP_FORWARDING do the
following...
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
You should now be able to ping an outside address from your windows box. On Redhat 5.2,
edit the following file to have the above command executed at system startup.
1) edit /etc/sysconfig/network
2) change the line within this file from
FORWARD_IPV4=no
to
FORWARD_IPV4=yes

If you can lay your hands on another server or your ISP/network
admin supports it, the best option would be to use IMAP instead
of POP3. The messages and folders are stored on the server,
and your imap client (Netscape Mail) downloads the headers, and
bodies as you read them. If it's an option I'd suggest looking
at http://www.imap.org/
If, however, you're on a stand-alone system you can try
mounting your windows partition with write permissions to all
users. Assuming it's hda1 your /etc/fstab file could be
written as such
/dev/hda1 /dos vfat noexec,nodev,nosuid,rw,umask=0 1 1
HTH,

Use the kernel driver, and install "3c59X" driver, or do insmod
-n 3c59x.o
I personally reccomend a kernel install for that one.

I work with a network research group and we've been discussing incorporating
some of our results into a linux kernel and tcp/ip stack
(www.psc.edu/networking/). Since we've little experience in linux, most of
our work is developed under NetBSD, I've been looking for appropriate
mailing lists and resources. I was hoping someone here might be able to
point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Subject: Telnet service on different TCP/IP port?
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 13:30:28 GMT
Hello,
I will be setting up a Redhat 6.0 Linux box within our LAN. Because
of requirements of other programs running on the LAN I cannot use the
standard TCP/IP port assigned to Telnet.
How can I change the Linux Telnet service to listen on a different
port for logins?
Thanks in advance!

Subject: How do you configure a second NIC?
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 09:40:07 -0500
Hi,
I am a newbie to Linux, but I am fairly knowledgeable with other
networks(NT/98/Cisco). I am running RH 6.0 with GNU as my window manager.
I have successfully configured one NIC. Everything works on it.
I have a second identical NIC installed in my PC. How do add it to my Linux
configuration and configure separate settings for it?
I am going to make this box a firewall. My first NIC uses DHCP and is
connected to the Internet via a cable modem. The second NIC needs to have a
static IP address and connect to my internal network.
I appreciate any help that you can offer.

Found this message by a search in Deja, Did you ever get an answer?
I have the same Linux and netcard. I have gotten it to work (albiet
flakely) with the tulip driver and 3c59X driver. Did you find a driver
that works better?
One other thing I noticed is that the init scripts loads the eth0 device
first THEN PCMCIA, by reversing them I can get the card to respond. I
get a lot of errors though and trouble connecting.
Email is appreciated.
