The straight through cable should be just fine.  That's what I used to
connect my Sparc 10 to a USR Courier "V.everything".

Let's see here.  Searching through the Data Comm Warehouse catalog for
cheap switches,
(http://www.warehouse.com/DataComm/Networking/HubsConcentrators/Switching/)
I found some:

Addtron Technologies 5 port 10/100 switch for $100
Allied Telesyn AT-FS203 (2-port 10/100) for $100
Linksys EtherFast 10/100 2-port for $100

There are several more (with 2-10 ports) if you're willing to go up to
the $165 price that you've seen.

Now, these switches are unmanaged, and may not have enough bandwidth to
go around if all ports get saturated with 100M traffic at once.  But
they're definitely not repeaters.

I am posting this in case someone has the same problem.

I figured out the problem.

There was a bug in the pcnet32 driver.  The driver returns after the
detecting the first driver.
The buggy driver is version: 1.11 17.1.99

This was fixed.  I am now using v1.21 31.3.99.

Hello group.

    I am running a Linux RH6.0 server and am using Samba to (try) talk
to the Win boxes here at the office. The Server came direct from Dell
with the ethernet card preinstalled and on LILO boot it does not
recognize it and subsequently fails. I must type ifconfig eth0
192.168.0.1 to activate the ether-connection. From this point how can I
tell if the card is active and is capable of recieiving a signal from
the hub and vice-versa?? I've tried everything in both smb.conf and the
Windows machines to try and get the server to show in 'Network
Neighboorhood' and no luck. Always met with an "Unable to browse
network......." dialog box. Hence I suspect a hardware glitch.

Thank you in advance!

If you are going directly from the cablemodem to the NIC, you might need a
crossover cable.  I know that my DSL router uses a crossover to go directly
to the PC, or into an uplink port on a hub.

Set up the home page on the win machine to point to the Linux machine.
It is not the http host who determines what the client looks at.

Subject: How can I connect 10Base2 and 10BaseT machines?
Date: 15 Sep 1999 19:11:09 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I'm trying to hook a new machine into my current 10Base2 network, and 
would appreciate hints, pointers, or appropriate search terms.

Current network:

 - 'griffin': Linux (SuSE 5.3) on a 486DX4-100
   EC-9400 (NE2000 clone) "combo" adapter: 10Base2, 10BaseT

 - 'Office': OS/2 Warp4 on a Pentium(I) 100
   EC-9400 adapter

 - Cabling: 10Base2 (coax)

This works fine so far. I can run XFree86 as an X Server under OS/2 and 
run X apps on 'griffin', the Linux box. I can ftp both ways with no 
problems.

But...  here's where it gets tricky.  I want to attach a new machine, a
"loaner" HP SomethingOrOther of fairly recent vintage to the network.
Naturally, the HP's LAN adapter only has a 10Base[T] (twisted pair)
connector.  What can I say?  Murphy's visiting again (;-).

Ignoring the TCP/IP and NetBeui/TCPBeui configuration issues for the 
moment (gotta save something for Murphy on his _next_ visit), is there 
any way I can get the Ethernet hardware layer connection set up?

Possibilities:

 1) A 10Base2-to-10BaseT "adapter". Does such a gadget exist, and if 
    so, is its price in a "reasonable" range (c. $20US)? I tried 
    AltaVista, but turned up too many false hits to continue. Seems 
    _lots_ of people talk about "adapter"s and 10BaseT and 10Base2 (;-).

 2) Get a "crossover" cable and run it between the HP and the 10BaseT 
    connector on 'griffin's EC-9400. Will the adapter talk Ethernet out 
    of "both sides of its mouth", e.g. to both the 10Base2 AND the 
    10BaseT port?

 3) Assuming my memory is still owrking properly, see if I can find what
    might have been DB15-to-BNC connectors in my basement. If they turn 
    out to be "Thick" to "Thin" Ethernet adapters, see if I can hotwire 
    one into the adapter I need.

 4) Install a 10Base2 ISA adapter in the HP, assuming the customer 
    doesn't have objections, and try to set up the appropriate device 
    driver wothout an NT Installation CD (the HP was "cloned" over the
    customer's internal network). If I screw it up, well, the customer's
    site is _only_ an hour's drive away...  (;-)

Is there another possibility I'm overlooking here?

Is it possible that I can't do what I want the way I'd like to?

Comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

I don't know about pppd, since I never leave the line idle for that
long, but I know my ISP will cut-off connections that remain idle for
too long.  I would be surprised if yours didn't have a similar policy -
it's fairly common.

Can someone please Babelfish this into English?

Subject: Possible to limit # of connections to a port?
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 20:04:26 GMT

Is there a way to limit the number of connections to a particular port
no matter what is listening on that port? For example, if I have a
daemon I want to run on port 4500 but the program itself doesn't offer
a way to limit max connections...any way to use Linux itself to do
that?
