Thanx, but I resolved it by changing the subnet address on the Win98 machine
from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0
That allowed the Win98 machine to talk to the Linux box. However, I can only do
it by referring to the
172.16.1.1 address directly in Netscape. I edited the hosts.smb file on the
Windoze box, adding the line:
172.16.1.1 joel.linuxhost
to avoid entering the ip address directly (I re-booted the machine to make sure
it "took"). That still didn't work.
Any suggestions?

Subject: Am I using netmasks incorrectly?
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 03:55:02 GMT
Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up my linux box (smb server) on the local networks.
Some networks can access my computer and some cannot.
My /etc/sysconfig/static-routes file reads
eth0 net 167.76.175.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 167.76.232.1
eth0 net 167.76.196.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 167.76.232.1
Now if I traceroute to a computer on the 167.76.175.0 network, it goes
through the gateway.
However, if I traceroute to the computer 167.76.196.24, it will not go
through the gateway, and will not be able to connect!!
If I add the following line to the static-routes file
eth0 net 167.76.196.24 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw 167.76.232.1
Then I am able to ping the computer 167.76.196.24
Why does the second line of the above configuration not work?
What I would really like to do is tell my computer to go through the
gateway for ALL ip's that do not start with 167.76.232
To accomplish this, I added the line
eth0 net 167.76.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 167.76.232.1
However, this does not work. I am having to manually add every single
computer whose ip starts with 167.76 manually.. what I am doing wrong?
I am running red hat 6.0, and my ip is 167.76.232.183, and my netmask
is 255.255.255.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Julien

You can do this in two ways: Here is a solution if both cards are
compiled right into the kernel. In your /etc/lilo.conf, add this line
(of course after editing it to fit your particular need) to the
appropriate section.
append="ether=10,0x300,eth1 ether=0,0,eth0"
Here, my first NIC (NE2000, ISA) has ioport 0x300 and the interrupt is
10. The second has 0,0 since that is a PCI card. Here is the full
section of /etc/lilo.conf:
image=/boot/rh6-2.2.12
label=rh6-1
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
append="ether=10,0x300,eth1 ether=0,0,eth0"
If you compile your drivers as modules, then put the following lines
into your /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf depending your distro:
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300
alias eth1 tulip
Here, I define eth0 as the ne (NE2000 ISA) card's driver. The option I
pass is the ioport. The kernel will figure out the interrupt after it
knows the port. The tulip driver is aliases as eth1. No options are
necessary for this driver. If you compiled your network driver as a
module then you can figure out the name of it by looking at
/lib/modules/2.2.12/net directory. Of course, the 2.2.12 is valid for
the 2.2.12 kernel.
There are different ways to check if the network driver is loaded
correctly. If they are compiled into the kernel, then you should see
some relevant messge about them when the kernel boots up. Here is some
from my machine:
tulip.c:v0.89H 5/23/98 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
eth0: Digital DC21041 Tulip at 0xfc80, 21041 mode, 00 e0 29 11 06 81,

NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 c0 df 50 49 9a
eth1: NE2000 found at 0x300, using IRQ 10.
Also, /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports will list that their names
imply. If you have a PCI card, then /proc/pci will list it:
Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
Ethernet controller: DEC DC21041 (rev 33).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 9. Master Capable.

I had LinkSys cards in all my windows boxes. I tried getting the
linksys cards to work in RedHat6 and Slackware4 and was unsuccessful.
http://www.linksys.com/support/solution/nos/linux_lne100tx.htm
I think the decision is better determined by knowing if you are a linux
newbie or a guru. I am more a newbie so recompiling kernels or modules
seemed over my skills.
I bought 3COM905s for less than $50 at http://www.mwave.com
the 905s have worked in
RedHat 6
Slackware 4
Win2000beta3

AND I noticed a considerable speed increase on my game servers with the
3COM cards over the linksys cards (10% - 20%)

Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 05:09:02 GMT
After bashing my head against the wall and going down the wrong paths
several times, I finally got my SOHOware Fast Ethernet NIC to work on my
HP Pavilion 6465 (supposedly has an ASUS MEB-VM mainboard) and got the
HP networked to my other PC running Windows 98 SE and sharing an
Internet connection with it.
The trick was -- as was suggested by others -- to use the latest tulip.c
driver and disable Plug & Play. However, there's a bit of trick to that
because the HP BIOS doesn't have an obvious way of disabling P & P. The
way to do it is to select the Operating System as "Other" by going into
the BIOS setup. This was mentioned by another HP owner at this
newsgroup.
Many thanks to those who offered suggestions (some good, some...well...)
and especially Chris McDonald for the Linux machine network settings to
use Internet Connection Sharing with Windows 98 SE.
If anyone wants the gory details, let me know. I'll publish a more
detailed message later (after I'm done celebrating!).

Here's a way that works well for me.
find . -type f -name \*.txt -print | xargs grep foo 2> /dev/null
Substitute any directory name for the `.' that you want. The find program
prints the filenames that match the -name expression which are then
piped to xargs. The xargs program allows grep to use the filenames to
search for foo. The 2> /dev/null sends standard error to the bit-bucket,
eliminating "xxx is a directory" errors that otherwise may annoy.
Another way is
find /etc/* -name rc.\* -exec grep setserial {} \; -print 2> /dev/null
but this seems to be limited in the number of files it can handle.

Subject: second NIC not working,help please!
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 06:09:39 GMT
Hi,
I really appreciate very much if someone can help me to solve following
problem:
I have a dual P-III machine (server) running Linux Mandrake6.0.
Initially one NIC(ISA, 3COM 3C509) was installed and connected to cable
modem. Everything worked great. Now I add a second NIC (PCI type, CNET
Pro120) to connect with my LAN (via a hub to Windows NT etc.) I used
linuxconf to add this NIC by giving a IP=192.168.1.1, module=tulip.
Kernel successfully detect both cards. ifconfig shows both cards up. I
can ping second NIC's IP (192.168.1.1) OK. Now the problem: the LED link
indicator on hub stays off for second NIC. I can not ping linux machine
from my LAN (NT) at all. Is there some configuration I am missing here?
Please help.
PS. I have dual boots on my server. I verified this problem is gone if I
boot it to NT sever, the second NIC works OK. its LED light on hub is
on. I can ping it from LAN. My understanding is, if the hub's LED light
off for second NIC means there is no connectivity (right ?).

Are you only concerned about hosts? If so then you can run a simple
caching dns server and add the ip of the name server in
/etc/resolv.conf. The following article is an excellent starting point
on setting up a DNS server....
http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue44/pollman/dns.html
However...if you also want to be able to control the user accounts,
groups etc... on one central location then you will have to use NIS.
Look through the NIS-HOWTO to get an idea of what needs to be done. I
warn you however that getting NIS working properly (including plugging
most security holes) is not a trivial task.
If you want to share the files to your windows machines...you will have
to use SAMBA.

When I telnet into test.srai.org...I get "login incorrect". Upon
examining /var/log/messages on the client I see:
"Sep 16 02:22:31 test login: FAILED LOGIN 2 FROM localhost FOR srai,
Authentication failure"
I made sure to change all /etc/pam.d/* entries from pam_pawd to
pam_unix_<*>....
When I do ypmatch srai passwd ... I get:
srai:x:500:500::/home/srai:/bin/bash
My nsswitch.conf on the client reads:
passwd: compat
shadow: compat
group: compat
passwd_compat: nis
shadow_compat: nis
group_compat: nis
I am able to login as a local user on the client machine.
Could you tell me what is wrong here?
Problem 2) Cannot automount homedir
I installed autofs and set up the appropriate files in router.srai.org
to act as the file server.....
Following are the config files on the server (router.srai.org):
/etc/auto.master contains
/home /etc/auto.home --timeout 60
/etc/auto.home contains
srai -fstype=auto router.srai.org:/home/srai
On the client (test.srai.org)
when I do: "ypmatch srai auto.home" I get
-fstype=auto router.srai.org:/home/srai
when I do: "/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs status" I get
Configured Mount Points:
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 60 /home yp /etc/auto.home
Active Mount Points:
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 60 /home yp /etc/auto.h
As you can see the active mount point shows /home in "/etc/auto.h". I
don't have a auto.h file or is this just a filename truncation? When I
try to access /home/srai I get the following message on
/var/log/messages
Sep 16 02:37:34 test automount[689]: attempting to mount entry
/home/srai
Sep 16 02:37:34 test automount[750]: lookup(yp): lookup for srai failed:
No such map in server's domain
I have spent over a day on this and have not been able to get it
working...I looked everywhere but there does not seem to be much in
terms of online documentation regarding NIS on linux. Any help would be
much much much appreciated.
Thanks,
S.r.
P.s.: my /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files look the following
(on both machines):
/etc/hosts.allow
ALL : localhost .srai.org
portmap : 192.168.1.
/etc/hosts.deny
ALL : ALL

1) disable pnp
2) set irq and base I/O address manually with DOS config program
3) give I/O address as parameter for modprobe:
in /etc/conf.modules something like:
options ne io=0x280 irq=12

I have an old RS/6000 with 32 megs of RAM, and apparently 2 BNC network
cards (one built into the motherboard and another in an MCA slot). Will
linux run on this machine? and can BNC netwoking be connected to a
10base-T Network, or should I just switch to 10 base-T?

Subject: 2 IP addresses
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 23:16:39 -0700
that should be a simple questions to some of you!
I am trying to apply 2 IP address into my RedHat 5.1 2.0.36 kernel machine!
I have followed the HowTos and apply two real ip address to these etho and
eth0:0 interfaces.
I use ifconfig to configure both interface using 255.255.255.240 as the
subnet mask. I know my network number is x.x.x.240. but, I just cannot set
up the route table right! when I do a route, it shows nothing on the routing
table! Of course, I receive an error message "Network is unreachable" when I
do a ifup eth0 or restarting the network daemon.
Can someone suggest me some solutions to me?
Any help will be greatly appreciated?
