The ISP is likely sitting at a text prompt or menu. Since your chat
script ends with CONNECT '' or the equivalent you must be expecting
to authenticate with PAP or CHAP, not login/password. Try replacing
the chat CONNECT line with CONNECT \\d\\c if the chat script is
a part of chat's argument list, or with CONNECT \d\c if the chat script
is in a separate file specified by the chat -f option.
This form of the CONNECT line inserts a second of delay and suppresses
a carriage return that is otherwise sent. This is the "send (^M)" that
follows the "-- got it" in the log snippet you posted.
BTW you can remove the kdebug <whatever> since it usually is not needed
and only makes the log harder to read.
If this doesn't help then post the chat script.

Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 09:42:10 -0400
Normal ethernet cables are straight through and are used to connect an
adapter to a hub. The hub looks after propagating transmitted data from one
adapter to the other adapters connected to the hub.
If you wish to connect two computers using ethernet, without a hub, you need
a special cable called a crossed cable. This cable connects the transmit
pair of one adapter to the receive pair of the other adapter.
Then configure an ip address in each computer and you should be able to
communicate.

I finally go my SOHOware 10/100 NIC to run on my HP Pavilion 6465.
Download the latest tulip.c driver (v. 0.91g). When you compile it make
sure you've got the syntax correct. If you need more info, let me know
and I'll send you exactly what I did. Also, I had to select an "Other"
operating system in my BIOS (HP's way of disabling Plug & Play). I have
my Linux box set up as a client to a PC running Windows 98 SE with
Internet Connection Sharing and it works great (as you can see by this
e-mail coming from the Linux client).

Subject: WinNT Can't See Linux Box
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 01:58:24 GMT
I just built a linux server intended for integration into a small lan of
winNT machines. As I usually do, I built the server in my little shop,
where I have win98/95/31 boxes all around, and everything was working
perfectly in about an hour (shares via samba). Of course samba requires
tcp/ip to be working, but this is always very simple with linux, as well
as with windows.
BUT !!!!!
tcp/ip is NOT working correctly with the NT boxes. Here are the
symptoms:
1) the nmbd component of samba broadcasts ok to NT boxes (doesn't need
tcp/ip);
2) from the server, I can view shares on NT boxes (w/smbclient--requires
tcp/ip);
3) from the server, I can ping all the NT boxes (requires tcp/ip, of
course);
4) NONE of the NT boxes can ping the server, even if they can see the
server on the network (presumably because of nmbd getting through via
netbeui, or other).
As far as the nt boxes are concerned, the ip of my linux box does not
exist, even though my linux box sees them all just fine.
What am I missing? I have not worked much with NT -- is NT blocking my
server out of its domain? If so, I couldn't find anywhere on the NT
server to change that.
TIA for any tips.

I have a RH6.0 Intel setup with a 33.6 Modem that seems to be working
okay... except for the extremely slow download speed. I waded through
enough info to get connected to my bellsouth.net ISP, but Netscape never
reports download speeds greater than ~1KB/sec. What is stranger than
that is the fact that I have to wiggle my mouse constantly, or the
download speeds dwindle to the 300B/sec to stalled range. I agree -
that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of too!
First of all, has anyone had a similar problem with slow download speeds
that they got resolved (i.e. any insights, suggestions ot tips)?
Secondly, what is the deal with wiggling the mouse? Why does that
consistently produce higher download speeds? (It honestly does help it
go faster - sometimes, it remains stalled until I move the mouse!) Has
anyone else seen anything like this? Please be kind if it is something
obvious.
Thanks for any help I can get.

Subject: disparate host addresses under single domain name?
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 23:31:28 GMT
Can a DNS domain name span hosts with unrelated addresses? Or must all
its hosts' addresses be in the same family?
I'm embarking on getting a domain name in order to join several
geographically scattered computers under a single name. (They all
belong to the same company.) Their static IP addresses came from
different local ISPs in the past, and are not contiguous or part of
any particular address ranges. All the examples for setting up DNS
seem to assume the same address family for hosts ( e.g., they all
start with 192.168.1 or something ). Below are host records from a
zone file like that, followed by the file as I envision it.
Is this workable? Can I set it up this way?
"STANDARD" ZONE FILE - all A records reflect addresses in same range
linwood IN A 206.111.111.1 ; all 3 hosts same range
linny IN A 206.111.111.3
lindy IN A 206.111.111.4
DESIRED ZONE FILE - addresses can be anything, unrelated to each other
linwood IN A 206.111.111.1 ; linwood in one city.
linny IN A 210.220.200.10 ; linny and lindy elsewhere,
lindy IN A 210.220.200.11 ; different ISP & addresses

Jeff,
I have a Compaq Deskpro EN that I use as a router with
two ethernet cards installed. Interestingly enough,
when I installed the second (the first is built onto
the motherboard), the system's bios gave it the same
IRQ as the existing card. The system booted fine. But
after I configured DHCP for the second card and went to
enable it, the whole system hung. I mean, no keyboard
control, not mouse control, no switchbox control (it's
on a KVM switchbox), and no power switch control (soft
power switch, I think)! The only thing I could do was
pull the power. The same thing happened when the system
was rebooted and eth1 was enabled at boot.
I investigated the BIOS, and lo and behold - both had
IRQ 11. So I set the IRQ for the new card to 10 and
everything worked fine.
How exactly the IRQ will be assigned on your system
will depend on the BIOS. I would recommend finding out
how to access it (it's usually via one of the function
keys or the delete key) and exploring the settings.
You can't do damage unless you save the settings :-).
Read the docs for your system, and they should tell
you what you need to do.

I just got SAMBA working on an HP-UX box. You almost certainly have one
of two problems: either your Unix password is mixed case (in which case
it won't go across the network properly) or you have NT Service Pack 3
installed, which causes the system to default to sending only encrypted
passwords across the network. If the latter, you need to edit the
registry on your NT system according to the instructions in
samba/docs/textdocs/WinNT.txt. It is probably easiest to transfer the
file samba/docs/NT4_PlainPassword.reg from your Linux to NT box and then
double-click on that file from File Manager. But I did it by hand.

This will work fine. DNS is not IP, and does not put any restrictions an

There is never a guarantee of packet arrival order on a routed
network, so anything that depends on UDP packed order is
already broken. However, Ciscos normally cache the routes for
a short time so subsequent packets to the same address take
the same path (unless you turn if off on the hardware that
supports fast switching).
