Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 12:33:12 -0400
Hi,
I recently got ADSL from my phone company, but all they support (and sell
anymore) is USB or PCI internal modems. Everything I have seen about making
ADSL work with Linux has been based on using an external modem with an
ethernet interface. Can't afford it right now, gotta try to make what I have
work.
I have not been able to find any drivers for the 3060 card. Is there
anything like it I might adapt?
Trying another tack, any chance I could run windoze in an emulator, run the
ADSL drivers under that, and somehow get a connection out to Linux?
Any ideas?

I have the Red Hat installed into the computer and used to use the floppy
disk to boot into the linux system. Now I have the problem with my floppy
disk drive and I can't boot into the linux. Any alternative way to boot into
thge linux system. I can't install the lilo boot loader into the MBR, may be
caused by the 1024 cylinder issue.

I want to work with a team on the same files with the same rights. What is
the best way to do this ?
What I do now is: I am the owner and give rights to the group. Whoever they
can't use chmod to change user rights to make a file executable, or when
they make a new file, I am not able to write into it ?
So would like that the group is the owner and not a user when a file is
created in a certain directory. Is something like this possible ?

Thank you. I found the first one referred to a lot on the web, but
not the second method.

Sorry, it is RH6.2, and yes this was the answer. I don't understand
why this wasn't installed in the installation. I'm assuming ssh is
preffered.

[cjw44@riva ~]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom

Is this really true? Surely it just means that /dev/cdrom is pointing to
the wrong place (in which case use 'ln' to fix it)?

Well, since the same system worked before adding a secondary NIC, chances
are good that this doesn't have anything to do with the problem. It could
be a cable problem, though (maybe inadvertently pulled off of its socket).

Try unplugging the NIC for the cable modem, and try again. If it works now,
you'll have to move around the PCI cards until all cards get an IRQ of
thier own. Disabling the NIC alone won't help you, since it's the system's
BIOS that assigns the IRQs onto the installed PCI cards/slots . The AHA2940
series doen't really like sharing interrups.

Try giving the directory the group you want, and setting the
set-group-id bit (g+s) on that directory.

Hello all,
I just installed and compiled mysql and PHP3 (both with all default
values), each of them work properly, meaning .php files (with Apache)
are parsed fine and mysql works with their own tools, but when I try
to connect to my mysql database I get an error because PHP expects the
Unix-socket of mysql at /tmp/mysql.sock during mysql writes the .sock
file to its home directory (/var/lib/mysql/).
What can I to to either convice PHP to use that socket (it is not
hardcoded in my PHP Scripts or the config files) or tell mysql where
to put its .sock?
Many thanks in advance for any help,

No. External ethernet is it, sorry.

Very doubtful. VMware seems to be the best. About $100 or so for that,
but it can't deal with hardware that is unavailable to the host OS
AFAIK.

Look for used external, ethernet modem.

If your modem or fax supports distinctive ring, you can use this
(~$3/mo) to direct the calls. There are devices that will listen
to the sound and switch the line to the appropriate device
(~$100).

Hi !
I have Linux running off a Disk On Chip. With only 24 MB space for Linux
I built my own File System (hardcore selecting what I need and what I
don't) and got it up and running. Network configuration worked fine
except for DNS, wich I can't get to work. I have my DNS Server (remote)
mentioned in the /etc/resolv.conf File, but I can't even ping the hosts
in my local Network I specify in the /etc/hosts File.
As I said, the rest of the networking is fine, I can ping inside and
outside my local network (routing works).
my questions are:
- are there any Files I could have missed when I built my file system
that
could cause these problems (!!ONLY!! with DNS) ?
- Is it possible that I compiled Name Resolution out of my Kernel
(Net device is a module), have heard that name resolution is
built into the Kernel, but haven't found any Information on it ?
- Can anybody think of other possible causes (solutions!) for my problem
??
Please anyone help me on this, I've been going mad over it for days!

are you using RH? you must alias your eth1 to
the 3c509 module in /etc/conf.modules (modules.conf)
file.
ie alias eth1 3c509

How do I set Lotus Domino to automatically run on system boot when
installed on
RedHat Linux 6.2
The Lotus Install doesn't set this during the install.
Thanks,
Ant.

I need to know if there is a port of Windows media player to Linux or
anything that emulates it. I'm wanting it so that I can stream audio from
online radio stations and most of them require Windows Media Player.

thats changed.
http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html
will be the new place.
although there is a redirection for http access.
you should use the http url I gave you above to find the update.
Only the new version will recognise your card !
you downloaded a version from december 1999, and that had no idea of the
card you use.

you do not need to restart the system
just run "ifconfig eth0" to see if its found
if the ethernet card is found, the eth0 device will start to work.
also run "dmesg" to see what the driver told you .
you can then run the script to configure the network again
eg /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this vendor id and device id tells me its a very new version of the chip.
kernel 2.2.15 didnt support it, and neither did the tulip.c you downloaded.
you will need to get the tulip.c from the new site.
there will be line near the top which says ....
"tulip.c:v0.92 4/17/2000 Written by Donald Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
you will that or something newer to support that card.

If this is coming from your server then it is using pap or chap.
If you are trying to connect to an isp then this is for you.

It is difficult to see what your problem is without the full info.
