DHCP client retrieving 2 IP's
Hi, I recently installed Debian v2.2r3 and I installed the DHCP client as well.. when debian boots, DHCP assigns eth0 an IP (which it is supposed to do, in this case 192.168.1.4) then it also assigns the loopback (/dev/lo) an IP (192.168.1.5). If I look at my DHCP clients table on my DHCP server, it lists both IPs with the both of them having the same MAC address as well. Can anyone tell me why it's retrieving 2 IP's? Thanks for your help, Aaron
restarting inetd
Hello, I am a former redhat, turned debian user, and was wondering if someone could inform me how to restart inetd... I am so used to redhat's /etc/rc.d/init.d/ scripts, that I've never started/stoped/restarted services any other way. By reading the inetd man page, I know you have to send it a SIGHUP, but I don't know the exact command. Could someone please help me out? Thanks, Aaron
getting telnet and ftp working
Thanks, to those that answered my previous question.. I have another question... the reason I wanted to restart inetd is because I am trying to get telnetd and ftpd working. I added the following entries to inetd.conf: ftpstreamtcpnowaitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd telnetstreamtcpnowaitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd restarted inetd: kill -HUP inetd pid then tried to do: telnet localhost which resulted in: Connection close by foreign host. ftp localhost resulted in: 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection Any ideas why this is not working? Thanks again for your help, Aaron
telnetd and ftpd solution
well, I found the problem... of course, 'twas my own stupidity that caused it :-) The hosts.allow file needs to have a newline after the last entry in order to work. If I wasn't half asleep, I would've thought to look in /var/log/daemon.log before I posted :-) Sorry, about the wasted bandwidth folks. Thanks to everyone who attempted to help, Aaron
Using linux 2.2.x with Debian 2.1
Hi, I have read the errata conscerning Linux 2.2.x and Debian 2.1 (http://www.debian.org/releases/2.1/running-kernel-2.2) and it basically said that I would have to mix the stable 2.1 release with unstable packages. Has anyone had any problems doing this? Or is it not necessary to do? What are some of your experiences running the 2.2.x kernel with Debian? Thanks, -- Aaron Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://iconmedia.com/aaron/
Setting up debian for ftp

Re: ATA-3 drives
For ATA drives, you need a special ISA card. My HD (Maxtor 3.5) supports it, but I haven't bought the add-on card yet. It supposed to be superFAST (I think almost as fast as SCSI). I think the card is around $70 from CompUSA. Britton wrote: I am looking at buying another system myself. I have never heard of ATA though. Is it something I should want, or just more hype?

RAMDISK boot error

Re: samba
Are you saying that with I can use any protocol (IPX, TCP/IP, or NetBEUI) with Samba on the win95 box?

Does Win95 view the samba connection as TCP/IP or NetBEUI? It uses TCP/IP. It's simple. NetBIOS runs on top of either IPX, NetBEUI or TCP/IP. Simply 'bind' TCP/IP to 'Client for Microsoft Networks', set up Samba and the computers can see each other. Especially on large networks, TCP/IP is a much better protocol to use than the other two. If you only have two Windows computers NetBEUI is the easiest to set up, but that protocol was 'designed' to be used on small networks only.

Re: Wow, and some questions
Alan Woo wrote: Hi, i was amazed at the help i got from you people at this list, i got a message about 20 minutes after i asked a question. That was amazing, thanks to all who helped. Anyways, things will hopefully soon be sorted out, and i will soon be a new linux user. I have very little knowledge of linux though, so i have a few questions. (i'm going to buy a book soon). 1) I am incredibly knowledgable in Win95/NT. will i be able to run both Operating Systems if i partition my hdd? Yes. You can have 2 partitions, one Win95, one Linux. 2) how do i install it (just a quick overview, i've read over the installation a lot, and it is really difficult to understand, for me...) Check out: ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/stable/disks-i386/current/install.html 3) i'm in! it's AMAZING (i'm assuming), how do i set up communications for a win95 compatible modem? Now that i have it, can i download a web browser for it from win95 then open it in linux? or is disk format totally different? - if so, what do i do? About the modem... As long as the modem isn't a winmodem, you'll have no problem. If it is a winmodem, it won't work in Linux. Debian automatically detects your modem. About the filesystem... The two filesystems are totally different. You can still access your Win95 drive through Linux as long as the drive isn't FAT32. To do this, add the following to your /etc/fstab file: /dev/your_hd_partition /where_you_want_to_mount_itmsdos defaults 0 0 4) What productivity software is available? (word processing etc) Linux supports such products as: Word Perfect, StarOffice (office suite), The GIMP (Photoshop like app), plenty of apps for spreadsheets, etc. Thanks so much all, have a great holiday season!

Re: setting up a cable-modem
The card is made by General Instruments. The TV cable does go into the back of the card. In my house, we have only 1 cable box, and that's in the living room. My linux box is in my room. So there's no cable box within 25 feet of my computer. I read the cable-modem mini-HOWTO and it says that linux supports my ISP (MediaOne). The HOWTO says that it will detect the card, then use DHCP to talk with the 'net. I can't even get Linux to detect it. Debian won't detect it on boot, so when the boot prompt comes up, I type: linux ether=11, 0x300. This does not work either. Any ideas? George Bonser wrote: Right, but I will bet you it is an internal PnP ehthernet card. As for as I know so far, nobody is making internal cable-modems ... in other words, I will bet that the TV cable does not plug into it, I will bet that the cable company gave you a different cable box and there is a separate cable between that box and the computer ... that is probably an ethernet coax.
