Subject: Using linuxconf to set up a LAN...
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 19:32:44 GMT
My eth0 device was working before I decided to tweak it with
linuxconf. Now, on bootup, the kernel no longer detects it, and I get
this message:
Finding module dependencies
conf:4: missing module argument.
I also get a bunch of errors dealing with other network services.
I have tried reverting to the original settings in linuxconf, but that
doesn't help.
The Linux kernel is Linux-Mandrake, version 2.2.x. I'm trying to
setup two computers, one which is running Linux (server) and the other
one is running Windows 98 (client). Here are the settings:
[Linux Server]
I.P. Address: 192.168.0.1
Host: 192-168-0-1
Domain: .192-168-0-1
[Windows 98 Client]
I.P. Address: 192.168.0.3
Host: 192-168-0-3
Domain: .192-168-0-1
I have neither routing nor DNS services enabled.
The connection is RJ-45 crossover cable. It works when both machines
are running Windows 98, but I can't seem to ping any one of the two
machines when it is a Linux-Windows 98 configuration. At this point,
I'm not concerned with running Samba and getting the Linux machine to
appear as an icon under Windows 98's Network Neighborhood.
Thanks.
Regards,
Benson
P.S. I'm new to the world of Linux.

Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 19:41:56 GMT
I have been running a linux box on a token ring network for some time
now and I have been getting these same two messages all the time. They
don't appear to be the result of any big problem, i have no network
problems.
the error i keep getting is:
tr0: xmit ret_code:23 xmit error
the other which isn't an error( i think ) is:
tr0: New ring status: 20
If anyone knows what these mean and if there a problem i would
appreciate any information.
also I'm running kernel 2.0.34, does the latest kernel offer better TR
support or bug fixes?
thanks
Paul

I might like to add to this... I use netmeeting with a little
program called ipautofwd ( ip auto forward ).
Works well with netmeeting and pcanywhere.
There's a little howtoo on it at http://www.nerdsnetwork.com/unix.htm

I don't know much about Netmeeting or anything, but I happened to

have a free software thing for proxying Netmeeting.
There's a linux download.

I've looked at the ipfwadm man page, the Firewall howto and the NET-3
howto and none of them define these two commands or explain how they are
different. Anyone know the answer?

(http://personal1.iddeo.es/ret005lc/diald-win-e.html#runnamed) that
describes how you can force named to restart (the desired effect is to clean
the cache) whenever diald closes the ppp connection.
Why would you want to flush the cache every time dial hangs up
the whole thing with a cache i to keep lookup local to the cache and
not have the phone line up for the same inquires over and over
That makes no sense at all !!! If you want to forward all lookups
just use you isp's name server and don't even run naamed.

How do I istall it in linux?
Do I have to reinstall RedHat?
I must somehow add the card - but where?
read Ethernet-HOWTO.
You don't need to reinstall REDHAT, let it find the card at the
boot time, or give the card's irq and base as a parameter at lilo
promt (or in conf.modules). RedHat has no problems with ne2000.
WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN LILO??

mars_nwe 0.99.pl13
RH Linux 5.1/2.0.35
It's really a shame, I've come this far in getting mars_nwe to work, only to
learn that it doesn't provide any security (that I noticed anyway). Or
perhaps it does, but I've yet to find any detailed reference to it. I've
tried using SYSCON from a workstation - it SEEMS to work. It lets me set
user's trustee rights in a given directory, or make them part of a group with
such rights. I have the -t flag on the volumes in question. Then I log in as
that user and I get the most unpredictable behavior. Some times it lets them
see files and directories belonging (as SYSCON sees it) to other users, even
created by other users. I don't mean just file scan rights, but full
read/write access. I've tried setting various default create permissions for
each volume, presently using 711 for directories and 600 for files. I've
tried both a root and non- root supervisor. Deleted the bindery and trustee
directories. With groups and without. I haven't even tried security
equivilances, so that's not the problem.
Still, Any user can often see other user's files, read, write, create and
delete them. On more than one occassion, the same user COULD NOT see their
own files! The only reason I need mars_nwe is because the the UGO rights that
Linux provides don't allow me to place a person into more than one group (at
a time) or allow rights to a file by more than one group.
I'm thinking it's time to ditch this program and take a closer look at Samba.
It's more of a pain to do that way, but at least it works. I'd really like to
see this mars_nwe work, but I need some details, and perhaps an explanation
of how this happened so I can avoid security problems in the future. I've
searched USENET and WWW, but I guess I'm using the wrong query, because
nothing useful turns up.
Help?
