DISCLAIMERI own one of these Linksys Adapters and it works fine, although I have a static IP/DISCLAIMER I think the point that the first poster was making is that the driver doco explicitly states that there is an issue. So his point to avoid the tulip (10/100 Linksys) board is valid. Hardware

Host-only with IP-Masquerading or Proxie/firewall on the Linux side. I believe there is a walkthrough on VMWare's site for getting the IP Masquerade to work in your situation. You will most likely need DOS drivers for your network in Win3.1. -Original Message- From: Benjamin Sher

I assume by the part number that those models are high-voltage DIFFERENTIAL SCSI adapters. You can't mix single-ended and high voltage differential SCSI components without letting the factory smoke out. (and for those who didn't understand the last sentence: if you've got SCSI you are 99%

Another thought on this... In response to an earlier, valid comment that the SCSI adapter may not be bootable: The failure mode doesn't match. His BIOS would have kicked up a fuss that no SCSI boot device found and then proceeded to try booting an IDE device. Also, your drive is bigger than

I don't think your issue is compiling the module into the kernel. I think it is a corrupt boot sector or the /boot partition is past the 1024 cyl limit. Did you remove all IDE drives from the system? I had problems with the BIOS on my machine here at work with having both an IDE and SCSI

My understanding is that PCI works on the concept of interrupts A, B, C, and D. Your BIOS (PNP) then mates each of the letters to a numeric interrupt we all know and love, generally through a ritual akin to voodoo. On my motherboard (ASUS P3B), the manual states that the AGP slot, USB, and PCI

First of all, is it safe to say that basically, all Linux distributions are about the same? It looks as though the only real differences between the distributions deal with the installation process and the choice of packages that each company chooses to include, is this true? And

There is a big difference, actually. On a cable modem, your home computer is part of a large ethernet segment. Any user can sniff your packets because everyone's data appears on the other user's ethernet port. A dialup system, however, has a separate router port for every dialup. The
