Re: Converting or reading Ether Card Address from Hex

I am using the x-Kernel daemon to add support for my Ethernet card. I am asked to provide an address. To do this, I queried my card using it's supplied software, anyone know how to either read it's card address or convert the address from what I got from the program as it's address: 00 A0 76

Re: Converting or reading Ether Card Address from Hex

Boy, I feel silly then. Yes, I've been through many of the HOWTO's on usr/docs/HOWTO and guess still don't quite get it... How would you recommend doing this using Ethernet..? Is there a specific HOWTO addressing this situation? In that case then, what is the IP address going to be set at?

Re: Why can't telnet localhost 110?

What's the rpm that should be installed for pop3? I just checked my inetd.conf and pop3 lines aren't commented out yet I can't telnet to the pop3 port (as seen in an earlier posting). Cya, Pete sig under construction -- From: Keith Schoenefeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

partitioning?

Hi everyone, I'm going to pull down my liux box and make a few modifications and then reinstall from scratch. The harddrives I have are mostly SCSI with an IDE drive. What I would like to hear is what the more seasoned players suggest for mounting the partitions and where. The drives are: 3

Re: commands without confirmation

You might already have the answer to this, but check the .bashrc file and you will find that an alias has been setup with the -i option. No doubt to protect us newbies.. :) Cya, Pete sig under construction -- From: Jim Kannengieser [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:

telnet from win95

Hi Everyone, I'm telnetting from the win95 machine using the win95 telnet client, needless to say that it's ugly, but I'm having a problem with setting the screen length. Mainly, I have no idea just where to set it up. The other thing to consider is that I use the same account to log on the

Adding an extra harddrive

Hi, Just did 'fd' and I see that my /usr is at 97%, that's mostly due to the limited amount of room I had to start with when I installed RH5. I can add on another 200MB SCSI drive and use all of that for /usr but what's the steps here for making sure that I don't loose all that's in /usr now?

Re: Just can't connect

If this is the case, I believe the ping command in (c) is trying to use DNS to resolve the name and gets no answer, so it waits until this timeout is exceeded. I think addresses in the 10.* range are private class A addresses, for which no internet-accessible name server should provide

Multiple names

Hi everyone, Since I only have the one Linux box and I want it to do a number of tasks, email DNS, that sort of thing, how do I set up the machine wtih multiple names? I ask this as I was setting up the DNS stuff and the example I was looking at used mailhost.domain.etc and ns.domain.etc .

start up questions

Hi everyone, Just need a quick pointer on where linux goes when booting up, I want to get rid of the realplayer stuff I included when I installed RH5. Something like the autoexec.bat I guess. I have done a rpm -e rvplayer and it seemed to have gotten rid of it, but it's still loading up in the

samba?

Hi everyone, I'm going to ask a really stupid question. Do I need to setup samba to get a win95 machine and a linux machine to ping each other? I ask this as I'm having a lot of problems just pinging between the two, but as yet I haven't setup samba on the linux box. Also, when running

NIC diags...

Hi everyone, I'd like to know if there is a generic NIC diag program out there for Linux? The reason that I ask is that I doubt that it's a hardware problem with the network, more a conflict with settings. I tested the 3com card with a dos program and it worked fine, I have checked out the

irq problem?

Hi, I just read a message that refered to a command called dmesg. So I tried this out on the linux machine. The out put of dmesg must show the boot up (I haven't read the man page yet) but I noticed somethng that could cause me some problems latter. I'm running an old 8 bit 3com card a 3c503

I'm lost

Hi, I have a 2 PC lan at home, one win95 the other linux. I might have jumped into the deep end here when I installed RH5 I included DNS and a whole host of other things as I hope to set the linux box up as an email and newsgroup server and also do IP Masq. I'm very new to Linux about 3 weeks

win95-dialup nw-linux

Hi everyone, I have a linux machine setup and a win95 machine that I use DUN to connect to my ISP. This will probably stay this way for some time to come. I can't figure out how to setup the adapter on the win95 machine so that it talks to the linux machine with out causing problems with the

Linux Usage

Hi everyone, Wishing to re-capture my 'glory days' when I used to use a dial in shell account, I went out and bought ver5 of the redhat linux dist. I pretty much read the whole of the installation guide that comes with the package, I even managed to install Linux no worries. I have put
