What we have:
1. The physical connection to the hub is supposedly there, if link LEDs
light at both ends.
2. The network card MAC address (00:00:00:00:00:00) is sick. Check what
address is in the sticker on the card (6 hexadecimal bytes). Force it on the
card by adding to the ifconfig command: ether the-real-MAC-address, e.g.
ether 00:00:12:34:56:78.
3. There is no indication whether the network card works (pinging *any* of
your own addresses will not do: it is internally looped back).
4. IMHO, the routing is OK for this net.
What can be done:
Try to fire up tcpdump on another console (xterm or virtual console) and
ping etiher of the Apples.
tcpdump -nl | tee tcpdump.log
See if there is any life. There should be some ARP packets and then ICMP
echo packets and responses. Check if there are any interrupts on IRQ 9 (see
/proc/interrupts).

You might want to gzip the tar archive before sending it over the net.

I've felt that for a long time, but I think CUPS may be the solution.
It's not great for HP inkjets, but that's because HP doesn't provide
sufficient information. For Epsons, CUPS together with the driver
from gimp-print produces output that's about as good as the Windows
drivers. For real PostScript printers (like the HP we've got at
work), all you do is provide the PPD file (which you need Windows to
extract, of course), and you get all the features you'd get from the
Windows driver.

Subject: Accessing a Linux Partition on DOS/NT with Active Perl
Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 06:15:53 -0800
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sometime ago I had both NT an Linux booting from my machine. I managed to clobber
Linux and can no
longer access it. However, the partition for it looks alive and contains some C and
Perl source code
I'd like to retrieve. I'm thinking of doing it with ActivePerl, but have little
experience with it.
I do believe Perl has an open statement to get to a disk drive. When I last programmed
in Perl on
Unix some years ago, I recall being able to open a directory. Probably something like
open("/mydirectory", ...). I would expect ActivePerl under DOS/NT to have something
similar. For
example, open("C:",...) or something like open("E:\folderX"). Maybe there's something
like
pen("LinuxExt:H", ...). Once the directory is open it is then very easy to recursively
work one's
way through subdirectories and the files contained in each directory. So the question
is how does
one open a DOS folder in DOS/NT, and more to my particular concern, how does one open
a Linux
extension found on DOS/NT disk? open(/dev/hda3,...) ????

I got me a static IP address from my ISP. Then my host name became
known to DNS. The message you are getting seems to be true:
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ nslookup sabrina3.smithdomain
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
*** localhost can't find sabrina3.smithdomain: Non-existent
host/domain
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$
Why are you not using your own host name; i.e., 1hostplus.com , that
does exist?
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ nslookup 1hostplus.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

As for a direct answer to your question: I don't know whether there
exists a Windows or DOS tool to read Unix tar tapes.
But here's another approach.
Boot from a Linux Rescue diskette.
Mount a hard disk partition.
Restore your tar archive to that partition.
Reboot to NT and access the restored files.
In order for this to work, the hard disk partition must be a type
supported by NT *and* the rescue kernel. My rescue kernel (RedHat
6.2) supports VFAT, among others. If your NT filesystem is VFAT/FAT32
(not HPFS/NTFS) you're all set. Otherwise, create and format a
VFAT/FAT32 partition under NT, before doing the above steps.
This also assumes the rescue kernel contains the drivers for your hard
disk controller and tape drive.
