I have a ZyXEL Omni TA128 wich causes me the same problems as many other =

these days; ppp-2.3.x produces problems in that one can`t ping anything o=

local machine/network. I get mine up-and-running by replacing ppp-2.3.5-1=
(RH

t not
with the 2.1.x, so kernel 2.2 is out of reach for me :-((
It is obvious that is is my ZyXEL TA who produces my problems, because if=
I use
the same ppp (2.3.5) on an old analog modem, everything is pure joy !
What is the main diff. between ppp-2.2.0f and 2.3.x ?

How about a happy medium. The purpose of putting nospam in your return
address is to keep from getting spam. I think a standard of
<nospam.realuserid@realdomain> would meet this requirement. Everyone would
know who sent the message. But just addiing this to a mailing list would not
work. It should then be illegal to remove the nospam prefix for purposes of
adding the user id to a mailing list.

Why do you think there'd be a need for a kernel patch? Sounds like a
keymap patch and a console font patch to me.
Why do you think this is a networking issue?

Hi !
I downloaded a 2.1.132 and a 2.2.0-pre5 and took a look at them both,
but what i get is a lot of trouble with my eth0 cards...
instead of getting Tx, I only get error's ... but the connections seem
right. If I type 'ifconfig' I see all good Rx stuff, but the Tx stuff
is only errors and no good. I use RedHat 5.1. Did I forget something
to upgrade, or did I forget to compile somthing for in the kernel?
2.0.34 works just fine
btw. I have a ide zip, and scsi emu on for my writer. but now the zip
becomes a scsi drive too, and I can't find it anymore!!! please tell
me what device I should be using or where to find it what the right
device it is. And why does a zip drive change from /dev/hdd1 to
/dev/hdd4 and back when I eject a disk? (if I put in the same that was
ejected, this doesn't happen).

I'm running Redhat 5.2 and everything works fine - "locally". All
network services (ftp, telnet, www etc) answers on calls I make from
Linux itself (both to loopback and eth0). I then connected my laptop
(using ethernet) to build a small LAN (no hub, but cross over cable). As
soon as I got the routing table right I was able to ping in both
directions, and both machines can ping themselves. But when I try to
reach the Linux-box from the laptop with telnet, ftp or the web browser,
nothing happens. The Linux doesn't seem to even register the incoming
request.
I've read EVERYTHING (man's, HOWTO's, news etc) but I feel pretty unique
having this specific problem. Anyone that can push me in the right
direction? Linux is about to ruin my weekend here...

Hey folks -
I have a Linux box here at home that's connected to an ISP and running the
appropriate IP Masq'ing drivers. I tried running Quake2 on my Windblows
box to connect to games on the Internet, but I ran into some massive
latency. While connected, I'd get quake ping times of 999, and naturally,
the game was unplayable. It didn't matter where I'd go or even how many
other players were connected.
>From both the Windblows box and the Linux box, pinging any of th Q2 servers
would result in a normal 200ms or so. So I'm wondering if there's something
I'm missing, configuration wise, on the Linux box? I tried loading the
ip_masq_quake.o object, hoping that would help. It didn't. Any other
suggestions?
The Linux platform is RH5.2 right out of the box, including the kernel
(2.0.36.)
Thanks.

Is the linux box set to use the same NT gateway as the other machines on
network 1? It sounds like it isn't. If it is, the NT machine will
route the packets just fine through to the other network as long as it's
accepting packets from the address of the linux box. Check to see what
the gateway address is set to on the linux box, it should point to the
nt server that's acting as a gateway between the 2 networks.

This particular wheel is currently still being invented. Only very
recent DNS software supports dynamic update and AFAIK the RFC covering
dynamic DNS and DHCP interoperation is still in the IETF draft stage.
There may be experimental DHCP servers implementing the draft
specification.

Are you absolutely sure about this ???? Assuming that the routing on
your box is not hopelessly messed up traceroute should resolve the FQDN
and then route the packets accordingly. IMHO this is an incorrect answer
as stated.

IIRC, the default behavior is as you describe. But you can
change that so it will download all new articles since the last
time you fetch-ed by tweaking one of the config files. I found
that fetch was just too slow for me so I've left my OS/2 news

If you have an NT server on that network, chances are that it is acting as
the domain master browser. If not, and it's all just windoze machines, check
the network properties of each. Look at the properties for file and printer
sharing. You'll see a property for 'Browse Master' which can be set for
automatic, enabled or disabled. If you want your Samba server to be the
browse master, set this to disabled. Good luck!

Subject: PPP: Serial line looped back...
Hey all,
Over the last week or so, my linux machine has been having trouble
establishing my ppp0 connection on the first try using a script from
/etc/ppp/ppp-on (ppp-2.2.0). The dialup line is never busy, as I always
can connect using another modem/machine setup.
I checked /var/log/messages, and found I was getting a statement:
ppp <-> ppp0
Serial line looped back.
Connection terminated.
I recently removed the machine from my LAN and disabled the ethernet
card (giving the machine to my sisters for internet connection), and as
of now, can never connect using my old scripts. Odd thing is, when I
activate the device using netcfg, I can connect no problem. So, long
story short, how can I get rid of this 'serial line loopback'?
Thanks a bunch,

Define "garbage" - all the stuff you've included looks correct.

Why? What route?

I am sure you have it wrong.

You have omited to say what address range to route to this gateway.
If this is the default route (i.e. the whole IP address range) then
say so.
route add default gw 24.0.132.1 dev eth0 metric 1
Note: IMNSHO specifying values for both "gw" and "dev" is a bad
thing. If your kernel would infer the wrong interface from the
address then that in itself is a problem and should be fixed.
What is wrong - appart from no nameserver access? Can you ping your
gateway? Can you ping the nameserver?

You will also want diald in addition to IP-masquarade. Diald is a daemon that
will automatically dial the internet and disconnect after a specified time
period.

check the ownership and permissions on the shared directory. If the
permissions on the Linux side are not correct, you will get a permission
denied to creating anything.

Are you kidding? I have linux NFS transfers in the range of 70-80% of
the nominal
rate. I the lines are busy, then we are talking about something else of
course.
Ftp transfers are usually close to the nominal range minus protocol
overhead.
Sure, if you are sending a lot of small packets then you'll se a huge
protocol
loss. Sending 1 byte data over ethernet will waste lots of bandwidth.
(something of the order of 1/100 or less compared to nominal bit rate)
