Subject: Compaq DeskPro XL & AMD Lance Network Card
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 15:01:12 GMT
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a network card on a Compaq DeskPro XL with Red Hat 5.2.
The XL has a built in AMD Lance chip. The Ethernet-HOWTO says:
>The problem with this Compaq machine however is that the PCI directory is
>loaded in high memory, at a spot where the Linux kernel can't (won't) reach.
>Result: the card is never detected nor is it usable (sideline: the mouse won't
>work either)
Well, my mouse does work, but I can't get the card to be detected. Rather that
muck about and get that card working I thought I would try another card.
The question is, will another PCI card (Like a 3Com 3c905) have the same
problem? Do I need to go to a ISA card?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Simon

What version kernel does work with the 3c905b? I run slackware and
kernel 2.0.35. It seemed to work but would come up in 100baseT instead
of 10baseT. I couldn't get it to switch back.

An easy and cheap solution would be to create a multi-user, file
server based Access application that the maintenance and shop workers
can access from any terminal. They would fill out 'forms', print work
orders, fill out the results section of completed work. You could
then just pull reports or check to see if they completed data entry.
If they don't want to do the data entry stuff, have them print out the
work order and fill in the blanks by hand. You would then have to
enter this data into your database before generating reports.

put a check in the log on to NT domain

Now it will try to verify your password with the "nt" (linux + samba)

question: Is or was there an NT machine on the network when you set up
samba?. The reason I'm asking is, I have linux running samba as the
domain controler verivying passwords and acting as a file server. The
linux machine did show up in my network neighborhood. I hooked up an
NT machine and linux decapeared from network neighborhood fo good. I
have since got rid of the NT machine but linux never re-appeared AND
all workstations weather signed on or not appear in network
neighborhood make it difficult to use. Linux still validates
passwords and acts as the file server, you just need to know the name
of the machine and shares to access them.

Of COURSE I want to answer it! No I'm certainly not! Furthermore, I

It doesn't piss me off at all. It just makes me wonder about the
interogator. <g>
My own attitude is that if you really want to look into my underwear
drawer, go ahead, it's your own tough luck. Personally, I can't see
how 'privacy' has improved my life in any way. I try not to do things
in private that I would be ashamed to do in public. (Except for the
obvious stuff, like sex and other biological functions, which OUGHTN'T
to be done in public. But I would hope enough common sense will
prevail to exclude those things from the discussion.)
If you need YOUR privacy, then go ahead and fight for it. That's fine,
I'm just curious about folk's thoughts on it.
My fault, I know, but I still don't quite get the jist.

If anybody can help it would be much appreciated:
In /usr/src/linux/net/core/sock.c, if the TCP send or receive buffer
size is
changed using a SO_SNDBUF or SO_RCVBUF parameter in setsockopt(), the
buffer

makes
no sense to me, but clearly the application should get the buffer size
that
it requests, and not twice that size. Taking the '*2' out of the max()
function should easily fix this. If there is some obscure reason why
this
is left in, please explain it to me.

What script are the variables being declared in?
Have you tried replacing the variable names with the actual values?
Maybe if you post the scripts in which the variables are being declared,
and the rc.firewall script someone will be able to find your problem.
AFAIK intip and extip are not declared by default in any Linix distro,
unless you add them to your startup scripts.

Subject: Looking for NAT for Linux
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 12:34:16 -0500
To Linux Netter,
Currently, I am using Windows NT 4.0 Server with the NAT to attach my local
network to the Internet through a 56K dial-up as follows:
Internet 56K
<---+ Local Dial-up
| To ISP +---------+
+------------+NT Server+------+-----------+----. . .------+
+---------+ | | |
+----+----+ +----+----+ +----+----+
|Linux Box| |Linux Box| ... |Linux Box|
+---------+ +---------+ +---------+
What I would like to do is to replace the NT server with a Linux server. I
am
wondering if there exists a Network Address Translation (NAT) for Linux?
If you have done such thing through a NAT or other means and would like to
shed some light in helping me to replace my NT server box with a Linux
server,
I certainly would appriciate your help. Thank you in advance.
