I am not sure of your network configuration... but ... first guess is you are
not useing a "private" IP number. If your internal subnet is the same as the
external then the addresses are confussed and won't resolve. If these are OK
then I would think that it might be a time-out issue. I hope that this leads
you in the right direction.

ok, sorry for the bother. think i figured some stuff out... my
/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd1 file was screwed up. i setup the local ip info, but
forgot to uncomment the lines (duh!). also found that you don't create
the /dev/eth0, ifconfig does during boot. if you need some help skip,
i'd be glad to keep in touch personally at my yahoo account
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). other stuff isn't working yet, but i got past the
eth0 stuff.

Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 02:11:37 GMT
I have a problem with modem connect speed too slow. (24K) is too slow.
I have RH 5.1, Pentium 166 with 32 meg ram, Cyclades 4 port YOP (PCI) card,
ttyC0 and C1 are connected to 2 external USR V.90 Sportsters. I have pppd
working fine and setserial set to spd_vhi. I have a 3Com card connected to my
Novell network which has MultiProtocol Router and a ISDN line conneted to my
ISP. I run POP3 on Novell side with no problem.
WHY, oh WHY can I not connect at a faster speed than 24K?? I use USR V.90
(NOT Winmodem) on BOTH ends but the speed is still 24K.
Could someone give me some links (or friendly) advice? I am open to any
Digital or analog solution.
I just need to be able to connect @ 40+K. I am using this box for POP3 and
Internet access just like any ISP would do. I work for a non-profit that
needs to give internet access to internal staff.
Please help. Thank you.

In the famous words of Homer Simpson: "DOH!"!!!
On a whim, I swapped cards from the #2 Linux machine into the Win95
machine, and now it transfers at 900,000+ kb/sec.
I just sent StarOffice from the Win95 box to Linux#1 in about 55secs.
I think it's working O.K.

Get a copy of the 3com configuration utility for the 3c509 card
(3c5x9cfg.exe), available at the 3com web site. Boot to Dos, then
run 3c5x9cfg. You will be able to set I/O port and IRQ, either
automatically, or manually, and perform some simple tests to verify
that the card is working. The auto-config option usually works
very well, automatically selecting ports and IRQ which are not used
by any other device.

Subject: Re: samba encrypted passwords
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 19:52:11 -0800
I found, after reading "samba integrating unix and windows" by john blair,
that the password file smbpasswd that was created with the command:
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >/etc/smbpasswd
had null or some kind of default password templates, it didnt write the
passwords off my /etc/passwd file into the new smbpasswd file it created.
What it had instead of the passwords were 32 X's (looks like
:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:) this file can be edited so I went in and
set the password to NO PASSWORD (looks like :NO
PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: the character string must be 32 characters
long so the X's are added after NO PASSWORD). Now the shares were available
in windows and I subsequently went in and changed the password from no
password to a good password in linux.

Subject: Port Forwarding and dynamic IP
Date: 23 Mar 1999 04:37:40 GMT
I have a single real IP, behind which I have my home network, with a
typical IP Masquarade solution. I would like to use port forwarding
to forward port 6001 on the outside machine to port 6000 on an inside
machine (so that I can make X connections to it from the outside).
Port forwarding appears to be the ideal solution. In fact, it works
great! I use a command line like:
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 123.45.67.89 6001 -R 172.25.5.218 6000
Now the only problem is that my IP number is dynamic--DHCP can change
it at any time. So for a robust solution, I need to somehow specify
'eth0' instead of the IP number currently assigned to it. I tried
using 0.0.0.0, which is sometimes used as a wildcard address, but it
doesn't work.
I can use `redir` in user space, but then I don't have control over
who connects to me (not that using xhost is all that secure, but
still).
The only other option I can think of is to do a two-step process where
I use fwmark to mark the packets, and then use `ipmasqadm mfw` to
forward them as desired. This seems more complicated than should be
necessary (but I'm building a new kernel now to test it).
Thoughts?

Get rid of them (perhaps back to your company) and buy yourself new cards,
that
if 10 MBit - are ISA-NE2000-compatible AND jumperconfigurabe,
if 100MBit - are PCI-cards with the Digital 21140-Chip on it (shoundn't cost
more than 20 $ each).
I only use on 10MBit : ISA - (old) Digital DEPCA-cards, Longshine 8634LCS
(NE2000),
PCI - Longshine 8034PTB (PCI-NE2000
with Realtec RTL 8029)
on 100MBit : PCI - Longshine 8038TXD (Dec 21140 - Tulip under
Linux)
and never had the trouble, many people with 3com-cards have.
You should only follow all those treads in several newsgroups,
where the kids are screeming about those cards.

Has anyone found a driver for this card? Mine is not the NE2000 compatible
model. The drivers from the Addtron site have "Linux" drivers. which were
written in 1996 and do not work AT ALL (read: won't even compile) with new
kernel and libraries.
I am running Redhat 5.2 with 2.2.3 kernel.
Please, has anyone had success with getting this to work?

Hi Gilles !
I use Slack 3.6 and i recently installed the kernel 2.2.3 and
for now it works very fine.
I have some questions for you.
1. What version of kernel are you using and what version of kernel you want to
recompile ?
If you have the 2.0.35 then try to patch it to 2.0.36 and recompile it.
2. Do you have the latest XFree 3.3.3.1 or you have the 3.3.2 which comes with
the dist. ?
If you have the 3.3.2 you have to download at least the Xserver from suse
(www.suse.de)
which has the support for the Matrox G200 and Millenium II AGP.
