If it is detected, you dont need to disable PnP. If yo uwant to do that,
boot to DOS and use the 3c5x9cfg.exe util to disable pnp.

You can try using the pppd connect option this way:

where ttySx is the modem's device file. All on one line or eol escaped.
This is an ugly hack but it should be easy to try.
Read about the stty options in man stty. More than likely you'll have
to make this change manually. Not guaranteed either, I've not done this.

I live in a rather large city <Houston> and we have a lot of new and

better in the house. Also, they can be had for cheap from starving

Hubble is about the best brand, and they charge accordingly. Belkin
also has some good stuff. Make sure you also get real cat 5 cable, and
connect it right. If you don't understand what I am saying, hire someone.
Bad cables can be a miserable problem.

Linksys cards are a good buy. I've seen their 10/100baseT versions
on sale for $29.99 (sometimes about 12.99 after a rebate).
Work great after you tell them not to do PNP...

Subject: PPTP + Samba ? (and NAT)
Date: 09 Jun 1999 12:10:28 PDT
Does anyone have PPTP + Samba working on a Linux or FreeBSD box
such that Win95 clients can dialup the Internet via their ISP's and connect to
Samba on a remote Unix host (Linux or FreeBSD) as a SMB fileserver via
the PPTP VPN ?
Is there a better way to allow remote Win95 clients to dialup the
Internet and use a Samba host ?
FreeBSD: Does FreeBSD natd/IP aliasing handle PPTP or IPsec
correctly ? (I understand that Linux IP masq deals with PPTP and IPsec
correctly such that Win95 clients sitting behind a Linux gateway/NAT
can go out onto the Internet and connect up properly with a remote
host using PPTP VPN).
Thanks.

Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 03:08:18 -0400
I used Redhat 5.0(Kernel 2.0.32) + pppd 2.2.0 to dialup to my ISP. It works
well. Then I upgrade kernel to 2.2.1, obviously it doesn't work with pppd
2.2.0. (This point is very hard to be found in these Kernel documents). So I
also upgrade my pppd to 2.3.6 by following the instructions.
The nightmare is: I use the same scripts, same configuration and same dialup
number. This time the combination of kernel and pppd doesn't work. When I
try to call "pppd", the error message is:
"/usr/sbin/pppd: peer authentication required, but no suitable secret(s)
found
/usr/sbin/pppd: for authenticating any peer to us.(abc)"
"abc" is my logname to my ISP.
Why this happen? I do have a pap-secret file, and everything works just well
in the earlier version.
Actually, the funny thing is: when I just run "pppd", the same error message
still comes.
Thanks a lot, please email me.

Hi,
I have a ricochet modem that works fine with 1.3.x kernels (redhat 5.2,

works, traceroute works, and ping works, but nothing else. See below

====================================
I have the ppp connection that will not allow any services to work, but
does allow ping and traceroute to work. I have redhat 6.0. I ran
tcpdump and got

My address is 206.253.200.54. I entered ftp ftp.scenicsoft.com and it
checks the DNS to get the ip address of the ftp site.

Heh heh... yeah, right. MS gets away with it for a couple
reasons: a) they foist the support off onto OEMs, b) generally,
clueless Windows users know someone more knowledgeable than themselves
who can help them, and c) if things really go wrong, in some cases all
you can do is reinstall from scratch (or buy a new computer). I know two
people who (within the last month) had to reinstall Windows from scratch;
one bought a new computer because the old one was completely messed up.
(I tend to think b) is the most important of these... )
Having been witness to a few people who are brand new to
computers (I mean literally brand new), I conclude that most people do
not find Windows (and computers in general) "easy".

I remember watching TV after the Soviet Union fell... the

Woman: How do I know who to vote for?

The best advise I can offer is to use either NE2000-compatible or a 3Com
NIC (ISA/EISA/PCI). The NE2000-compatible can be purchased very
inexpensively and work flawlessly with Linux. If you intend to use
10-Base-T (RJ-45 CAT5) cabling you will need a hub unless you use a
cross-over cable instead of a straight-through cable. If you intend to
use 10-Base-2 (coaxial) cabling no hub will be necessary. Also,
depending where the two computers will be located relative to each other
in the house, there are a number of network kits available which allow
you to utilize the electrical wiring in the house as the transmission
conduit. Unfortunately, I tossed out the printed issue of The Computer
Paper (TCP) (http://www.tcp.ca1999/9905/toc/) containing articles on
these products.

No, not too many apps. Too much duplication of the same idea. Most of these
menu items are duplicates or triplicates. And some point to outdated devices,
like Red Hat's Control-Panel, which even they don't use anymore.

Hello,
Regarding your proxy server problem:
try to use IP address instead of Internet name for your proxy server.
While online: nslookup name.of .your.proxy
This will give you an IP address of that server.

I use LInux 2.0.32. Where can I get the driver? And the install
instruction?
I follow the instruction in
"http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/modules.html" :
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -O6 -c driver.c
It doesn't work, said I should use the correct options to compile.
Any idea? THanks in advance.
