Does `ipchains -L input` report any firewall rules that we're not
seeing?

Hi,
I have this Compaq ISA ISDN card which I can't get running. I guess the
card ran under Windows (i.c. with Teles 16.3 driver) with IRQ 3 and IO
addresses 2280-22BF, 2580-259F and 21A0-21A0. It identificates as
"Compaq ISDN S0 ISA Card".
With pnpdump I get these configurations:
(IO 0 (SIZE 64) (BASE 0x2000) (CHECK))
(IO 1 (SIZE 32) (BASE 0x2100) (CHECK))
(IO 2 (SIZE 1) (BASE 0x2180) (CHECK))
(INT 0 (IRQ 9 (MODE +E)))
(IO 0 (SIZE 64) (BASE 0x2000) (CHECK))
(IO 1 (SIZE 32) (BASE 0x2100) (CHECK))
(IO 2 (SIZE 1) (BASE 0x2180) (CHECK))
(INT 0 (IRQ 3 (MODE +E)))
(IO 0 (SIZE 64) (BASE 0x2180) (CHECK))
(IO 1 (SIZE 32) (BASE 0x2480) (CHECK))
(IO 2 (SIZE 1) (BASE 0x2090) (CHECK))

(IO 2 (SIZE 1) (BASE 0x21a0) (CHECK))
(INT 0 (IRQ 3 (MODE +E)))
All of these give the same problems:

Subject: FTP problem with RH 6.2, 7.0
Date: 19 Apr 2001 20:52:57 GMT
Hi...
forgive the "newbie-ish" of this question.
After upgrading our bandwidth, we decided to try and hop into the 20th (yes
20th) century by implementing our FTP server so clients and partners can
ftp directly to us, rather than sneakernet.
RedHat install went fine, both on 6.2 and 7.0
user accounts were created...
there is a problem once connected to the ftp server. it's the ftp server
included with RedHat wuftpd
users can connect to port 21, but it takes a LONG time to finally log into
their home directory. By long, I mean up to two minutes on occasion.
when I log onto other FTP sites, the most I'm seeing is about 10-15 seconds
top before the system lets me in.
this happens to all accounts,
thinking it was a latency problem, or packet loss, I attempted to log in
and ftp from within our lan, same problems on a little-used 100meg lan.
traceroutes and pings to our machines also show no packet loss or latency.
once in, also changing directories causes some major lag time in response.
I adjusted the nice level to -10, no discernable difference.
I'm assuming that there is a setting somewhere that might need to be
tweaked.
Since I'm somewhat of a newbie, let me know what other information I can
provide to the group, so that a more reliable diagnosis can be made.
BTW, maybe also where to find the info, newbie, remember!
thank you very much
Bill

Subject: problem getting at /dev/dsp
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 21:54:38 GMT
Hello,
I'm trying to get mpg123 to play as a regular user in debian 2.2
/dev/dsp is in group audio, that I know. And it has the r and w bits of
the group field set, so anyone in the audio group should be able to read
from and write to it. I've done "adduser username audio", which
correctly added me to the group (I've verified). And yet it still won't
run as a regular user.
If I run as root, no problem. If I chmod o+w /dev/dsp, then there's no
problem either. It's only if I try to access what I should be able to
access that there's a problem.
Even an echo "test" > /dev/dsp doesn't work.
Does anyone know how this could even be ? Because I'm stumped.
Thank you,
Joeri Sebrechts

Subject: DHCP and Road Runner blues
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 22:04:27 GMT
Hello.
I am running Redhat 6.2, and I am tying to use it with Mediaone (Now
ATT) Road Runner service in the Detroit Metro area.
My problem is that my machine would not lease from the DHCP server. Of
course, the customer support was useless in this issue: "we don't
support Line-ucks".
I have researched this thoroughly, and have seen many people with the
same or similar issue, but every single one failed to document clearly
how they overcame this problem (if they did at all).
I dropped pump all together. I have the version that comes stock with
RH 6.2. (0.7.8-1). I downloaded the latest version of DHCPCD version
1.3.20-p10. I have gotten that to work -- but it only works about 10
percent of the time. 90% of the time (or so) it fails. The README for
this utility is not helpful at all. The howto I found was even worse.
When modifying the script of ifup an ifdown, it not only had the script
wrong, but it said to remove an "if" statement without touching the fi.
I am no scripting whiz, but I know you can't break conditionals like
that without trashing the script.
I modified ifup and ifdown, basically by replacing the pump commands
with their dhcpcd equivalents. Then, I wrote a script that loops the
ifup until it gets a lease. I put the script at the end of rc.local,
rather than having eth0 come up at init level 3. The net result is that
it runs through everything fine, and at the very last stage, tries to
bring up eth0 until it is successful. It take about 10 times plus or
minus.
(SIGH........)
What can I do to get this to work?
I really appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!
Chris

I have found a great way to avoid this whole problem, at least for
Win9x. I just put linux on my first HD, and windows on the second.
Then have lilo boot the second drive. the windows drive doesn't even
know anything weird is going on. Of course, this may not actually work
for w2k...

Currently I am dual booting from lilo 21,6 installed on a floppy. My only
hard disk is on a highpoint 370 RAID controller, IDE3 and recognised as
dev/hde by Linux. I am using SUsE 7.1 and whenever I try to configure lilo
get the message "only hda and sda allowed". Is there a way round this
problem, I note that lilo 21.7 is available. Motherboard is Abit 6BEII rev

You might try using Coyote-Linux. www.coyotelinux.com
It creates a boot floppy that theoretically deals with this issue. Haven't
tried it myself, because my cable modem uses "plain vanilla" DHCP with
reservations based on host name, but might be worth a look. I seem to
remember that the install script prompts you for "road runner login support"
or something similar.

Chris,
I had alot of problems getting my Optimum Online (comparable to RR)
cablemodem service up and running under linux. They key for me, was to
power the modem down for >30 minutes before trying to lease an ip with
linux. After rebooting w/ the powered up modem, it would re-read the mac
addy off the nic in the linux box and everythign would be fine. Then you
dont have to power down the modem again unless you switch the modem over to
another nic for some reason.
Basically, you have to powerdown the modem long enough for it to forget the
mac address of the nic for it to work.
Hope this helps.
