Re: mysterious problem with NICs, isapnp, and modutils
ahahahahahahahaha
Yeah Actually there is a misterious config file.
IF! you gave modconf an argument to pass to the module. like IRQ=5
If you did, then the file you seek to distroy is in
/etc/modconf/{name of device] or it could be /etc/modules/[name of
device]
I'm at work now and I don't have debian handy. ARG
!
hope you get it to work. I had the darnedest time
trying to get my sb.o module to work. the only time it would work is when I
setup my card to use IRQ 5 and only 5. even if i passwd the driver an IRQ=7 or 6
the driver would only work with the sound card and the driver talking on irq 5.
I hope you don't have the same problem with the NIC's arg I wasn't a happy
camper.

Subject: mysterious problem with NICs,
isapnp, and modutils
ok, this is driving me crazy.
first, let me catch you up to speed.
I am installing debian on a 486 with 2 NE2000 ISA
PNP NICs. During installation, I use isapnp to get one of them
initialized, and set it up as eth0 during the install. no
problems.
I set it up to use io 0x240 and irq
5
now, I use pnpdump and generate a new isapnp
file, go in and set up the two cards like this:
io 0x240 irq 3
io 0x280 irq 5
I edited the "ne" file in modutils to load eth0
and eth1, with the above settings.
I reboot, and the NE2000 module finds a card a
0x240, and then uses irq 5 for it?!?!?
At that point I had no working NIC
So I went back and set everything up to just use
one NIC, with io 0x240 and irq 3
still, the module tries to load the card as 0x240
and irq 5.
When I did the install of debian, did it create
some config file somewhere that I dont know about? Because I seem to be
making all the correct changes and my system is totally ignoring
them.
any ideas?
thanks

Re: please "lead" me into basic mailservice
Configure Fetchmail to get the E-mails and feed them to the accounts on your
Linux router.
then install an POP server ( I don't know what it's called sorry. do a
apt-cache search popd {OR} pop ) your users should be able to use pop to get
e-mail from their Linux accounts via pop.
Fetchmail : Get's E-mail from Multiple pop accounts and delivers them to
each Linux account on the machine.
Pop: Allows users access to there E-mail.Via a separate e-mail client
PS: This should be very easy to setup. Download, fetchmail. AND
fetchmailconf. Good docs and nice interface to setup fetchmail. oh. and the
config files are the easiest to understand an tweak. very cool program.
You can use Procmail to set up some funky filers, and do some much more
advanced Mail magic. but I've always had a hard time understanding the
config files. and have never used it.
Tell me how it works out. I'm gonna have to setup a full mail server with
sendmail and pop myself soon.

Yes most likely.you have to set you DNS nameserver in the "/etc/resolv.conf" file entry that looks like. nameserver 204.20.23.205 nameserver 204.20.23.206 ( If you have more that one DNS server for you ISP, Your ISP should have this info ) also is your computer on a network ? does it have a default route ? wvdial add a default route to the routing table. but it does not remove the first default route.
