ppp problems
Hi, I'm using Debian Woody (kernel 2.2.20 and ppp version 2.4.1). I tried to connect to my ISP but until now I had no success. I have an external modem and I used pppconfig (chat protocol) to set the connection parameters. After I run the command: pon myprovider the modem find my ISP but after few seconds disconnect himself. This is what plog said about: Dec 26 08:32:37 dpc pppd[950]: Serial connection established.

ppp configuration (LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests )
Hi, I try to connect to my ISP using pppconfig. I put all corect settings (I tested in Windows and worked OK). Using plog I saw that the connection is established but after few seconds the modem hangs. The last message in plog is: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests I tried all three type of conections PAP, CHAT, and CHAP but the result is the same. My system is a Progeny with: ppp 2.4.0f pppconfig 2.0.5 kernel 2.2.19 (custom but I tried also with standard 2.2.18) Can you give me a clue? Thanks, Dan
Re: VMware and Debian
Thanks for answers but they don't solve my problem (but they are very good hints for later operations). I downloaded the VMware-2.0.4-1142.tar.gz from their site. I read the INSTALL file where it is written: To install/upgrade VMware for Linux, run the program vmware-install.pl. But I didn't find any file vmware-install.pl(only an uninstall file). Where did you find it? Dan

Toshiba Laptop and PCMCIA Xircom net card
Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200 with a Debian stable system but with 2.2.18 kernel (for USB). Everything works OK (even usb), but when I tried to to insert an PCMCIA Xircom Ethernet card (CBE2-100) the system hang up. The keyboard doesn't respond and I must hard restart the system. Five month ago the same system but with kernel 2.2.12 worked without problems with the same card. I tried with the old kernel but it doesn't work, it must be some PCMCIA packages upgrade which broke the system. My config files are standard except config.opts which has a clause: exclude irq 12 Please help me, Dan

Borland C specific libraries in Linux
Hi, Do you know if there are C libraries who mimic Borland Turbo C specific libraries (conio, etc.) in Linux (a Debian package will be better :-). At school my daughter use Borland C and I don't want to install Windows on my computer only for that. Beside emacs is a better tools for programming than Borland IDE :-) Thanks, Dan
Re: A conio for Borland C under Linux
David Teague writes: Dan I promised to try to find Linux conio for Borland. I found it in my archives. It is a 1996 reimplementation of conio for Linux, for Borland C of that date, but you might be able to make it work. If you do, please send me your hacks, or let me know if it does work for you. It is redistributable under gpl2. It isn't a debian package. It is a gzipped tar file that extracts ok. CAVEATS: I have NOT tried to use this and I have NOT compiled it. (Not recently enough that I remember it, anyways.) Lots of luck with this. David Thank you for the library. It needs some adjustments (I tried to compile it but it has an error to many arguments for wattr_get). When/if I succeed to make it work I will send you my modifications. Dan

free Interrnet provider for Linux and exim
Thanks everybody (and especially Tim Anderson) who helped me to find an free Internet provider for Linux. I succeeded to connect to worldshare.net. Now I have an other question. How can I use their outgoing server (smtp.worldshare.net) for relaying my email. In exim.conf I put: smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = * smtp.worldshare.net bydns_a but it isn't enough because I received the error message: 553 To send mail, first check your mail with a valid POP account; this prevents unauthorized SPAM relaying.

can't login with kdm
Hi, I can't login with kdm. I put the user name, the password, and the process of login is starting but after few seconds it returns to login screen. I can login in text mode, and startx works OK. Xdm works fine but gdm has the same behavior. This problem appears after some upgrade in potato two weeks ago. The kde I use is from kde.tdyc.com but I don't think is kde fault because before these potato upgrades the same kde version worked OK. Thanks, Dan Pomohaci

Re: help for samba.conf
illusion writes: I just managed to fix a similar problem myself. I could see the Samba server from the Windows machines, but couldn't browse the shares, although i thought everything was set up right. I had to add encrypted password support for the Win98 boxen on the network. Then I added the following lines to smb.conf: encrypt passwords = yes smbpasswd file = /path/to/smbpasswd preferred master = yes donain logons = yes Those lines basically turn the Samba server into the equivalent to an NT domain controller. I just had to set the windows networking to log into an NT domain to authenticate, and all works well now. I spent probably 8 hours this afternoon reading through the man page for smb.conf, the DOMAIN.txt that comes with the source tarball and countless daemon restarts before i figured this out. And it's all for the better because I don't have to put an NT server back up. Hope this helps Exist a method to create smbpasswd from the unix passwd file? Is it posible to have problems if the passwords are case mixed? (the clients are mainly Win95 boxes). -- | Dan N.
