Ah, I think the problem is that both NICs are on the same subnet. It's funny, I had this discussion last Saturday at my local LUG... Since both NICs are on the same subnet, the kernel cannot know which one you want to send the pings out on. If you try pinging the IP address "192.168.110.15", should the kernel send that ping out through eth0 or should it send it out through eth1? There's no way to tell, because there is no routing information that identifies which NIC (interface) to send the packet out on. Did you mean for that ping packet to come from the IP address 192.168.110.11? Or did you mean for that ping packet to come from 192.168.110.12? Apparantly, the kernel just arbitrarily chooses the last one you configured. If you need multiple IP address on the same subnet, you use "sub-interfaces" (I am sorry--I do not know what the correct term is, so I made up the word sub-interfaces). Basically, you configure a single NIC to have multiple separate IP addresses, as in: ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.1 ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.2 ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.0.15 ifconfig eth0:3 192.168.0.249 ...etc... That way your computer can have the IP address 192.168.110.11 AND 192.168.110.12, and will respond to pings to either IP address (since all pings are coming in to the same NIC). If you want to use both NICs in your computer, try giving them separate sub-nets and make sure your routing table lets the two sub-nets talk to one another. Then you should be able to ping one NIC from the other. Good Luck, Derek Simkowiak [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[expert] Install: Let's fix it, dammit!
[re: The busted PCMCIA installation...] > Contacted the Mandrake developers at 6.0 and was told it would be > fixed shortly but also have not seen a functional image on the > Mandrake or Redhat/mirrors sites. Well, then, let's fix this thing. I want to run Mandrake on my laptop. I'm a developer, but I'm not entirely clear on how the boot disks work. I also do not have a huge amount of free time right now. If one of the Mandrake developers can give me a general idea of what's wrong (it looks like a ramdisk is simply being mounted read-only when it should be mounted read/write), where the source code for the installation disks is, and what file I should look in, I'd be happy to give it a once-over and see if I can fix it. Then I'll post a patch to this list. ...but I don't have time to wade through a large source tree trying to hunt down the right file, function, and figure out from scratch how the code is designed. So: Mandrake install developers, where should I look to find the problem? And, where is the source repository for the install disks located? Thank You, Derek Simkowiak [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually some of the less expensive brands, SMC and Netgear, have switches that coast just a few dollars more that a hub. Netgear 5 port switch US$100.00 or SMC 5 port about US$120.00.

In a hub, all the ethernet traffic appears at all ports of the hub. Even those not meant for your computer. In a switch, this is segregated. It reduces collissions and improves performance. With a switch, only your computer gets traffic intended for it, and the other computers on the switch do not get YOUR data on their ethernet cable.

[expert] Network card un-initialization
Hello, I've been tackling a project I've been wanting to get started for a long time, a Linux ipchains firewall. I seem to be having connectivity loss if I leave the machine alone for a long time. The firewall looses it's internet connection. Here is some background info: Mandrake Helios (6.1) 3c509 NIC eth0=outside(cable modem DHCP via RoadRunner) 3c509 NIC eth1=inside(192.168.0.1) 2 client (internal) pc's IPCHAINS with portforwarding via ipmasqadm The connection works GREAT for quite a while, so, my first thoughts are related to the external DHCP (I don't know how long the lease is for). In my messages file, it appears that I successfully get a new lease, but I see where the DHCP client seems to be re-initializing the network cards, IS THIS NORMAL? Also, when I return from my absence, I can alway tell that I've lost my connection because my active TTY has these errors on the screen: eth0: Setting Rx mode to 0 addresses. eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses. I'm betting that this is a hint. I can't, however figure out how to get the NIC to work again, it still has an IP (in ifconfig), and it appears to still have a route table (in route), but it can't ping anything outside of this interface. Even doing an (ifdown eth0) (ifup eth0) doesn't help. And remember, my other network card still is operable on my internal network (eth1). Anyone have any ideas?

TIA > > > Check the archives, but I *think* the command is as follows: > > append='ide=scsi' This is not correct. It depends on whether your cdrw is scsi or ide. If it is scsi, nothing special needs to be done. If it is ide, you need to emulate a scsi drive. If your ide cdrw is at /dev/hdc, then put the line append="hdc=ide-scsi" in your /etc/lilo.conf file after the 'root= . . ' line. If your ide cdrw is at /dev/hdd, then put the line append="hdd=ide-scsi" Then, type /sbin/lilo Also, in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, add the line modprobe ide-scsi Once this is done, type lsmod You should see something like ide-scsi7520 0 in the output. Then, type cdrecord -scanbus You should see output like: root@chaos sen]# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord release 1.8a27 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 Jorg Schilling scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'IDE-CD ' 'R/RW 4x4x24 ' 'Z023' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * This means that your system finds the CDRW at scsi address 0,0,0 On my system, cdrecord then worked fine.

Re: [expert] cdr
Forgot to read the part about the cdr use alone. See my other post about cd-rw. To find out where your cdrom drive is: type dmesg | grep hd Your output will show where your cdrom drive is. E.g., on my system, I get [root@chaos sen]# dmesg | grep hd ide_setup: hdd=ide-scsi ide0: BM-DMA at 0x10e0-0x10e7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x10e8-0x10ef, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio hda: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX27.3, ATA DISK drive hdc: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8584A, ATAPI CDROM drive hdd: R/RW 4x4x24, ATAPI CDROM drive hda: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX27.3, 26147MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=/255/63 hdc: ATAPI 32X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache hda: hda1 hda2 showing I have a DVD on hdc and a R/RW on hdc Since you only have one, I suspect yours will be hdc. Below I assume this. To use your cdr, put a cdrom in it, and, as root, type mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom Then, cd /mnt/cdrom ls etc. To eject the cdrom, type umount /mnt/cdrom; eject -Cheers, -sen > On Thu, 11 Nov 1999, you wrote: > > What is the exact line to add to lilo to get a cdr to work and is there any > > thing else I need to do to actualy burn cd with it?

[expert] performance - emacs?
Hi, it looks like I am having some performance problems, in particular with emacs. I'm running mandrake 6.1 on PII-266, with 64 Mb RAM - not leading edge but pretty decent. However, some of the apps are slow; in particular, emacs takes about 8 secs to start - 1 second more than MS Word on the same machine (tried just to check). Is this normal? I believe it used to be better, but I can be mistaken. Can anyone with similar hardware tell me his experience? It doesn't seem to be related to X or window managers -even after telinit 3; emacs takes about the same time. Memory/CPU indicators (under Gnome) show memory 95% full, no swapping; CPU usage jumps to 20% first second after issuing 'emacs' command, then drops down to zero for the next 3-4 secs, then jumps to 100% and after this emacs finally emerges. For comparison: on my office machine (Pentium 450Mhz, 128 meg RAM, RH6.0) emacs starts in under one second. Any hints will be appreciated. Sasha

What is the exact line to add to lilo to get a cdr to work and is there any thing else I need to do to actualy burn cd with it? Also I've only got this one cdrom in my system so how do i use it as a burner and regular cdrom at the same time. an example of lilo.conf would also be apriciated. TIA
Re: [expert] Data Collision - How to improve transfer?
collisions occur when more than one nic "requests to send" . When the data rate is at 100 mb you will get more collisions because of the additional requests to send from ea. nic. when two nics experience a collision both back off a random number of millisecs and then again "request to send" enough theory... You might try a different nic manufacturer or may be try and replace one on the nic with a 10. Not many collisions should not occure with only two nics on a lan. The yellow lite may also be an indication of noise. if you have a sniffer you should have a look at packet errors it could be that you just have a bad nic. hope this helps terry - Original Message - From: Sevatio Octavio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 11:01 PM Subject: [expert] Data Collision - How to improve transfer? > I know this is not really a Linux issue but... > > I'm transferring data between my linbox and winbox.

BUT I do have another problem when the winbox is booted into linux I get transfer rates of about 2 bytes a secound (ie a 2 meg file takes about 15 hours or more.) to send from server to other box. rx's from the box to the server work fine though! -DarkWlf

RE: [expert] CAT-5 10BaseT cable max length
Not really, given wasted bandwidth due to collisions and other issues. The best case scenario (only two machines for instance) yields a statisticall 70% utilization or 7 megabits or .875 MegaBytes. Usually is less than that, be happy with 60%. By the way this applies to any collision detection ethernet protocol so the same with 10BaseT and 100BaseT although if you are switching at the hub you are going to be a bit more efficient. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 10:36 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [expert] CAT-5 10BaseT cable max length > > > > > 10 megabits that's the reason its called 10base-X > > > > > Ian Douglas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 11/11/99 04:01:49 AM > > Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > cc:(bcc: Hamka B Hj Suleiman/SKO/PCSB/Petronas) > Subject: Re: [expert] CAT-5 10BaseT cable max length > > > > > Speaking of 10base2 ... what is the maximum bandwidth on > coax?
