Re: [expert]OS idenity,Dhcp Eth0 and more!!
Hi Phil There are some interesting anomalies using a cable modem 1. If you change the physical network card, you must coldboot the network modem (ie pull the power cord) for it to get a DHCP address 2. If you are using 2 network cards and use eth1 as DHCP to configure your internal network, then 'ifup eth0' will try to configure eth0 from your internal DHCP server (doh!) - the only successful way is a reboot. 3. Go get 'floppyfw' from the net (tucows or freshmeat.net) which is a single floppy firewall router and works 'out of the box' and does what it says on the box. Use this to check that you can get the hardware to work. hth Mike - Original Message - From: "phil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 5:21 AM Subject: [expert]OS idenity,Dhcp Eth0 and more!! > > Any comments thanks in advance?? > When i run ifup eth0 I get an error message unable to get ip info via dhcpcd. > I have went thru netconf a dozen times.If i am using dhcp then no need to > enter the Ip address or any of the other things DNS etc. Correct? > FYI: Linux for Windows (7.2 Mandrake) on a Hp 600mhz ceoron 256mb ram, > realtek networkcard trying to get online > via Cable modem Road Runner acess. > I have read everthing online(well almost) And Tried almost Everything. > concerning Road Runner Cable service,Apparently I am not the only Linux > user that has tried to get online thru Road Runner? > Does anyone know anything about if my eth0 card is Bind to the dhcp,could > that be the prob? > From what I have read I really think that Road runner would prefer that I > stick with Windows. from further reading > http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap-fingerprinting-article.html > http://www.sans.org/newlook/resources/IDFAQ/TCP_fingerprinting.htm > Even though with DHCP the OS should not matter right?IN THEORY. > Could Road runner be preventing me from getting online thru there > service?THey are able to Idenify Your OS > Is Linux considered the Hackers OS? to some people Although that is not my > intentions! > I enjoy trying to get Linux to run, And after all this Windows Quite boring. > I might as well sign up for AOL aargh LOLPS please dont flame me. > > >

Re: [expert] Network hassle
Hi Declan, I had this problem and found that there are 2 versions of the realtek card. The responses that you are getting are wholly consistent with the module not loading. The ne2k-pci module is for the realtek 8029 card (an older card).

Presumably, all route with the non functioning device eth0 have been deleted. route -n on my better machine is there or thereabouts. /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 seem the same as the machine which actually works.

Hello Darek, I would suspect the screen resolution that is being applied in the autoboot (init 5) which your matrox card handles badly.

Re: [expert] GUI startup - black screen (fwd)
Hi Use the rescue CD to boot the system and then change /etc/inittab so that the initdefault is 3 not 5. This will force the system to boot without the X-windows stuff. Now reboot the server and you should come up with a console login. I had this problem when upgrading from MDK 7.1 to MDK 7.2 and it was caused by a setting in the X config files that stopped the X server from loading correctly and chewed up all of the resources.

Re: [expert] pnp failure messages - 2nd attempt
Looks like you are trying to initialise device CTL0070 twice - the second
time at hex address x0200 - and since such a device does not exist - it
complains. Without seeing the whole of the isapnp.conf file (I don't want to
;-)) it is not clear what the other config lines are like - but your first
start should be checking the backup copy of the conf file (ie before the
power failure)

Hi The queue name is the the name of the printer on the remote machine. If the remote machine (with printer) is linux then you need the add the host name to "/etc/lpd.allow" (or a similar name - sorry I forgotten what the file is called - look it up in the printing HOWTO) If the remote machine (with printer) is Winbloze, you need to make sure the printer is sharable in Windows.

Re: [expert] How to set up a dialup connection as a gateway
You don't need dynamic routing - nothing to do with a dynamic IP. You make the Linux router box (in W98) the default gateway and the DNS is handled by your ISP. You don't need to specify a DNS on the W98 clients. - Original Message - From: "Devin Rader" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 4:11 PM Subject: RE: [expert] How to set up a dialup connection as a gateway > from the FREESCO manual... > > "The main disadvantage of FREESCO - it doesn't have dynamic routing feature, > it can be only a static router" > > No good for a dialup dynamic IP? :) > > Devin > > > > -Original Message- > > From: mike ryder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 9:47 AM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [expert] How to set up a dialup connection as a gateway > > > > > > Have a look at www.freesco.org > > This site has a floppy boot distro for just this requirement. > > > > > > - Original Message - > > From: "Devin Rader" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 3:16 PM > > Subject: [expert] How to set up a dialup connection as a gateway > > > > > > > I was wondering if anyone could point me towards any docs > > on how to set up > > a > > > dial-up modem connection to serve as the gateway for a > > network.

Re: [expert] SAMBA and Win2K
Hi If you 'truly' don't need a password then use the -N switch to eliminate that as a problem. You may need to look further up the 'no connection' message to see the nature of the problem. Try getting a listing from the W2K server smbclient -L /w2kserver -N which should give you a list like this jsh jbaseadm ~ -->smbclient -L /windvd -N added interface ip=62.254.133.125 bcast=62.254.133.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Sharename Type Comment - --- CDRIVE Disk cdrive on windvd PRINTER$ Disk HP600 Printer IPC$ IPC Remote Inter Process Communication Server Comment ---- WorkgroupMaster ---- hth mike - Original Message - From: "Devin Rader" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 3:14 PM Subject: [expert] SAMBA and Win2K > I've got Samba (both client and server) set up on my Linux box finally > (mandrake 7.2), but am still having problems accessing a share on my Win2K > box from the Linux box.

Re: [expert] SCSI TBU
The command sits as /bin/mt If this command dosen't exist, then install it - load the mandrake cd - find the rpm and install it. I don't believe that you can mount a tape device - because it is a streaming device At the base level, you can read and write to it using dd eg: dd if=/etc/inittab of=/dev/st0 This will do a raw dump of the file tar is a better backup tool eg: tar tvf /dev/st0 /etc/* will tar the /etc directory into a 'tarball' and dump it on the tape hth mike - Original Message - From: "Ybnorml" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Expert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 3:36 AM Subject: [expert] SCSI TBU > Thanks for the replies and advice, guys.

Re: [expert] SCSI TBU
Hello, The tape device is probably something like /dev/st0 (usually the first scsi tape device) and you should be able to talk to it using the 'mt' set of commands (as in : 'mt -f /dev/st0 status' ) - Original Message - From: "Ybnorml" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Expert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 5:20 AM Subject: [expert] SCSI TBU > I have a DDS SCSI tape backup that is installed alongside my other SCSI > devices.

Re: [expert] Samba and two-class_network...
You now see the way that tcp/ip works - you can only see the segements on the network in the same domain or class C address. You need to make the server available on both classes of address. You don't explain how you link the different networks. Assuming they are on the same physical cable without any form of bridge - you can give your ethernet card an additional alias so that it sees both networks. I've never done this, but I imagine that the Linux server will now act as a bridge to both networks, hth Mike - Original Message - From: "Claudio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 09, 2001 1:48 PM Subject: [expert] Samba and two-class_network... > Hi all, > I've the following problem: a print server using LM-7.2, Cups and samba.

Re: [expert] DNS and IP addressing
This looks like a 'name' confusion? Do you mean a virtual IP or do you mean Masquerading with NAT (Network Address Translation).
