hi,

if i ping myself, it works fine. but, i see no network activity on the hub
lights (am i supposed to?) i'll try compiling the 3c509 driver into the kernel,
but i don't imagine that should make much of a difference, would it? (i am
getting desperate).

 Can you ping to yourself on the linux box? Since you are saying that if you
 boot with Win on the linux hardware you can communicate, the possibility of
 any hardware and the physical part of the network problem is ruled out. The
 problem is definetly with Linux. I think it has nothing to do with routing
 also since they are on the same network 192.168.1.0  Hav you tried compiling
 the ethernet  support not as a module.

 Your problem is quite interesting and obscure too. Do let me know the
 solution if you get it right . Good luck !

I've made a connection from an offline box through a null modem on an
online box in a network.  I use the ascii protocol to upload the file in
the online box (what seems to be going allright) but if i try to download
in ascii it tells me READY but the specified file for download is empty.
The other protocols (xmodem, ymodem,zmodem) don't seem to work?
What is my problem? (Debian!!)

Subject: SIOCFIFFLAGS et al
Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 11:39:31 -0400

I'm running redhat 6 with a 3com509 card that has been working stable for
a while.  Last night a Netscape froze GNOME so hard that I could only
telnet in from another box and reboot the machine (not even killing the
Netscape or X processes released the screen, which I found odd).

Upon rebooting, networking is now toast.  All local networking runs fine,
eth0 comes up without error while running /etc/rc.d/inet.d/network start,
but trying to telnet outside gives an immediate 'Host name lookup
failure.'

although eth0 *seems* to come up, running netstat -nr shows only the lo
interface info.  running 

ifconfig eth0 

gives good info, except the broadcast info is wrong.  However, trying to
config that with:

ifconfig eth0 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 

gives SIOCFIFFLAGS: resource temporarily unavailable

I've also seen error messages with SIOCADDR in them.

Anybody know what's going on?  This happened completely out of the blue
and it's the second time.  (The first time I reinstalled after 2 solid
days of hacking on  --- I don't want to do that again.)  

thanks

Quite simple: the NFS server in linux is broken. You can find some patches
at http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/ that reduce the problems, but does
not fix all problems.

Well, but those messages regard exclusively files on Solaris server, not
Linux - so it is rather NFS client complaining.

 Hi,
 We are having a networking problem at our company (that is all Linux
 users).
 It seems like something has changed in the networking support (TCP/IP)
 in the newest kernels, 2.2.x, because we cannot get through our companys

 proxy server anymore. All users still using the 'old' 2.0.x kernels does

 not have this problem. Anyone experienced the same problem?

 Inside our own network (intranet) everything works fine with the
 2.2.x kernels (rlogin, telnet, e-mail, netscape, arena, ftp, etc.).
 But not to the 'outside'.
 / Christer

Hi !

Beware, this looks like a transparent firewall/gateway trouble : in old
Linux Red-Hat 5.2 one had to use "ipfwadm" command to allow IP masquerading,
but in new Linux Red-Hat 6.0 "ipfwadm" is no longer valid (it should'nt be
installed at all) and must be replaced by "ipchains". So, I believe this is
an incompatibility between old "ipfwadm" and new "ipchains", but it is too
new for me to be sure of anything (some weeks old only).

Bye !

I have an internet access through a Microsoft Proxy Server on the machine
which have the direct connection to the world and I can use smtp, pop, etc.
from a Windows box on the same server LAN in a natural manner with WSP the
microsoft proxy client. Does exist a way to use these protocols through this
connection from  a Linux box?


Thanks, Valentín

Subject: eql and default route
Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 22:30:36 GMT

I would like to setup a connection between two offices using eql.
I would also like to use our internet gateway as the machine for
the local ppp server since it isn't being used as much else. Anyway,
I set the default route of this machine as the ppp link outbound to
the internet. The eql howto by Simon Janes mentions that the eql
link must be made the default route. Is this going to be a problem or
is there a way around this?

I have a question as to how I can go about getting my new cable modem to
work.

The modem is a Motorola CyberSurfer Wave, and when I boot into Linux, I see
the following:

ne2k-pci.c:v0.99L 2/7/98 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html
ne2k-pci.c: PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek RTL-8029' at I/O 0xd800, IRQ 10.
eth0: PCI NE2000 found at 0xd800, IRQ 10, 00:00:B4:9B:20:1C.
ne2k-pci.c: PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek RTL-8029' at I/O 0xd400, IRQ 11.
eth1: PCI NE2000 found at 0xd400, IRQ 11, 00:40:05:E2:F5:D2.

This strikes me as bizarre, seeing that I did no configuration whatsoever,
for the second card, which is the one to which my modem is connected ... 
:-|  In addition, the box says SN2000, but I assume that it is an NE2000
compatible.

I run ifconfig, and see the following:

eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:B4:9B:20:1C  
  inet addr:192.68.0.1  Bcast:192.68.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
  RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:49 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
  Interrupt:10 Base address:0xd800 

The second card isn't there, as you can see.

So my question is: how do I enable that card at boot?  

Some drivers autodetect all cards of the same type (as you saw), and
build the devices in sequence. I'd say the driver detected your
cable-modem ethernet card and installed it as eth1.

However, this does not mean that Linux knows how to get to eth1, just
that it exists. You still have to ifconfig the eth1 device in order to
get it to work. Your ISP might require you to use DHCP, in which case
you'll have to do a little bit of research.

I can ping to the inside of my LAN, but not to the outside, and I can't
resolve hostnames either.  I've read the NET-3 HOWTO, but the problem is
that I can't pass parameters to LILO when I boot, as I don't use LILO: I
boot from a diskette.  I could install from scratch, and install LILO, but
my system is running just the way I want it, including my girlfriend's
thesis ...  :-)

Why don't I just type:

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/vmlinuz

I hear you ask ... 

I tried: when I run LILO, it tells me the kernel is too big.

Your suggestions would be welcome, as I have 2 Mb/s just waiting to be used
here ... :-)

Thanks.

Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 01:35:23 GMT

A previous post on this subject got little response.  Here's another
post.

I've got a laptop with a D-LINK DE-660 pcmcia network card.
I've got RedHat 5.2 installed.

I had this card working for a few hours one night about 2 weeks ago, but

have not had any luck since.  It works fine under Windows 98.

I'm getting the following error:

  pcnet_reset_8390():  did not complete

I'm getting to high-toned beeps, indicating a successful install.

Anytime I reinstall Linux, I have to go in to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
and
add my hardware address to one of the lines, otherwise I get an error
message
about not being able to determine my Hardware Address.

I've tried using the Card Services 3.05, 3.08, and 3.09.
The 3.09 version is where I had luck a few weeks ago.

Please help.
