Re: problems with my NIC
welp, I am hopinh I have solved it by replacing the tlan card with a 3COM 3c590 card, and I built a new kernel, embedding the nic and scsi drivers, and disabling everything I didn't think I needed... APM was one of them. Not that I think this Pre-1996 Compaq system has APM, but I dislike APM altogether anyway.

Re: problems with my NIC
I was working on a customer's box today, and was seeing the same behavior. FWIW, the box was an HP Vectra running RH-7.1. I ended up determining that the problem was caused by some BIOS driven power management which was apparently spinning down the drives, and cutting power to just about everything other than the CPU.

It probably depends on which cable. @home really likes the host name they assigned, or they don't play ball. I use a router now, and the host name they assigned is embedded there.

You may want to do it as a CNAME to avoid reverse lookup mismatches. Some of the cable providers are blocking port 80 and port 25 to their customer's machines, largely in response to Code Red, and to avoid problems with customer's misconfigured MTAs being used for spam relays.

problems with my NIC
I have a problem with my NIC losing 'connetivity' on my boxen. The nic uses the 'tlan' module, and eth0 comes up fine at boot. After a period of time that I haven't been able to determine, the networks goes kaplop and I can't connect to or from this boxen anylonger. I tried taking eth0 down and then eth0 back up again, but that didn't help. So I take eth0 down, rmmod tlan, and then eth0 back up again and that would restore things... temporarily. It'd go kaplop again eventually. So I built tlan into my kernel. This seemed to work, but now after about a day it acts the same way again. I can boot my system and the network connection goes bellyup anywhere between 30 minutes to a few hours later. And it doesn't matter if there is network activity or not. This has happened at times of ftp and web access, and then everything just stops. It has happened when nothing is happening and the next connection times out. I get messages in /var/log and on the console about 'eth0: link forced'. It seems that as soon as one of these messages appears, my network goes bellyup. It still does this even though the module is compiled into the kernel, which I thought was odd. (!?) I asked this before but got no replies, anyone have any ideas?

Re: replacing win98
If you need any help finding/installing it, let me know. I just did this and it's a little tricky. Ok, here's a quick SxS. - Download korelib tarball and kapital rpm for distro. - Untar korelib, ./configure, make, make install - Edit /etc/ld.so.conf. Add line: /usr/local/lib. Run ldconfig as root. - rpm -ivh --prefix=/opt/kde2 kapital-demo???.rpm Notes: You can change the --prefix to where ever kde is installed. The initial screens are covered up by the annoying Kapital splash screen. This can be remedied by moving/resizing the screen out of the splash screen's way. This is a very dumbed down demo. Some features will just send you to the Kapital web site when clicked on, but you can get the feel of how it will work.

No fancy guis or anything, but it does the >job well for me. You beat me to it. BackupEdge probably has the best recovery ability under Linux and OpenServer around. It's easy to go from cold iron to a fully partitioned system reloading from backups in a minute or two with edge. The current version also support DVD-RAM which allows almost instantaneous recovery of any file on the backup media. The DVD-RAM cartridges hold 4.7gb uncompressed, are rated at 100,000 writes by the lawyers (engineers say it's a lot higher than that), and cost less than Travan tapes. SCSI DVD-RAM drives can be had for about $350.00, and ATAPI units are a bit less than that (I had a bit of a problem with ATAPI last week on a Caldera eDesktop 2.4 system, and the support people at Microlite were very helpful to diagnose the problem, and update the edge.tape program to fix it). We're building most of our new systems with the DVD-RAM drives instead of a CDROM and SCSI tape drive, and installing BackupEdge. The total cost for the DVD-RAM and Edge is comparable to a DDS-3 SCSI drive. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.

Re: replacing win98
I had a dual boot when I first started using Linux (COL2.4) way back. *HATED* having to reboot. To me, one of the most important features is a stable OS that doesn't have to be rebooted several times a day. And as a unix developer from way back, I truly dislike windows and LOVE having the familiar OS and tools at my fingertips; I can transfer knowledge from 15+ years easily. I can always figure out what is going on and can build any kind of product I want. Plus the loads of open source goodies out there... well preaching to the quire :-) As far as word processing/office stuff is concerned, Star/Open Office is completely adequate for 99% of my needs. I only use windows for Quicken, Daytimer Addressbook, and occasional printing of photos (the tool is nice - can place photo wherever I want on page *easily*). So - since I use linux for everything else, I DO NOT want to reboot and have been using Win4Lin until my switch to SuSE (netraverse doesn't have a 7.3 enabled kernel). This prompted me to try VMware - hence this discussion. At some point over the next year or so, I want to be completely windoze free... Just tried the latest Quicken 2002 and dislike it - so I may shift everything to either GNUcash or Moneydance (+ spreadsheet for budget) since I only do home finances w/ it. My only issue is finding the time to make the shift.

I do not know of anyway to change ti from 192.168.0.# to another Class or tfrom 255.255.255.0 to another subnet. My biggest suggestion. Learn your way around the RH box fast. Setup your connection, firewall(pmfirewall good for ipchains type kernels) and DHCP. Much more can be done with a linuxbox in control then a winbox, I learned the hardway 8^) HTH, On Sunday 18 November 2001 22:31, you were heard blurting out: > Midnight babbled on about: > > I have a RH linux box connected to a Win98se box via a LAN.

An additinal newbie friendly list, with an excellent SxS written for newbies, about a variety of linux topics, can be found at http://linux.nf The SxS (step by step) is written by list members, posted after peer review. At most a newbie might be politely pointed at that site for a more detailed explanation of how to do what they want. It's truly a step-by-step, rather than a bloated how-to. Might be similar to what you are suggesting.
