Re: [newbie] 10/100 Ethernet?
R u serious on the 40% efficiency on Ethernet topology? any reason why? coz a rough benchmarking i did when using samba transferring a 25 meg file took about 30s on a 10base-T network.

If you are basing it on throughput, then multiply throughput by 40% of your apparent speed. TCP/IP on Ethernet has about 40% efficiency. IBM reps at a meeting on connectivity not long ago said that IBM made a mistake supporting Token Ring because they saw it as needed for future bandwidth uses. They underestimated what the inexpensiveness of the 40% efficient Ethernet would drive the Engineers to do. Now we have 10MHz, 100MHz, 1 GHz, and they are talking about 10GHz. MACs make good computers for Beowulf systems. See www.blacklablinux.com. The beauty is that those parallel processing machines in a cluster do not all have to be the same platform. Could get messy having to use cvs rather than rpm to update all those nodes from your worldly computer, though. Sean McMains wrote: Hee hee. No Beowulf here, yet. My other machines are Macs. I understand how the switching and partitioning works, and wasn't basing my observations on throughput, but rather on the "10/100" light on my hub. (Amber for 100, green for 10.) I'll root around a bit and see what I can discover. Thanks for all the help! Sean Thinking of building a Beowulf are we?g OK your 100 machines are likely to talk to each other at 100, but only at 10 to the 10s. If all your equipment were 100, then it would be indicative of a problem to see 100s running at 10. 3Com are usually solid cards. My main problem with them has been "short fingers." Apparently they have discovered how to use less gold on the contacts, by making them just slightly shorter, or so my calipers say. This leads to non-recognition and/or intermittents unless your case is NOT warped and the tech assembling the machine took a little extra care seating the cards. The 3Com Drivers are very mature and unlikely to be the source of problems. The Dell case is to others what a tank is to automobiles, so case warpage is unlikely to be a problem. Ummm, might try reseating the card. You may see it on autodetect as a 3C590 or 3C905 ... those are both 10/100 types. Both those are PCI types If it is an ISA card, well You have an issue with the salesman. Civileme Sean McMains wrote: I've got two machines running at 100, three running at 10.

Re: [newbie] Linux compatible Modem and sound card WILL NOT work under Linux. Why???

Why??? My modem and sound card WILL NOT work in Linux. I have reset the bios which made everything get new IRQ addresses and such. But that just don't seem to work. I still can NOT get Linux-Mandrake fully installed. I can not seem to get the modem working after setting up the sound card. I just don't understand it. The modem works very good untill the sound card is configured under SETUP. Once the sound card is setup. The modem seems to get less dominant and stops working. Here is what I get when I type "isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf" [root@localhost /root]# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf Board 1 has Identity 53 00 1e 1a 58 28 00 8c 0e: CTL0028 Serial No 1972824 [checksum 53] Board 2 has Identity 8b d2 b1 bd ab 31 30 72 56: USR3031 Serial No 3534863787 [checksum 8b] /etc/isapnp.conf:46 -- Fatal - resource conflict allocating IRQ5 (see /proc/interrupts) /etc/isapnp.conf:46 -- Fatal - Error occurred executing request 'IRQ 5' --- further action aborted [root@localhost /root]# One of the errors say "see /proc/interrupts". Well, the /proc/interrupts file is size zero and contains no data. Now what? My BIOS says that my modem is at IRQ 11 on COM 3 (ttyS2). Well, when I boot the computer, Linux puts out a line durring bootup that says... ttyS2 at 0X3E8 (IRQ=4) is a 16550A I don't understand how this can be possible. How can the Linux operating system see the modem at "IRQ 4" when the bios says it is at IRQ 11. The settings in Windows 98 even say that the modem is operating at IRQ 11. The bios also says that the sound card is set to operate at IRQ 5. So how could there be a resource conflict? If there is a resource conflict, why doesn't it get reported when I run Windows 98? Windows 98 says that the sound card is running on IRQ 5. That jives exactly with the bios. Windows 98 runs VERY smooth. LINUX is like a rough and rocky road. Is Linux-Mandrake 6.0 trying to invent its own bios and environment? What MUST I do to fix this mess? What information can I provide to help fix this thing?
