[techtalk] Building ADSL - LAN
First off, I would like to thank everyone who wrote back with their advice and reading suggestions. However, I am still having the following problem. I have gotten to the Internet through my ADSL modem from my Windows98 partition. What follows is the route PRINT from the command prompt while running Windows98: Network Address Netmask Gateway Address Interface 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xxx.yyy.zzz.246 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 xxx.yyy.zzz.240 255.255.255.248 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 xxx.yyy.zzz.255 255.255.255.255 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 TCP/IP on Windows98 is set up as follows: Gateway: xxx.yyy.zzz.242 IP Addr: xxx.yyy.zzz.242 Netmask: 255.255.255.248 The ADSL modem is configured with: Gateway: xxx.yyy.zzz.246 IP Addr: xxx.yyy.zzz.241 Netmask: 255.255.255.248 The ADSL modem is an Alcatel 1000. The NIC above is a 3COM EtherLink III 3c509B. I have done the set-up, disabled PNP, and all those goodies. The addresses referenced with xxx.yyy.zzz.### are public IP addresses, not private. What I am having problems with is duplicating the successful Windows98 routing under the Linux partition, the partition I -really- want to run full-time. However, when I ifconfig eth0 (the NIC under Linux) using this: ifconfig eth0 xxx.yyy.zzz.242 it automatically inserts this into the route table: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface xxx.yyy.zzz.240 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 00 eth0 Note the gateway. I want xxx.yyy.zzz.242 as the gateway, NOT 0.0.0.0, but it will not let me delete this route to readd it. This is the error I get: bash# route del -net xxx.yyy.zzz.240 SIOCDELRT: Invalid argument What I -think- I should be typing to get the routing displayed in Windows98 is: route add default gw xxx.yyy.zzz.246 route add -net xxx.yyy.zzz.240 gw xxx.yyy.zzz.242 netmask 255.255.255.248 route add xxx.yyy.zzz.242 gw localhost route add xxx.yyy.zzz.255 gw xxx.yyy.zzz.242 route add -net 224.0.0.0 gw xxx.yyy.zzz.242 netmask 224.0.0.0 route add 255.255.255.255 gw xxx.yyy.zzz.242 However, Linux complains and moans about the last two entries. Do I have an old version of route? My version is: bash# route -V net-tools 1.52 route 1.96 (1999-01-01) I would appreciate any input on what I am doing wrong here. -- O.--.

Re: [techtalk] Building ADSL - LAN
Oops. misread, and made the same mistake... bash# route add default gw xxx.yyy.zzz.246 is the proper line. The rule is simple; if windows says _your IP_ is the gateway, there _is no gateway_. Never point a gateway route at yourself, that would be recursive. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org

[techtalk] Network cards supported by RH 6.0 & 6.1
I'm wondering if there's any chance that I can use my cheapo AOpen NIC (ALN-101) with RH 6.0 or 6.1. If not, any other suggestions for inexpensive cards that will work?

The AOpen ALN-101 is NE2000 compatible. It will work fine. But you will probably need to know what irq and memory address it uses in case the install doesn't find it when it "autoprobes". If that happens, you'll have to "specify options" and put in something like "io=0x340,irq=10".

Re: [techtalk] Network cards supported by RH 6.0 & 6.1
Have you considered trying out a Buy/Sell/Trade computer parts store? I tried that, not wanting to spend alot of money and being unable to find NICs that I was confident were Linux-supported. Also, I was specifically wanting ISA cards, and the retailers are pushing PCI 10/100. Two B/S/T stores in my area had whole -bins- of NICs, both ISA and PCI. One had a whole bin of 3Com 509B, for $15 each when 3Com suggests the retail price as $72 (from their website). They did not have the software with them, but if you find NICs by 3Com or other realiable manufacturers, you can download whatever drivers/setup software you need to get going. Because the stores was B/S/T, I couldn't have gotten my cash back (the one drawback), but if a card had proven to be defective, I could take it back and swap it for another. And as I said, whole -bins-. :) Tips: check out the return policies of the store(s) in question, take the NIC segment of the Hardware How-TO with you to the store, don't by any NIC that is unlabeled -on the card itself-, and don't buy any cards are 'loose': ie, not in a silver anti-static bag. Sorry, plain plastic isn't good enough, IMHO. :) Also, do some research on the cards you think you'd most like to have, such as looking to see if drivers and utilities are available from the manufacturer or third party... likely there won't be software available -with- the card. Also, don't be afraid to ask to unbag the card (carefully!) to physically inspect it before purchase. Look to make sure nothing is broken off, bent, scraped, or elsewise might affect the card's operation.

RE: [techtalk] Setting up my Mitsumi 4802TE CDRW under Redhat Linux 6.0
I found out how to set it up. The next question I hope is a little easier. If I have the line append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi" only my cdreader is able to get mounted. Mounting the writer will only show what's on the reader. However if I leave out hdb then although the writer is recognized the cdreader is nowhere to be found. How can I set it up so that both can be seen by the system? I had hdb as /dev/sr0 and hdc as /dev/sr7 at first (when the writer couldn't be accessed). Now I just have hdc as /dev/sr0 but again hdb (my reader) is nowhere to be found. I can't access it under hdb either. Where could it be, or how can I set it up so it will work properly.

[techtalk] modem vs bios
Yeah, Jenn, I'm quasi-certain it's the BIOS, but I already tried resetting to original configuration and that didn't help. The big mistake, really, was not taking note of the original configuration BEFORE I installed the hard drive. What I don't get though, is the fact that Seyon sees and uses the modem - but *no other piece of software can*, either in Win98 or Linux. I'm completely puzzled.

If you switch back to the console you started X from after trying to start a program, are there any informative error messages there? I've confused kfm enough that it won't start programs, and it complains there. For me it also leaves a .X.err file in my home directory with the console output of X programs... Are you able to launch programs from the alt-f2 command prompt or an X terminal? When you uninstalled and upgraded KDE, did you get rid of your ~/.kderc file or ~/.kde directory? Perhaps you could try renaming those temporarily and see if it helps... TTFN [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org
[techtalk] Fwd: WinLinux2000
Hi all, I've actually not been near this computer since this morning. I'm taking my temperature as we speak. Anyway, I was just going through all of my email and I received some feedback from a very good friend of mine who installed the WinLinux2000 which I had mentioned earlier this week. I wanted to share his feedback about the d/l, install/ and program itself. I also wanted to ask what may sound like a strange question. Based on my friend's description, it sounds like the entire installation process is point and click (as it advertised). That's a good idea; but I'm debating whether to go that route even though a) I cannot get my modem configured no matter what, have tried everything from pnptools to pci utilities, b) it looks like I have to add a module to my kernel in order to install OSS, which I've never done before. The obvious decision would be to just take what appears to be the easy route, but if I do that, then I haven't really learned anything from the experience, have I? I'm getting another modem that I should be able to get configured this weekend probably. If you had to choose between manual and WinLinux 2000 install, which would you choose, and if you don't mind my asking why? Thanks and have a great weekend everyone! >Date: Fri, 08 Oct 1999 22:34:26 -0700 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: WinLinux2000 > >MAN!!
