Hate to belabor the obvious but make sure your MTUs match. Also,
|
|
when you do your PING experiment, don't ping the cisco box on
|
|
the IP address associated with the net/subnet you are pinging
|
|
from. There are some rules related to same net/different net
|
|
maximum packet sizes which might be confusing your experiment.
|
|
(I'm perhaps incorrectly assuming the cisco box has multiple
|
|
IP addresses/nets).
|
|
|
|
Can you show the problem with a 'commercial' TCP/IP product?
|
|
More likely to interest cisco as their problem in that case.

I've done it, edit the makefile to change the -D for system to the

value which matches linux ... it was obvious when I looked but my

|

|
|

There is a command line flag for the daemon which overrides the .h file
|

location for configuration data. The source tar from ncsa includes
|
|
html pages for documentation (as I recall ... or maybe I got them
|
|
separately?) and does include sample config files, mostly with many

comments. Took an hour or two to bring up the server. I already

You are waiting a few seconds for the fingerd daemon to update itself,

Linux can make better use of the RAM on that caching controller

I'm using a WangDAT 3400DX (4GB uncompressed, 8GB compressed on 120M tapes).
|
|
It also can use 60M and 90M tapes, with lesser capacity. It works great.
|
|
I ordered it from insight/hdi (computer shopper). It came with scsi controller,cables, docs, etc for about $1500 (with no case). I'm using it with a
|
|
BusLogic 445s VLB controller (not the ISA one that came with it). I also
|
|
have two 1.7GB Micropolis drives. With the newer kernels supporting the
|
|
buslogic cards, everything works great. It very fast and reliable. I'm
|
|
in the process of setting up cron jobs and scripts to automatically backup
|
|
the Linux box, three Nextstep PCs, and a sparc. I've already got it to
|
|
work with NeXTstep, albeit with less than optimal settings, need to work on
|
|
the blocking factor, etc.
|
|
|
|
Any good SCSI2 DAT drive should work with Linux. I'm not sure on how
|
|
well (if at all) you can control the compression with the drivers. Under
|
|
Solaris, I can turn compression on/off, buy using different drivers, but
|
|
you will want to consider getting a DAT that you can jumper to default to
|
|
either (until) in case linux doesn't support it.

Such an emulator would not run under iBCS. It uses kernel hooks....

|

|
|
Indeed.

I may be alble to hel pwith minicom. I had a similar problem until i
|
|
went into the configuration screen for file transfer. Thsi msut be done
|
|
as root. The eaiest way i is to go root and then start minicom with the
|
|
configure option (it may be -c, you can double check with the man page to
|
|
make sure...)
|
|
|
|
Once in config mode, go to the file transfer config menu and remove the
|
|
flags from sz and rz (and/or any other prtocol you use.)
|
|
|
|
In my version fo minicom at least, it comes configured for different
|
|
versions of these transfer protocol programs then came with my Linux
|
|
distribution.
|
|
|
|
Hope that helps!

Subject: BUG: Linux <--> Cisco
|
|
Date: 28 Sep 1994 17:45:35 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have the following problem,
|
|
|
|
A telnet session, or any tcp session like uucico or rlogin, from a
|
|
cisco 2500 router (it happens with other cisco devices too) is
|
|
hanging when sending large packets to linux pcs. I have thrown
|
|
out the 3com etherlink iii cards and replaced them with ne2000,
|
|
replaced the pcs, replaced the cabling, tried all sorts of kernels
|
|
from 1.0.9 to 1.1.50.
|
|
|
|
Steps to reproduce:
|
|
1)Telnet to a cisco
|
|
2)Telnet to a linux pc (from the cisco)
|
|
3)login and run a "ps aux" or anthing that produces *fast* text output
|
|
4)if it locks (and it probably will if you repeat the process often enough)
|
|
Hit CTRL-6 and then X (Cisco's esc sequence??) When you hit return to
|
|
resume your session, the rest ouf your output will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
Same occours when doing a telnet to port NNTP or UUCP.
|
|
|
|
16k pings from 3 machines to the Cisco produces 0 packet loss, same
|
|
in the other direction. Increasing the number of pinging machines
|
|
still gives 0 packet loss until ethernet collisions start to occur.
|
|
|
|
I get the feeling that there is a timing/flow control problem with TCP,
|
|
cisco has not been able to reproduce these effects (on sunstations however)
|
|
|
|
I talked to a guy in the us via IRC today, who has similar cisco
|
|
equipment, and is experiencing the same problems.
|
|
|
|
The hardware I have used is (in all combinations)
|
|
486-dx2/66 486dx4/100
|
|
ne2000 3com509
|
|
adaptec 1542cf
|
|
|
|
if anybody has any great ideas,
|
|
i'd just love to see them

Hi, Mark,
|
|
|
|
see the /etc/DIR_COLORS...
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
# Configuration file for the color ls utility
|
|
# COLOR needs one of these arguments: 'tty' colorizes output to ttys, but not
|
|
# pipes. 'all' adds color characters to all output. 'none' shuts colorization
|
|
# off.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
...and use 'COLOR all'. So you can see color output at all.
|
|
|
|
Bye
|
|
Kai.
