'unknown host' sounds like a name server problem. Is your resolver set

To confirm this, try connecting to the system by specifying it's IP

I don't understand your question at all.
|
|
- You have network A with a workstation - (a PC????)
|
|
- You want to setup a small linux pc with ethernet card in it ????
|
|
- This PC running linux and the other workstation have different IP address
|
|
|
|
Now is the part that's confusing - "being able to access network A via the
|
|
workstation". Do you mean can the Linux box access network A through the
|
|
workstation"?.
|
|
|
|
Yes, just attach your linux box directly to network A. Configure the network
|
|
interface. That's it. Your linux box doesn't go through workstation A.

I have a Mountain 250MB tape drive with a Summit Mach2, high speed compression controller. It uses a normal FDC chipset, but has selectable I/O address, IRQ and DMA channels. This controller, when used with Mountain Filesafe tm. Software, allows me to store 330+ MB on a TD2120 tape and increases DTR from 2MB per min. to 6-8MB per min. Under Dos it also allows formatting on the fly. I know most of this will never work under Linux, but if I could just get the higher DTR Id be happy.
|
|
|
|
Has anyone else out there tried/been successful in getting ftape to talk to this configuration?
|
|
|
|
If so, please let me know where I could get an archive of your sorce directory and a mini-howto of how you got things working.

|

I'm using xdm to boot into Xwindows. I finally got it so it loads Motif
|
|
as the windows manager. However, if a user wants to user another
|
|
manager, they can't. If they kill the Motifwm process, the system goes
|
|
back to the login screen. You can't simply run another wm, since one's
|
|
already running. If you tell Motif to quit, it does just that, and
|
|
you're placed at the login screen again.
|
|
|
|
I'd like some suggestions on allowing the user to switch managers.
|
|
I am already aware that they can edit the $HOME/.Xsession file to set
|
|
whichever manager they want. But, I would like to be able to switch 'on
|
|
the fly'.
|
|
|
|
Thanks.

That's IF (big if) all your VLB slots support 50Mhz, as well as all your VLB
|
|
cards. Most only support up to 40Mhz for two slots, 33Mhz for three. The
|
|
optimal is to overclock a DX2/66 to a DX2/80 (which I do). This smokes both
|
|
and gives optimal VLB performance for my three VLB controllers (all bus-master).
|
|
Even if you don't overclock, since the bus speeds are limited to 8Mhz/ISA and
|
|
33-40Mhz for VLB (and even 12Mhz for EISA), then the speed of the cpu will not
|
|
affect performance on the bus as much as you think. A faster interal speed
|
|
seems to increase performance for everything.

Aha - an easy one :)

Set the modem to Auto Answer using DIP switch 5.
|
|
|
|
After that, read the Serial-HOWTO. There is a section in it just
|
|
for you.
|
|

Mail me if you can't find the HOWTO and I will send it to you, (its

I have a 1542B and a ProAudioBasic 16 (PAS16 without SCSI) and
|
|
had the same Problem. I fixed it by reducing the BUSON-time
|
|
and increasuing the BUSOFF time of the 1542B (this was suggested
|
|
in the Sound HOWTO). This can e.g. be done in the kernel
|
|
in the file drivers/scsi/aha1542.c in the following part:
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* Set the Bus on/off-times as not to ruin floppy performance */
|
|
{
|
|
unchar oncmd[] = {CMD_BUSON_TIME, 7};
|
|
unchar offcmd[] = {CMD_BUSOFF_TIME, 5};
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have to experiment which values are working well for your system.
|
|
The suggested modification will slow down the IO-Performance
|
|
between the 1542B and the system.
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps,

: from my dos partition (hda2) and I ended up destroying my file allocation

|
|
|
|
Hmmm...
|
|
|
|
Wondering how you did that. All my dos & os/2 partitions have always
|
|
been mounted from the very beginning, some read/write, and I've never
|
|
had a problem (knock on wood). I've copied to, moved to, use DOSEMU,
|
|
Wine, etc.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, if you want to automatically mount them on boot, add to your
|
|
/etc/fstab "/dev/hda2 /somename msdos defaults " or instead
|
|
of defaults, ro for read-only.

Digiboard will be releasing a Linux driver (1.1.50 kernel) for their PC/Xe
|
|
board in about two weeks. I don't know if theirs is 16-port or not. You
|
|
probably don't want to run 16 ports without using an intelligent I/O
|
|
product such as Digiboards. There is also the Cyclades Cyclom, which is
|
|
being advertised in Linux Journal. The driver is on sunsite in pub/Linux
|
|
/kernel/misc, I think, with the name cyclad*. I believe they have an 8-port
|
|
and 16-port version, and they are co-processed boards.

Subject: Compiling a SLIP FAQ List
|
|
Date: 29 Sep 1994 03:05:20 GMT
|
|
|
|
I am willing to begin compiling a SLIP/PPP FAQ. I would appreciate it
|
|
if people could send me any of their dip scripts or insight. I have had
|
|
a fair amount of experience in getting SLIP up and running with my Linux
|
|
box and the campus network, and personally found the lack of information
|
|
somewhat frustrating. It is for that reason that I am volunteering to do
|
|
this. Thanks for any contributions!

Not to prolong the war, but suprisingly I DO agree with Mark's basic
|
|
sentiment, even if I suggested he coudl be a little more laid back about it
|
|
(the 2001 quote.)
|
|
|
|
Games are fine, but continual postings all over ALL of the linux groups
|
|
gets to be rather annoying. It is NOT a development issue, nor is it an
|
|
OS issue (unless someone is plannign on writing a DOOM-kernel;) )
|
|
|
|
Postings about this or any other game should really be kept in the help,
|
|
misc or game-specific topics.
|
|
|
|
Nuff said.

Subject: Ncurses signals broken?
|
|
Date: 30 Sep 1994 19:27:22 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
I compiled ncurses 1.8, and it seems to work fine, except
|
|
when you try to suspend a process that uses the ncurses library.
|
|
When you do this, the process simply hangs there; you can only
|
|
^C it.
|
|
Here's parts of the signal handling code:
|
|
|
|
static int creceived;
|
|
|
|
void tstp()
|
|
{
|
|
struct sigaction act, oact;
|
|
sigprocmask(0, NULL, &act.sa_mask);
|
|
act.sa_handler = cont;
|
|
act.sa_flags = 0;
|
|
sigaction(SIGCONT, &act, &oact);
|
|
sigdelset(&act.sa_mask, SIGCONT);
|
|
creceived = 0;
|
|
/* This is the problem */
|
|
while (!creceived)
|
|
{
|
|
sigsuspend(&act.sa_mask);
|
|
}
|
|
sigaction(SIGCONT, &oact, NULL);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static void cont(int signo)
|
|
{
|
|
creceived = 1;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
See the line marked /* This is the problem */? It gets
|
|
to that point and hangs.
|
|
What's going on here? I can't see why it's not working...
|
|
any help appreciated. Thanks.

If you can get the connect string, what about using "file" on what the
|
|
punter's after to see if it's ascii or a zip/whatever? It should be
|
|
relatively easy to to make a guesstimate of how long a file will take
|
|
to transmit based on the connect string and size/type of file.

I had this same problem, the answer for me was to upgrade ifconfig.
|
|
After all, the kernel probe found the currect HWaddr, it only makes sense
|
|
that there is a problem with ifconfig.
|
|
|
|
BTW, I too was using a NE2000 clone.
