Hello..
|
|
|
|
I'm trying to set up a slip server and I can't seem to get get to the
|
|
outside world. Can Somebody please help?!
|
|
|
|
Here's what I've done..
|
|
|
|
Winsock -- modem -- phone -- modem-- linux 1.1.50 -- ethernet----backbone
|
|
|
|
Winsock = 164.159.2.2
|
|
Linux (modem side) 164.159.2.1
|
|
Linux (ethernet side) 164.159.1.1
|
|
Backbone (164.159.1.0)
|
|
Router on backbone 164.159.1.62 (to the rest of the world)
|
|
Netmask 255.255.255.192
|
|
|
|
I'm using dip to set up the server and I have the following entry in the
|
|
diphosts file:
|
|
|
|
ttyS0::164.159.2.2:164.159.2.1:255.255.255.192:Slip:CSLIP,296
|
|
|
|
When I dial in, the slip line comes alive and I'm able to ping 164.159.1.1
|
|
which is the host. (Note: the ping time is 465 ms! on a 14.4 modem, this isn't
|
|
right..) I'm NOT able to ping my router at 164.159.1.62.
|
|
|
|
I've added the arp entry using arp -s 164.159.2.2 {ethernet address} as per
|
|
the FAQ.
|
|
|
|
I'm not running routed or gated because I thought that adding the arp entry
|
|
would fix the problem. Dip seems to be adding the route to the routing table
|
|
because I see 164.159.2.1 and 164.159.2.2 in the route table.
|
|
|
|
What am I missing? This seems like a perfect FAQ, but for some reason I'm not
|
|
getting it right. Ideas? Please!

You can also use the command "dmesg" from the command line. The
|

/var/adm/messages file on my system (at least the way syslogd is
|
|
configured here) does not contain all the boot-up messages.

During the Sunsite-troubles, several files from the Andrew User
|
|
Interface System distribution were lost. I have just put up a new
|
|
release of AUIS (based on 6.3.1 from CMU). AUIS is an integrated set of
|
|
tools that allow you to create, use, and mail multi-media documents and
|
|
apps containing formatted text and embedded objects. AUIS has been
|
|
broken into five packages which you may mix in various combinations:
|
|
|
|
-wp is aimed at the WORD PROCESSING audience. All other packges
|
|
require this.
|
|
-src is aimed at the SOURCE CODE DEVELOPER, a programmer writing code
|
|
-mail is aimed at those needing A BETTER MAIL INTERFACE and
|
|
interested in a MULTI-MEDIA (MIME) MAIL INTERFACE
|
|
-doc contains all AUIS documentation not found in the other packages
|
|
-dev is aimed at those who want to develop their own AUIS
|
|
application. This requires the -src package.
|
|
|
|
The principle changes are:
|
|
|
|
-wp (word processing)
|
|
A few fixes
|
|
Default # colors increased to improve look of images
|
|
Can now print documents on A4 paper
|
|
New command, setpapersize
|
|
Improvements in htmltext - WYSWIG editting of HTML docs
|
|
|
|
-src (source editting)
|
|
A few fixes

|
|
|
-mail (multi-media mail user agent)
|

Date: Mon, 19 Sep 1994 18:28:21 GMT

|
|
|
Hi guys,
|
|
|
|
Since this weekend I have severe problems with my system.
|
|
I tried to install a soundblaster 16ASP using the factory
|
|
settings (irq5, irq0 and an unknown irq for the mitsumi
|
|
cdrom).
|
|
|
|
After rebuilding the kernel with sbpcd support and iso9660
|
|
I rebooted the system (yes, I reinstalled using lilo).
|
|
|
|
At the moment I tried to use my modem, some way or other
|
|
it looked like I got connected but kermit 5a189 didnot present
|
|
any screen output. Looking further I saw my cua0 and cua1 in
|
|
/dev had been changed. For some reason also my mouse does not
|
|
work anymore.
|
|
|
|
I'm using kernel 1.0.9.
|
|
|
|
I guess I have some IRQ problems. I could only use my harddisk
|
|
again by removing the soundblaster card.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
|
|
|
|
|

Ok thats what I do here.I use kermit. WHat I do is this.
|
|
|
|
call up kermit set the line /dev/cua0 (you can use what ever line)
|
|
then set speed 38400
|
|
hit c which brings me to the term part then dial the number to the
|
|
remote system. then it ask me for login and passwd. Then it starts it ppp.
|
|
|
|
I then hit cntrl \ c which brings me back to the kermit prompt. I then
|
|
issue this command.
|
|
|
|
!nohup pppd /dev/cua0 crtscts -d defaultroute 38400 -detach
|
|
|
|
brings the connect right up no problems. There may be a easier way to do
|
|
this but it works for me. Also do you have a ip address assigned to you.
|
|
If not I would ask them to do this.

|
|
The reason that there are no examples is that the files in this
|
|
directory vary too much from user to user to give examples. The only
|
|
file that you need have is the /etc/ppp/options file. This became a
|
|
"mandatory option" (if you can call it that) with the 2.1 release. The
|
|
2.0 code and before, the 'option' to require it was disabled by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
In case you wish to disable it, it is a compile time option in the
|
|
pppd process. Look for the REQ_SYSOPTIONS in main.c. Change it to "0"
|
|
rather than "1".
|
|
|
|
The chap-secrets and pap-secrets files are described in the man
|
|
page. They are used if you use CHAP or PAP authentication protocols.
|
|
|
|
The ip-up and ip-down programs/scripts are used only if _you_ wish to
|
|
use them. The system does not need them.

|
|
|
|
"Without reference to the others"? What is "others"? Each file is
|
|
independent of the others required to run ppp. There is no
|
|
inter-action between them.

[These comments are relative to the setup on the SunOS system]
|
|
|
|
Easy, but not very secure. It would be better to have one account for
|
|
PPP for which all users may use. Do CHAP authentication on the
|
|
users. If you have the IP addresses to spare, then subnet the IP
|
|
domain and do a network route to the Sun system. Give each user a IP
|
|
address. Accept a remote IP address, but fix the local one.
|
|
|
|
If you don't wish to give each user an IP address, then fix the local
|
|
and remote IP addresses. This would mean that they could not receive
|
|
mail directly to the remote sysetm, but if you don't have the IP
|
|
addresses, then you don't. Something has to give.
|
|
|
|
In either case the users would then call your system; sign on as the
|
|
"ppp" user with the associated password; and the system would run the
|
|
ppp software for them.

That sounds interesting. I think this is a problem i do have aswell.

I always use the slackware 2.0 setup program to do this... All you need
|
|
is slackware & a DOS formatted floppy. Then run setup & configure the system.
|
|
Making a boot floppy is one of the steps.

Hi there!
|
|
|
|
When my Linux box boots, I get something like
|
|
"lp_init: lp2 exists, using polling driver"
|
|
|
|
Does that mean, I can assign the now used IRQ for the printer
|
|
to another serial port?
|
|
|
|
Will DOS go on printing?
|
|
|
|
Thanks

Subject: Compiling kernel 1.1.45
|
|
Date: 20 Sep 1994 06:43:08 GMT
|
|
|
|
I recently downloaded the 1.1.45 kernel and un-tared it in my usr/src directory
|
|
as the root user (tar -xvf filename) and then type make config which brought
|
|
up the script for selecting the options, here are my questions...
|
|
|
|
1. Is there anywhere that I can get a detailed description of the choices
|
|
that I can make (what does each selection do...), I would like to know
|
|
if I am making the right choices!.
|
|
|
|
2. After I typed make dep and then type make zImage I am left with a file
|
|
called zImage which I copied to a floppy.
|
|
|
|
* I rebooted and noticed that I still get a message that says Linux version
|
|
1.1.18 (root@fuzzy), etc. I know that I can change the MOTD to read
|
|
Welcome to Linux 1.1.45 if I need to but should'nt I be seeing some-
|
|
thing like Linux version 1.1.45 (root@fuzzy), etc.
|
|
|
|
* Also how can I test to see if my sound card is working with the support
|
|
that I compiled for it, is there any way to give it a test drive of sorts.
|
|
|
|
* If I have successfully compiled the new kernel do I still need the follow-
|
|
ing directories that are located in /usr/src, these are Linux-1.0.9 and
|
|
Linux-1.1.18+UMSDOS-0.3a+IFS-5.1.

Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated,

Thanx...

It may be complaining about one of the IP's you specified... Without knowing
|
|
more about how your network/system is configured, it is hard to tell.

You have to use "slattach" first.
|
|
Try "man slattach".
|
|
|
|
All this (and much more) is explained in the
|
|
"Linux Network Administration Guide 1.0" available at ftp servers near you.
|
|
A "must read" for newbie network administrators.

This is only partially true. UniBoard _does_ check for time expiration
|
|
after each downloaded file (even during batch download) and will disconnect
|
|
the user if his time limit is overridden.

I have Mosaic installed on my computer and I have notice that there are certain

|
times that you can select an icon to hear sound clips, I beleive that I have
|
|
compiled my kernel correctly for my sound card but when I select the sound icon
|
|
I get a message that says spawning external viewer and then the little watch
|
|
symbol comes on screen like its doing something but nothing happens after that
|
|
point.
|
|
|
|
Do I need to be doing something different, I have looked at the app-defaults
|
|
and saw nothing that says anything about sound, I really have not researched
|
|
this in depth and have possibly overlooked somthing obvious.
|
|
|
|
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated,

it should be, but my kernel (1.1.33) tells me:
|
|
|
|
jope kernel: tty03 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16450
|
|
jope kernel: lp_init: lp1 exists, using polling driver
|
|
jope kernel: lp_init: lp2 exists, using polling driver
|
|
jope kernel: Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 3.01 BogoMips
|
|
|
|
and i can use them as LPT1, LPT2 with DOze. So have a look at Your logfile.
