Thanks to all who responded to this...I have that ethernet card
working now too :)
Now, a couple of new (and old) problems still to be resolved, or
at least see if they are known :)
1 - anyone get 'network' lockup using Linux? We have a network
of three computers right now, two running Linux, the third
running Unixware, that we are hooking up to the Internet
this afternoon. It seems that once in a while (pattern seems
to be rlogin'ng out of Linux (rlogin in works fine)), the
whole network locks up (can't type anything on any of the
systems) until we reboot one of the Linux systems...anyone
experience this, or have any ideas of a possible cause?
2 - mounting Linux file system to Unixware using nfs. All of
a sudden yesterday, I started getting those 'RPC' errors
something about Program authentication or whatever it is :(
I know it was greatly talked about before, and I looked
back through *all* the articles that my University news
server has in comp.os.linux, and can't find the thread, so
it must have expired.
It seems to have just sprung up, because we've been using the
nfs stuff for the past week or so, and even had one fs
nfs-mounted when I tried to mount another and got the error
Please...why did the error occur...and why just suddenly? :(
and of course...how can I fix it?
3 - nntp inews...anyone have a working copy? I got nntp-1511A
from tsx-11 (I think, or sunsite), and got the nntp server
running on the one Linux box, but when I compile and try
nntp-inews on the other, it just grinds away at the hard drive
for two minutes, and then just hangs. If we try on the Unixwar
box, we get an error back at least...saying it can't find the
news host, so if that was the problem, wouldn't the Linux side
produce the same or similar error instead of hanging?
Thanks for any insight or help you may be able to offer...
