Very Computer

Hello,
I have a problem with a RealTek 8139 PCI Ethernet Card. At first Step
I say, that my English is not very well, and I hope you will excuse
this.

My two computer (a workstation with QDI brilliant IV Motherboard with
on board LAN adapter build on Intel's 82558 chipset and the name WORK1
works under Windows NT Workstation; the server with an Asus board, AMD
K6 and two network cards (PCI RealTek 8139 and ISA 3c509B) with the
name: SERVER2 works with Linux Kernel 2.0.35 (German distribution
S.u.S.E 5.3)) are connected via a crosscable. Both ethernet cards
(Intel's 82558 and RealTek's 8139) are 100MBit types. But in my case
they works in most times with slower speed. Only with the following
sequence, I can tell the RealTek to operate with 100MBit.

1.) Both computers are turned off.
2.) Turn on WORK1. Wait until the network is initialisieced. Note:
This only works, if in the networkcard settings is specified, that the
mode which shall be used, is 100MBit half-duplex.
3.) Turn on SERVER2.

Only with this sequence, I have between WORK1 and SERVER2 a 100MBit
connection.

My question is now:

With witch option/patch can I reach the goal, that the RealTek works
always in 100MBit half-duplex mode. The RealTek must work with 100MBit
half-duplex or don't work.

Thanks for helping.

Hi.

1. read the manual. i never do it myself, but somestimes it
helps.
2. get yourself a dos boot disk.
3. boot dos with this disk.
4. on a utility disk that comes with the network card, there
should be a
   diagnostics program or a setup program that runs under
dos.
5. use the apropriate setup tool to adjust half/full duplex,
i/o, irq, 10/100Mbps
   and so on.
6. it should work, so.
7. it worked in my network.

hope i could help

hmmm, you say DOS utils???

i once tried that with windoze....hmmm, the diagnostic-program(the one that
came with the net-card) said that the connection didn't work, and there was
a RAM(what?) failure on the net-card......

it couln't connect to the other machines diagnostic program......but somehow
i could transfer over 600 mb over the net in about 20min......how could i do
that when i just tested that with the diagnostic program.....hmmm wired,
right? i guess it wass because of i was running windows:-))

i tried to run the diagnostic program from a "clear" dos-command and from a
dos-prompt within windows....no succes at all....

my advise: do not trust 100% in these diagnostic-programs.....they may help,
but sometimes they don't.....

Best Regards

Hi,

I have a problem with Samba and Windows95.

There are two PCs, one running Windows95 (OSR 2), one running SuSE

Linux 6.0.

I wanted to create a network connection between those PCs (both with

3Com Etherlink III ISA (3C509b-Combo)), but there is no chance for me.

I'm not a network guru and hope anybody can answer

me.

Windows Network is configured with TCP/IP, no DNS support and with

IP 192.168.0.98. My Linux server has IP 192.168.0.99.

I tried many times to find a configuration with "smb.conf" to get

the connection running, but nothing happens. On my Windows PC I can see

the Samba server, but connections are not possible.

The call of "smbclient -L host" on my Linux-PC shows correct values.

"Testparm" also tells everything ok.

Each of the PCs can "ping" himself.

What can I do to get the system running ???

Help me, please.

Thanks Karsten

I had the exact same problem but I got it to work. Check out this website...it
has a Samba diagnosis:

http://samba.gorski.net/samba/samba.html

I would recommend setting up a share in smb.conf for your home directory to
test out samba. Do that, and then in Win 95, map to
\\servername\username and see if that works.

Are they also able to ping each other?
