> what do the mail logs say about this particular mail? > > (Name service error for machine1.mynetwork: Host not found, try again) > bjsamuels(a)beenthere-donethat.org.uk > is machine1 acting as an smtp relay or just an ipv4 gateway? I used eximconfig, supplied with Debian, to set exim up as a relay. In the exim.conf I have: # The setting below allows your host to be used as a mail relay by only # the hosts in the specified networks. See the section of the manual # entitled "Control of relaying" for more info. host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 : 192.168.1.0 I also have: local_domains = localhost:mynetwork What makes me think that the problem my be on machine1 is that if I try to send an email from machine1 (Exim) to a user on machine2 (Postfix), e.g. amanda(a)machine2.mynetwork, it fails. It actually sends it out to the Internet which, of course, fails. I don't know why it apparently ignores the local_domains setting. > is exim set up to avoid dns mx lookups for itself and machine2? I wouldn't know. I would assume that the local_domains bit above should do that although it doesn't seem to work. Barry Samuels

upgrade from RH6.1 for security reasons - I've tried to find out if there are any specific flaws I can fix without upgrading? (7.3 takes 1.4G for a 'workstation' and Ive not been able to cur it down to fit on 1.25G before my patience runs out.) Also does anyone know of a way of making fonts larger/smaller in Netscape - in IE you can just click the 'Aa' but I've not found a way in netscape to do this (other than increasing the size of every font) or Xconfig to a smaller screen which just seems to result in most of the page off screen.

via-rhine.c:v1.10-LK1.1.14 May-3-2002 Written by Donald Becker http://www.scyld.com/network/via-rhine.html eth0: VIA VT6102 Rhine-II at 0xe800, 00:40:d0:27:96:ea, IRQ 10. eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x7809 advertising 01e1 Link 0000. Then with the crossover cable in place, I get: eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of 45e1. and when I disconnect the cable I get: eth0: Setting half-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of 0000. with no further messages when a connection (half duplex) through the hub is set up.

I have Woody and DemoLinux CDs images, but no burner at present. When I do, I can also do blanks+postage-price distribution for ALUGgers. Taking a few CDs to meetings is a good idea.

Unreachable --- suzy.suseland.net ping statistics --- 7 packets transmitted, 0 received, +7 errors, 100% loss, time 8773ms, pipe 3 If I run ifconfig I get: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:DC:1F:95:78 inet addr:192.168.3.70 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::210:dcff:fe1f:9578/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:18 Base address:0x6000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:503 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:503 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:49204 (48.0 Kb) TX bytes:49204 (48.0 Kb) The thing that immediately strikes me is that it is the RX and TX packet count on lo rather than eth0 that is incrementing after each ping. If I look at /var/log/messages I see the following message repeated several times: Jul 13 22:59:52 chocchip kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Jul 13 22:59:52 chocchip kernel: eth0: Tx queue start entry 4 dirty entry 0.

Jul 13 22:59:52 chocchip kernel: eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000. Can someone more knowledgeable than myself suggest what is going on? If I dual boot into Microsoft Windows the network / remote hosts can be accessed without problems. Help! Ian.
