        I hate bothering people with my problems, but I'm comming to a =
point
where I have the choice to tear my hair out, or by a Mac...

THE PROB: I have weird telnet problems on my LAN. Sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesn't... There is one Linux machines that acts like a se=
rver
i's called eclipse. The others are Win, OS/2... I have no DNS. Among th=
ings
I have detected that a host couldn't telnet to eclipse if that host was
declared in eclipse's /etc/hosts. So I took out all declarations... At =
a
certain point a machine with ip 192.168.1.8 couldn't telnet if another
machine with 192.168.1.3 was connected. At this point I call that NET-S=
CIFI!

THE SETUP:
eclipse 192.168.1.1     Linux server
death   192.168.1.2     WinfW client
coma    192.168.1.3     Dos, and one day XTerminal
p-spit  192.168.1.8     Win95
oman    192.168.1.4     MacOS
sandra  192.168.1.5     Win95 client

SETUP ON ECLIPSE:
distribution: Complete RedHat 2.1
kernel: 1.2.13
ethernet: 3com 509
scsi: adaptec 1542cf
setup files:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
#!/bin/sh

#>>>Device type: ethernet

#>>>Variable declarations:

NETMASK=3D255.255.255.0
NETWORK=3D192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=3D192.168.1.255
GATEWAY=3Dnone
ONBOOT=3Dyes
#>>>End variable declarations
