Hi Doug, I have a slightly different topology to you I have the cable modem connected to the Linux box via eth0 (set to be DHCP) and the rest of the network hanging off eth1 (set to be a static IP). I browse from the other machines via Squid running on the Linux Box. I have not had any issues, I plugged it in, configured it via yast and hey presto it works great. I can even browse from within Windows 2000 running under VMWare on the Linux box (when I have to use Quicken). The above is using SuSE 7.0, I am still waiting for 7.1 to arrive :-( Andy -----Original Message----- From: Doug Finch [mailto:doug@tnns.net] Sent: 01 March 2001 12:54 To: suse list Subject: [SLE] cable modem I am still not able to get this darn cable modem to work with DHCP. I have made both cards (I have 2 NICS) work and when I do an "ifconfig -a" I can see both of them. On my dmesg, I see that it says that for "eth0: no IPv6 routers present" and "eth1: no IPv6 routers present". I am not sure what this is. For the next question. I am running this on a home Intranet with a Win98 machine. Initially, I had set up the network so that all machines had a static IP address. I used 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 for my two linux cards (which I could ping both from the windows machine) and 10.0.0.3 for my windows NIC. I was able to map network drive to my linux box for my web work and use the web server that way. Currently, I have this cable modem connected to the windows machine (so that I can use it) and with IP's set to DHCP, I cannot communicate with my linux box now. Does anyone have any idea how I can set this up so that it can be as it used to be? I went to a site on linux.com (http://www.linux.com/howto/mini/DHCP/index.html) but found in short order that this tutorial was not going to help me. It is for Red Hat 6.2 and some of the directories between RH and Suse are different. I am fairly new to this and not a networking genius either. If someone could help this poor pathetic life form, I would appreciate it.

Does anyone have any experiece with Sybases Open Client Drivers to run the Microsoft RDMS from Linux. I've really had a tough time with it. I had origianlly tried to use the Sybase ASE to gain access but only succeeded with 2 of the 6 I need access to. The freetds completely fails to this point. I can ping all the boxes without trouble. I've tried Sybperl and DBD::Sybase It's very fustrating. If anyone has had expereince, I would apreciate some off list advise. -- Brooklyn Linux Solutions http://www.mrbrklyn.com http://www.brooklynonline.com 1-718-382-5752

Microsoft is a notorious company for being *almost* compatible. If you want to connect natively, you need to be in a MS environemnt (so no Sybase). Your alternative is ODBC, or perhaps even JDBC.

You've got my head spinning. I'm not sure exactly what your goal is here. I know virtually nothing about Sybase under Linux, but I'm wondering why you are asking about Sybase and MS-SQL. There may be a perfectly good explanation, but I'm ignorant. I remember a while back someone asked about MS-SQL and Linux I suggested using the ODBC DBI stuff, and he said it worked for him. If all you want is SQL into MS-SQL over a network connection, take a look on CPAN. I'm not finding this right off on a search, but I know there's stuff out there. If this doesn't help, perhaps you could elaborate more on the specifics of your requirements so that I, or someone else might be able to help. HTH, Steve
Sybase drivers are the bases for MS-SQL connectivity -- MS SQL Server (which they refuse to give a real name) was origianlly a Sybase Rental. You don't think MS could invent a RDMS by themselves...do you. Ruben On Thu, 01 Mar 2001 13:20:39 Steven T. Hatton wrote:

Ruben, Indeed. I seem to have forgotten that piece of ancient lore. MS had some kind of 10 year non-compete agreement or similar arrangement with Sybase. MS-SQL served as a fine stand-alone RDBMS when we were using it. It did exactly what Access should have done. You haven't tried to do replication with it have you???? Be frightened, be very very frightened! OTOH MS-SQL *does* have some really cool icons. {;-)> I never did a lot of daily RDBMS work, but my job kept me close to some pretty neat stuff. Some of our team were using something called Sybase Omni-connect. It was able to talk to many different RDBMSs. After I sent that message out I was wondering if you were trying to use something similar. I guess the question I need to ask in order to justify keeping this on the list is, have you met with success? Steve
