Hey... I have my P133mhz compaq 5380 into a docking station with a full HD install..Now I need to get the NE2000 NIC that is built into the docking station to work... I found this in the forums.... WILL THIS WORK??? JUST CURIOUS... If this works, do I need to put this in my bootlocal.sh in order to bring up the card after reboot??? ***************** Try opening an xterm and typing: sudo su ifdown -a modprobe ne (or is it "modprobe ne2000", I forget) ifup -a exit and then run netcardconfig You may be able to specify the irq/io with something like this: modprobe ne irq=10 io=0x300 or insmod ne irq=10 io=0x300 Hope this helps.

Hey, eventhough no one answered, I did get this to work withI got it to work... ifdown -a modprobe ne irq=10 io=0x340 ifup -a then ran netcardconfig... it is up and going... Had to go into BIOS and check address of NIC in docking station... Posted by AwPhuch on Mar. 29 2006,03:52
Yes...you have to put it in /etc/bootlocal.sh to activate at bootIf you pull a DHCP address from a network add pump -i eth0 right after the modprobe line congrats on getting that sucker running P.S. If your sound isnt running I have the command to get that going to Remember it takes pcmcia cards not cardbus Brian AwPhuch Posted by NewDude on Mar. 29 2006,15:30
Yeah, post the command for the sound if you don't mind...but I am not really worried about the sound because I don't want the machine getting to bogged down with running sound. This machine is going to be my email, web, and forum server. My server out in my garage(DELL Poweredge 2300 server) where I run it all from right now, I will have to turn it off soon because summer is coming and it will get to hot here. So I figure that this old laptop might as well do something and since DSL is so light weight, I wanted to test it as a webserver/email server. I install XAMPP last night and Apache, MySQL, PHP, SQLite, etc... are all running great and not taking up to much resources even when I used the tests that XAMPP people provided to tested the software to make sure everything worked. It was working so much better than I expected. Funny eh.??? P133, 48mb, 2.1 GB... running my website and forum... I still have to install PHPBB and get it setup. But I am in need of a good free email server program with webmail. It needs to be able to turn off Open Relay.... Do you know of any? I was looking at Merak, but after reading it, it might take to much to configure and might be made more for Fedora or Mandrake... the heavy hitter Linux OS's... I need a real light weight email server, even if it doesn't come with Webmail, I can write my own using PHP or Perl... Plus there is plenty of sample code and code already written I can tweak to create my own webmail. If you or anyone knows of a good email server that is light weight...please let me know. I only need 4 users accounts for it, it doesn't have to be a full blown email server, mainly just so I can turn off the open relay... I hate spammers using my system to relay their crap... and maybe a anti-spam option with it... if not, I will figure out how to filter out the spam... Thanks....

Does anyone know anything about: postfix + dovecot + MySQL I guess if you use those 3 together, you can create a pretty nice email server system? I have MySQL installed and running.... but don't know about dovecot... and postfix... |
