Thanx, works beautifully. I could not locate the routing instructions made by ppp when the modem got connected. So i thought of writing one myself. How do i get the gateway from my ppp0. Ifconfig gives the entire details. There was a thread sometime back to mail the ip address received from the modem, but i could not locate it from the archives. If someone is using it please post it on the list. Philip had written a script to this effect. By the way, when is the next meet. Thanx Noel.

hi luggers I have got a trivial yet frustrating problem at hand. Whenever I use the mouse the mouse pointer automatically goes to the left hand top corner of the screen and refuses to budge from there. I have tried all sorts of things to rectify it however I couldn't find a remedy. Can anybody who has had a similar problem please help me out? Thanking you in anticipation ------------ Kapil Karekar tuxkapil(a)yahoo.com GNU/Linux registered user #226893 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

smb problem
by shailesh bhate 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

Hi All, I am configuring samba server on linux PCQuest 7.1 based on redhat. My smb.conf goes like this ---- [global] ...... ....... guest ok = yes [data] guest ok = yes .......some more lines............ I think by configuring like this anybody should be able to see the linux server on windows domain and see the contents without asking for login and password. I am able to see the server in network neighbourhood but am not able to see "data" in it. It is asking for login and password. Please let me know if I might be neglecting any configuration elsewhere..... Regards Shailesh

Hi, In RH 7.0, when I use reaplayer 8.0, the following error message comes: "cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it" Audio CDs are playing fine.
