07 Jun '02

Hi I am basically trying to switch over from windows 2k to linux. I am trying to set up a router on a 333 Mhz box with 2 lancards with static IPs on both of them. I have set up the IPs on both the cards. Now my current situation is that from the computer behind the router I can ping the local network card as well as the external card but it does not ping and computre on the external network. I am running Red hat 7.2 and I dont hav a gui interface. Thanks Brendon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Some help needed in perl / shell scripting
by Poonam P 04 Jun '02

04 Jun '02

Hi All, Can someone help this novice with a shamm Shell / Perl script to be executed at the prompt. I have a MySql db with TABLE=TEST FIELD=LIST RECORDs= 1pc49 6qh79 sbe59 etc. I need a script that will connect to the db and append each record to a text file till end of database. there may be simpler ways to do this, but i need a script to do this as I have further processing to do. the script can be directly executed from promtp as ./script_name Any pointers will also help. Thx in advance.

Connecting to Dishnet DSL
by Himanshu Shukla 02 Jun '02

02 Jun '02

Hi, I have been trying to get Dishnet DSL working on my Mandrake 8.2 machine. This is a USB modem supplied by Dishnet in Mumbai, and is probably a Conexant-make (as is seen in Windows). When I plug this in Linux, the power light does turn on, as in all USB devices, and on running `usbview' I can see it listed as "USB ADSL modem". But my problem is how do I connect to the net? Is there any tool available, like wvdial, that allows ADSL connections, through USB modems? If not, what are the scripts for ppp? Any specific parameters for Dishnet? Any pointers to the same will prove extremely useful. Thanks, --------- Regards, Himanshu

linux PPC assembly programmers
by Philip S Tellis 31 May '02

31 May '02

if anyone is (or knows) programming under linux on the PPC, specifically assembly, then a friend of mine needs your help. Contact colin(a)colino.net AFAIK, this is non-commercial. ie, you probably won't be paid. It's more like adding features to an existing Free Software project.

NIC drivers. for Debian
by Q u a s i 30 May '02

30 May '02

Friends, As I did not find anyone to lend me the latest Debian CD's :D, I had to look for alternatives. I convinced a acquaintance (who has a 128kbps line in his office) to allow me to do a all night online install. I went along and then there was this problem. His card is a Dlink dfe-538tx and there was no driver for it. (I have Debian 2.2 rel 2 CD's). A quick search on the net told me that the chipset on that card is a rtl8139 one. I tried the install again and there was a driver for this, but it 'failed' to load. Another quick search on the net told me that this is a problem with the driver which comes with the 2.2.18pre21 kernel. They gave a .c driver file and asked to compile and load it. But the compilation failed as it said that the file was written for gcc 2.7 while I had 2.95. Now I cannot update till I have access to the net. I will not have access till the network card works. What shall I do? Can anyone send me a newer version of the rtl8139 driver which I can load in the 'load extra drivers from floppy' phase? It should also work with my current kernel... Or any other solution...? thanks, quasi

Mindrome is not a Red Hat training partner
by Shankar Iyer 28 May '02

28 May '02

Dear Mr. Wadhwa, Mindrome had signed with Red Hat as a training partner, they were never an RHCE center for exam. Red Hat has no association with them since they had not completed the agreement with Red Hat, and had closed the Mindrome training centre even before commencement. Hope this clarifies your query on RHCE exam at training centres.
