by rdkoli＠excite.com 11 Aug '01

11 Aug '01

I have a Mandrake 8, installed on my PC. I use KPPP to connect to the net. I havent had any problems connecting to the net. but when i try to browse the net i could not. what could be wrong? I tried pinging to the ISP and some sites like yahoo, with www.yahoo.com but it just said "unkown host: www.yahoo.com". I then tried pinging the local and remote machine with the IPs i got frm the tail command, and it gave me the result. Pls guide me what could be wrong and what i should do?

Mount points
by Sameer Shinde 11 Aug '01

11 Aug '01

Hi, During the installation I found following options in mount point: / /boot /usr /home /var /opt /tmp /usr/local why r they needed? How much space should one assign for each of them during the installation? When you do the installation, where does the packages get installed ( i.e. in which mount point \ directory) How can I mount my Windows partitions in the RHL 7.1? Thanks & Regards, SAMEER :)) ~~~~~ My Messanger IDs MSN: s2sameer Yahoo!: s9sameer RediffBol: s2sameer Indiatimes: s2sameer AIM: s2sameer

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Windows/Linux IP forwarding?
by premstud＠vsnl.com 10 Aug '01

hi krishnan, i think are confusing DSL with a leased line serial connection. firstly for every DSL connection, if u started getting 4 addresses ( iam confused by what u mean by ur description of addresses here) then we would be out of stock of ip addresses in a day. ur suggestion might be right , but i would like to modify it like this without ip forwarding, |--------| ______|__ |--------| ISP | 1 | | | --------|WinBox | |LinuxBox| |__ ___2_| |________| | |----- To private network in this case, the connection from ur isp goes to the usb port A crossover cable connects the linux and the windows box. A static route is added from the NIC 1 to the linux box with NIC 1 as the gateway for packets destined to the linux box. The lan connects to the windows gateway through the 2nd NIC, and is seprated from the external network. awaiting ur comments :) regards, prem.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] SHell Scpt : Del a line..

>Hi Folks, >While doing Shell Scripting, If i need to alter/delete a line or a part >there-of, >is there any direct way, or do I wite all the contents into a new file, >ignoring >the "to-be-deleted" line / write the modified line.... You can use sed for that. Its suppossed to be the best for text manipulation. Perl is what I prefer anyways. To delete a line a simple command is sed -e 'nd' filename. where n is the line number. Visit this guide from LDP: http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html Its good for startup, has a lot of examples.

U dont have to enable ip forwarding on ur windows box, if ur having ur linux box with a static ip. Setup ur services on ur linux box and have 2 nic's , one for the wan and one for ur internel lan, and don't ever enable ip forwarding on ur cards, unless u want outside people to access ur lan,and since it is with a static ip, firewall it properly.. regards, Prem.

Using peer-to-peer in win98. we are able to share and browse the hard disks of other clients from my machine. Is it also possible to mount other win98 clients on my linux box in a similar fashion.

Thanks! I had a similar problem. I needed to send only text messages to certain persons, but however much i tried to change the setting of my outlook from html to plain text, it would revert back to html and send messages only thorugh html. I later found that i was infected with VBS/Haptime virus due to which this problem occurred. When the system was cleaned, i was able to set it correctly to plain text.

ALSA and aRTS
by Amish Mehta 10 Aug '01

10 Aug '01

Hello All, I recently installed ALSA drivers from PCQ CD(Aug 2001). After I installed ALSA the system started giving ringing sound. I noticed that if I stop aRTS server I get normal sound again. Basically I prefer aRTS as it blends two simultaneous sound events and plays both at same time. But I prefer ALSA too as default 'sndconfig' driver only plays at 48.8KHz rate. Another problem is if I do not start aRTS and I open 'kmedia' it internally starts aRTS. Also KDE seems to use aRTS if available. What could be the problem? and solution? I use i810(AC97) sound card. Thanks in advance. Amish.
