[expert] copy - duplicate ethernet
Hi I have had that duplicate problem since Mdk7.2 was issued, and have changed to Debian on the Internet.

Harddrake usually puts 8139too as eth0 and rtl8139 as eth1 on the above with a simple Planet rtl8139. Observe! Debian Potato r2, Slackware 7.1 and RedHat 7.0 all finds my single cheap rtl8139. My latest messages. RTL8139 Iterrupt time blocked, status eth0: PCI Bus error 294 ... eth0: Too much work at interrupt, IntrStatus=0xffdf After that I have manually excluded the double rtl8139 in /etc/modules.conf, this on a machine that was manually set up after installation in linuxconf.

RE: [expert] KDE 2.1 Beta - Theme Manager
Hi, Seriously, It does work on the the latest RPM's, just not alot of themes to pick from. Does anyone have any information on the paths that the pixmaps, wav, and background images go? The themes are stored in a disguised tar.gz archive with extension kdetheme or sth. close to that. Just pick one of the custom themes that they ship and untargz that. kcmshell LookNFeel/kdethememgr (syntax of kdethememgr could be slightly different, I'm doing this by heart here!) brings up the thememgr and shows you the names of the shipped in themes. Also, the login manager still has no background - was there a file I had to delete or modify to get it working again? I thought the 2.1 fixed the problem. I'm in exactly the same situation as you here. Kdm has a beautifull gui now but I don't have a background although I can choose one and I can see it in the preview in KControl center. I posted this earlier and most guys reply they have no problems with it. Bye , Guy.

RE: [expert] Many Port Requests
That's the NetBios port. Windows (95, 98, NT without WINS) pukes out TONS of broadcast traffic (each machine continually announces its exsistance on the network, any shares it might have, trades dessert recipies, I don't know). If there's an upside, I do not believe it is a routable protocol, so nobody is spamming you with NetBios requests. Although, now that I think about it, someone *may* still be trying to crack you on that port in theory (assuming that there was a crackable service running). Add two ipchains lines. One to allow all port 137 originating on the local network, and one right after it in the chain to disallow all other port 137 traffic.

How are you exiting out of the Konsole session? Do you hit the button in the corner, do you Ctl-D, or do you 'exit'?

[expert] Asus P2B-D SMP and Promise UDMA66
I have a SMP P3 system on a P2B-D motherboard. I have ATA-66 drives and I've purchased a Promise controller card to utilize the drives. The problem is that the system locks up when I try and install 7.2. The lockup occurs after the drives are found, the I/O and IRQ are displayed then nothing From doing a search online it appears that UDMA 66 and SMP (2.2.x)has been buggy, is this still the case? Obviously, I'd like to get UDMA 66 working, has anyone tried UDMA 66 and SMP with 2.4? Would an appropriate solution be to install 7.2(using the IDE controller on the motherboard). Install 2.4, then edit the appropriate files(lilo.conf, fstab (did I miss anything else?)), to have Linux boot from /dev/hde. Any thoughts?

That's what I'm doing now. You just have to make sure LILO is in the right place (I think on the MBR).

The background frequently changes to background black and white lines when I open konkeror and others windows (like help window) thenfore I cant view anything.

Yes, Mandrake will automatically allow you to boot Win2K from either bootloader. Just select Windows from the menu. You'll then arrive at NTLDR, where you can select different options for loading Win2K.

Re: [expert] Mdk, NTFS, and Win2000
Thanks to all for the feedback. To be specific - I *know* that I can resize the partition.

[expert] OT - HW RAID Config Issue
I just wanted a quick sanity check. I've installed a Mylex AcceleRAID 170 (see earlier note) with three Cheetah's attached. After almost every reboot, the controller reports a drive failure on the disk closest to the controller, but with the highest SCSI id, 2. There was one exception where the next closest disk (id one less as well - 1) was reported as failed. Anyone else think I need a terminator on the end of the chain? I was hoping for auto to handle it, but I guess I won't be that lucky. John LeMay Jr. Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC, LLC.
[expert] StarOffice Printing Smudgy -- Solved!
Dear friends: Just solved the StarOffice smugdy printing problem with the help of StarOffice tech support ($25 per incident). Well worth it. It took a good half hour to figure it out. You need to use the Printer Setup on the Desktop (NOT the Printer Setup under File), then click on "Match settings locally" at the bottom right corner, then install your printer driver (or compatible driver -- in my case, HP LaserJet 4, which is 100% compatible with my Okipage 10e printer), then close down StarOffice, then reopen it, go back to the Desktop Printer Setup, remove the Generic driver, press OK, and that's it. It will then print clearly and professionally. Well worth the $25. Sometimes you just have to go the source.

No. I downloaded the linuxconf rpm's (from sunsite mirror) and checked them with rpm -K and they checked OK. Install went fine too.
