I have a DSL connection with a modem that is designed to allow only a single machine to access it. It worked fine with MacOS when I first installed it, but it didn't work with Linux until I discovered that it authorizes a machine when that machine uses the DSL modem to resolve a DNS query. Tech support was completely useless, and I only found out about it when I listed all the differences in network configurations between the Mac and the Linux box and then experimented with the results. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
