If this is coming from your server then it is using pap or chap.
If you are trying to connect to an isp then this is for you.

It is difficult to see what your problem is without the full info.

Whilst I have never done this in Linux, only in FreeBSD, but you will
have to use NAT (Network Address Translation). Since you are using
Mandrake 7, kernel 2.2.14, it should work. Check out
http://www.csn.tu-chemnitz.de/HyperNews/get/linux-ip-nat.html
Let me know if it works for you.

My DOS defrag took a couple of hours to do a full defrag of an 850 Mb
disk.
I use the options "defrag /f /h c:" which requests a full defrag
including
hidden files. Having said that, it didn't move the windows swap file.
So I had to remove the swap, fully defrag, then replace the swap
file.
Don't forget to save the root and boot sectors with FIPS, when it
asks.
You can get your system back to the point prior to partitioning with
the "restorrb" prog. So if after installing Linux you decide to
restart,
just restorrb and Linux will have vanished :-(

Just use the net.img (or whatever) as it will boot with support for
most
NICs and start the install process. Most distros will then ask you
about
NFS/FTP etc.
No harm in trying ...

In Slackware 7, the apache configuration file is at
/var/lib/apache/conf/httpd.conf -- it has fairly decent internal
comments for
how to turn on CGI thingies.
If you're running some other Linux, there's always: find / -name

I've checked the SCSI setup and just replaced the memory with a new
Registered SDRAM chip (it's a GX motherboard). I still get the same
type of errors. I have 2 CPUs and the error occurs on either one.
My
guess is the motherboard but there are no error beep codes on
startup.
Thanks in advance.

From: Kevin Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I am trying to use IRIS Performer 2.3 on RedHat Linux 6.2 on a Dell
PIII
1GHz w/NVidia GeForce 256. I was wondering exactly how to go about
installing the right drivers from NVidia so that they work with
Performer. I installed Performer after just installing RedHat, and
got
a framerate of 4Hz without textures running the town_ogl.perfly in
perfly. I'm assuming this isn't using the hardware acceleration, so
if
someone knows how to get a GeForce working well in Linux I would
appreciate you letting me know how you did it.

does your provider supports PAP or CHAP
If he uses PAP you don't need to setup a script.
you probably set kppp to use CHAP or a script

If your modem or fax supports distinctive ring, you can use this

Options (any linux distro):

and cost
more than your soundcard if you want to run them plermanently.
3)Wait until Yamaha is kind enough to release info for people to

or releases their own drivers
4)Write drivers yourself and become a hero to every linux user with a

Your graphics problem is a whole other story. Maybe you should

You should be able to fix all by booting from a windows floppy and

Note, this will only work if you can get to your c-drive after

What do you mean by this ? Web server, FTP server, telnet, SQL, NFS,
Netware,
or SMB(Network Neighborhood / LANManager)
I assume you mean SMB. You need to have samba installed, and need to
edit your
configuration file. You need to give us more info, as different
distros need
their files in different places and have different packages.
For redhat/mandrake:
packages: samba, samba-common (samba-client if you need to access
files on
"clients")
config file :/etc/smb.conf
For more info on the config file, try "man smb.conf"

From: Buchan Milne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Not sure, but you might want to edit the file /etc/securetty (can't
check
now, running windows) Uncomment the line of a terminal you want to be
able to
log in from as root.
Is there any reason you can't log in as a normal user and the "su" ?

Subject: Is there a release of linux supporting DMA66?

Mandrake has supported it from 7.0 I am currently in post-install of
7.1
on a machine with a HPT366 udma controller, but running into some
minor
problems. The install, though, wnet very well.
Manrake uses a patched-stable kernel, and also support the resierFS

I need to know if there is a port of Windows media player to Linux or
anything that emulates it. I'm wanting it so that I can stream audio
from
online radio stations and most of them require Windows Media Player.

I failed, while you succeeded at compiling an object file. I
downloaded
the compat.h file, and something to do with pci-scan, but only got
three
pages of error messages from gcc. I also used a dos2unix utility.
If you could give me a cookbook explanation of what you did,
I would be much indebted. I am new to Linux and am obviously
missing something important. I am using Mandrake 7.0 and
suspect that gcc can't find my source and header files.

Subject: Powerd client for other systems?
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:12 GMT
From: "news.compuserve.com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Has anybody seen a powerd client for non-Linux systems, in
particular
Windows NT/2000 systems? I'd like to run several machines from a
single
UPS, but the machines are a mix of Linux and Windows 2000 machines.
I know
the Linux machine can act as a powerd server, signaling the other
machines
when there's a change in the UPS status, but I can't seem to find a
powerd
client. I found one reference on Deja to a client at
http://www.brianweb.dyn.ez-ip.net/~brian/ntpowerd/, but that link
doesn't
seem to work; the browser times out trying to connect to the server.

Subject: lilo, 2nd hard drive, Promise ATA66 controller
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:13 GMT
From: Steve Grimes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Has anyone gotten another OS, like Win98, to boot
off of their 2nd hard drive in their computer
while using a Promise ATA66 controller card? If
so could you send me some tips on what to include
in my /etc/lilo.conf file to allow lilo to see the
2nd hard drive.
I've got my primary IBM drive on "hde" and my
2nd Western Digital hard drive on "hdg". I am
able to pass the kernel parameters on bootup
so that it can see the 2nd drive and it does.
I can mount that 2nd drive also, but I've been
unsuccessful in getting Win98 to boot off of it.
Copy of my lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hde
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=linux
disk=/dev/hdg
bios=0x81
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hde6
other=/dev/hdg1
label=win98
loader=/boot/chain.b
table=/dev/hdg
Thanks,
Steve G.
