RE: PCMCIA wireless help needed

[Edwards, Thomas W.]

I noticed the results of the iwconfig do not have an Essid set?  It also
states encryption is off.  It appears your wireless card is not
connecting to the wireless network, and therefore it won't get a dhcp
offer since it is technically not on the network.

Having been along time since I worked with iwfonfig, I would suggest
looking at either using it to set the config for your wireless card, or
find the config file for that card and set the essid and encryption
information needed to connectto your access point. 

Good luck, and I hope none of this was way off base.

Subject: PCMCIA wireless help needed


Hi, I would appreciate some help getting a connection to the wireless
network in my house. It is an encrypted network. Here are the results
of attempting ifup. I also show the contents of several config files
and the results if iwconfig and iwspy. Any help is appreciated.

Samba in ADS Domain

[Edwards, Thomas W.]

Has anyone gotten samba 2.2 to join an ADS domain structure,
is Kerberos required for this to work? I believe it is required to be
installed but does it have to actually be configured to work.



Thanks.

ftp with tls

[Edwards, Thomas W.]

Has anyone gotten this to work in setting it up using tls
for proftp? The module mod_tls is built into the core of proftpd, however the
example config doesnt seen to explain where the keys come from? Is
there another setup example of this anywhere besides the proftpd site which I am
missing?



Kinda lacking on docs that I can find on setting this up.





Thanks.

C Compiler

[Edwards, Thomas W.]

I am attempting to install mysql , while compiling I get an error that
says C Compiler cannot create executables?  Does this error sound
familiar?

I put the log below, is there another file necessary for this or is it a
permissions issue.  Thanks.
