KVM switch and debian

2005-11-03 Thread Richard Swen

I currently have the following setup at home.

Linksys DSL Router working as a DHCP Server.

1 Windows NT machine with an HP DeskJet 960C printer
1 Windows 98 machine.

This is what I want to do.
Install Debian Sarge on a new machine.
Connect the Windows 98 and the new machine with a Linksys 
KVM2KIT (2 port KVM switch).


Question:
Are there any pitfalls which I should be aware of, or any 
special considerations I will need to think of when I 
install debian.


Thank you,
Richard Swen

Re: Troubleshoot FTP

2005-09-22 Thread Richard Swen


Sorry if this isn't the right place for this but I don't know where 
else

to turn.

A client of mine has recently started having connection problems to my
ftp server hosted under Debian. He says he simply cannot reach us. I 
can
ftp just fine to his server. They think we have changed something on 
our

end that would cause this problem. I've checked our access-list on our
Cisco but there's nothing there blocking ftp connections.

I'm planning on a little field trip to their office over the next week 
to

try to troubleshoot the problem. What methods can I use to find out
what is stopping the connection. The only methods I know of are ping 
and
traceroute but that's not going to tell me what's causing the problem. 
My

server is connected via Sprint. Their server is connected via Verizon.
Personally I think it's something on Verizon blocking ftp from their 
end
but I need to be able to prove it to them so they will go after their 
ip

provider with the evidence.


Here are something to think about:

I'm not certain about the port used to do ftp, but if the client is 
blocking

the port for some reason, it would explain the problems communicating
with the ftp server.  In other words, the problem could be at the remote
computer and not the server.

HTH.

Sincerely,
Richard Swen

newbie question concerning linux install

2000-09-01 Thread Richard Swen

Currently with much effort I have been able to finish part of the install
on my computer configured as follows:

p3 550mhz
128megs of ram
vodoo 3 3000
soundblaster live
3com 3c905c
Maxtor 13.0gig UDMA/66
ABIT BE-6 II Motherboard
IOMEGA 250MB Zip Drive
3com 56K Fax/Voice/Data Modem


Currently I have the hard drive partitioned as follows

NTFS:  5GB
NTFS:  4GB
Linux Swap: 256MB
Linux EXT2: 4GB

I can complete every thing but make the drive bootable.
When I try to make the hard drive bootable, it seem
like the CDROM is detected as having the MBR.  I may 
be mistaken on the device names but here is what I 
remember.

CDROM  hda
ZIP Drive  hdb
Hard Drive hde

Thank you,
Richard Swen
