There are 2 options for network printer. One is network printer(TCP). Another is newwork printer w/Ipp(IPP/HTTP) In both options I entered smb://server/ppp(my windows XP working printer name) as printer address and In the subnetwork field I input 192.168.1. after that I hit scan but it tells me: "you are about to scan a subnet(192.168.1.*)that does not correspond to current subnet of this computer (127.0.0.*) .Do you want to scan the specified subnet anyway?"

IE automatically searches for windows shares with the same address. You need to enter smb://server to specify to the browser what protocol to use. If you are using Gnome or KDE, use their file browsers and enter the above in the adress bar. If not using nautilus or konqueror, you'll have to install 'firefox-gnome-support' (do an 'apt-get install firefox-gnome-support') to be able to browse samba shares from firefox. hope that helps, Vibhav Hey, Thanks a lot for your reply!

Hi Rocky,
just to double check:
gcc is a C compiler
the basic use is:
gcc myprog.c
where myprog.c is a C program, not an empty or non-existant file, and
the file name ends in .c as this extension implies that it is C source
code.
would it be possible to show us the output of 'ls -l good.c'?
would it be possible to show us the contents of the good.c file?
cheers,
Kev

So I normally using ssh to connect to my Linux pc by entering 192.168.1.55 as the host. But since this morning I do not even able to use the local area network on my linux PC anymore. My windows machines are still able to get into the internet. Can any of you help me on how to tracking down the problem and solve them please? By the way the internet card used to work is eho.

Re: Battery monitor and sound adjust short cut
On 7/13/06, Florian Kulzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can any of you tell me how can I enable AC Adaptor and Control Method> Battery please?As far as I remember, the ACPI stuff is compiled as modules in the stockDebian kernels. (I have been using self-compiled kernels for a long time, therefore I am not sure.) You can start by checking if thefollowing modules are loaded: ac, battery, power. If they are not loadedtry to modprobe them. If that works without errors you can try to change the setting in the KDE control center again. ACPI support can still be aproblem, AFAIK it is broken in some BIOSes and I don't know how easy itis to set it up on Dell laptops.I did it according the above instruction and I'm able to configure it in Control Center now. But the problem is how can I add the icons to my panel please? I tried Right click on panel-->Add Application / Applet to Panel. But I could not get it shown on the panel. I> Secondly, under Window XP I can use Fn+Pg Up / Dn key combination to adjust > the volumn. But I do not know how to do in under Debian. Can anyone give> some direction please?If that key combination is supported in the Linux ACPI routines it willgenerate an ACPI event which you can use to trigger a short script to change the volume by calling alsamixer. This is done by the acpi daemon.You can install the "acpid" package and run "acpi_listen". Press the keycombination and check if an event/keycode is displayed. "man acpid" has details on how to proceed from there and you can also have a look at theevent and action files which are already present in /etc/acpid.While, after I input acpi_listen I got the following infor YUNNAN:/home/lover# acpi_listenac_adapter AC 0080 battery BAT0 0080 0001processor CPU0 0080 battery BAT0 0080 0001battery BAT0 0080 0001 ac_adapter AC 0080 0001battery BAT0 0080 0001processor CPU0 0080 battery BAT0 0080 0001battery BAT0 0080 0001#I will check on man acpid later.

Sound configuration and mount to usb device
Hey List, I have sarge 3.1 runing smoothly on my desktop. Yet I encountered some difficulties as I'm wanting more features. If any of you could give me some hints regarding to the following items, I would really appreciate it? How can I make my computer speak or sing? I mean I can see the small speaker icon show at the bottom right of my PC's screen(in window we call it task bar but i don't know how linux name it) but I can not hear any voice. Do I need to apt-get install a particular package to manager my sound machinism? What are their names? I do not know the model of my sound card but it works fine under windows XP system. How can I mount to my usb port devices? I have a MP3 player. I can plug into USB port and copy & paste content betwen PC's harddrive and MP3 player. But when I switch to Debian, I do not know how to have access to it. The USB port works fine tested by plug in a usb keyboard. Thanks a lot in advance! Rocky
What's the next step?
Hey, I use netinst CD installed Debian Sarge 3.1 successfully. I only installed base system no any other stuff. I can use SSH to connect to remote server. If you could give me some hints regarding to the following items, I would really appreciate it? Which package should I download so that I can browse webpages as how I'm doing under Windows? This is very important as lots of webpages will give me how-to instructions. Do I use apt-get x? Or something else? What about Desktop management? I think I can either use KDE or X servers right? Most likely I'm wrong. What I want is that I can open a terminal to enter commands not the old MS style, So that I can use Crt+tab to move betwen termialls? Can I use apt utility to download CMS such as TYPO3? After downloading does all of the users can have access to it, I mean except root? If this is possible how can normal users do it? As you see, I'm totally a newbie. The relevant link is highly appreciated as well! Thanks a lot in advance!

I saw somebody says Just need to download few of them. Which CD should I download? If you could give me a URL for downloading the necessary CDS, I would really appreciate it?

kanotix HD installation
Hey list, I'm a newbie to linux. By googling and friends recomendation, It seems debian will be my best choice. Did anyone do the Kanotix HD installation before? If so could you give me some advise? I want to have a dual-boot system on my Dell inspiron 2200 laptop. Where can I get resources to grasb the basic philosiphy of Debian. What is /etc /var etc directory mean. Why Debian has so many directories instead of one? What's the information in the respective directory? If any body could give me some advise on learning to use Debian wisely, I would appreciate it? Thanks in advance!
