Re: More Net difficulties
Well, I'm not on a ppp-based connection. I'm on DHCP. And I'm on a PCMCIA Ethernet card. I can ftp and run apt fine. I can also ping people. But I can't get e-mail (just realized to go to freshmeat.org get install-sendmail (thanks Marshal)) to work that one. Netscape is being annoying. I'm going to try re-installing the deb pkg. -Sera -Original Message- Whenever I try and access the net on Xwindows or a text-based program, I can't connect to the network. But when I'm on dselect, I can download packages without problems. Can anyone help me out? How are you trying to connect? How far are you getting? The file /var/log/ppp.log should show your progress when dialing and you can watch that progress by doing tail -f /var/log/ppp.log in an xterm.
Re: More Net difficulties
I'd stick with official debian stuff until you get things working. Adding complexity at this point probably isn't a good idea and sendmail can be a real bear. In any case, sendmail isn't really involved in your receiving of mail in most cases. What mail software are you currently trying to use? I'm trying to use any kind of txt-based one, preferrably the easiest. John Foster reccomended that I use exim (previously), I can't understand 1/2 the stuff the config file asks me for. I was looking at the man pages and they weren't really helping (perhaps a closer look is in order). But it doesn't make sense that the mail prg wouldn't ask for a pop3 account/info. -Sera
Re: Mail prgs (exim)
Well, I'm not sure how the config works for exim. When it asks me for information, I'm not sure just *what* it's asking me for? Like the local hosts thing, and the relay-mail thing. And exim never once asks for the POP3 Server Domain or the username/pass combo that'd be needed if it were to connect to my POP3 acct. -Sera The Newbie Hill -Original Message- Well, I'm not on a ppp-based connection.

One that I have heard good things about is postillion (though I have not tried it). These are both installable with apt. You should probably have fetchmail and procmail from debian also.
Fw: Nics that don't work?
My D-Link card is working fine in the text-based world of Linux. I'm still having trouble w/the graphics-based side of things, but I suspect that's my fault (being a newbie). HTH -Sera -Original Message- Does anyone know if D-Link cards works in Linux?
NetScape bash paths
I've been having troubles with working on the configuration of my connection with the graphics side of things. Can you help me out? Basically, I can't get mail from my server and I'm having difficulties with installing netscape. Is there anything you can recommend I do? Or should I check in different places for stuff? Do you need more information? Netscape (when I try to run it), says that it can't find libXpm.so.4 Has anyone else encountered this? Or could you give me a fix? And the netscape in enlightenment won't run because my path variable isn't set to where netscape is. Is there any way for me to change the menu options so that link points to the correct location that the new netscape (4.6, which isn't working, see above) is in? Do I change the path variable by typing this in eterm: PATH=/the/path/I/want:other/paths/Iwant Does that add those paths to the current profile? Or does it completely change the PATH variable to the above, erasing the former PATH var? -Sera [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- I have had a D-Link 220 working fine before. If you can't figure out the irq, io, etc, run Windows and grab it from there. Some cards have DOS utilities to switch from pnp to non-pnp, and/or set the irq, io, etc manually. Run modconf. for the above card, ne2000 should work fine.

Basically, I can't get mail from my server and I'm having difficulties with installing netscape. Is there anything you can recommend I do? Or should I check in different places for stuff? Do you need more information? What problems are you having setting up netscape? What mail program are you trying to get mail with and is your mail server a POP3 server? Netscape setup fine using the ./ns-install command (at least it *said* it did), and it created the default dir (/usr/local/netscape), and when I check it, netscape's there. My mail server is a POP3 server. It's basically any mail program I have. I'm not sure how to configure it so that it checks my mail properly. I know how to config the smtp side of things, but not the other. Is there some command I should use? Also, I'm running on a machine connected to a network, but my hostname is different from my e-mail address. Could that be part of the problem? snip What version of debian are you running and what problems are you having installing it? I am using slink. I'm not having problems installing debian, it's netscape that's the problem. To find what package you need for libXpm.so.4 do a dpkg -S libXpm.so.4 and that will tell you what package the file is in. It looks like you're missing one of the X packages. Sounds like it. Could be xlib6 or something like that. If you're trying to install Netscape 4.6 on a 2.1 or below system, you'll have to get files from the potato distribution. 4.6 is based of glibc 2.1 I believe and a newer version of netscape-base. I'm using netscape 4.6 on a slink (is that 2.1 or below?). Should I be upgrading? with the apt command? PATH=/the/path/I/want:other/paths/Iwant Does that add those paths to the current profile? Or does it completely change the PATH variable to the above, erasing the former PATH var? The above line will nuke your PATH variable and put /the/path/I/want:other/paths/Iwant as your PATH variable. If you wish to keep your existing PATH variable and add to it, do thist: PATH=/the/path/I/want:other/paths/Iwant:$PATH or something to that effect. the $PATH can be put anywhere on that line. The only thing it will efect is the order directories are searched in your path. Thanks. So the $PATH adds the above to my past one. Which profiles file does this change? I tried looking at the /etc/profiles file and noticed it was unchanged.
Re: NetScape bash paths
Thanks. I'll go try that. -Original Message- Netscape (when I try to run it), says that it can't find libXpm.so.4 Install library: $ dpkg -S libXpm.so.4 xpm4g: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.11 xpm4g: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 Do I change the path variable by typing this in eterm: PATH=/the/path/I/want:other/paths/Iwant Does that add those paths to the current profile? Or does it completely change the PATH variable to the above, erasing the former PATH var? You don't need to change PATH - simply use debian netscape/navigator/communicator installer.
Java-ICQ

ADSL
I'm a Linux newbie! I'm also a subscriber to the debian-users list and I noticed that some of you have an ADSL link. I've been trying to get it to work on Debian, but to no avail. I've used winipcfg to find out the information I need, but Linux is still having problems resolving webSite addresses, especially when I run dselect. Some of the information that the network config file asks from me I also find confusing. Like the gateway question and the Broadcast one, as well as the DNS Server. I'm signed onto Sympatico and they're not helping with Linux config. Is there any way you could give me some kind of step-by-step as to how you did it? Or to help me out somehow? If you need any more information, let me know. -Sera Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: ADSL
Thanks for the ultra-fast non-condescending responses! I really *really* appreciate them. I should have told you guys more specifically what my problems were on. When I'm going through the networking setup, it asks me whether to set the last bits at 0 or 1 or if I have a different Broadcast address. When I go onto winipcfg, I get the following under Host Information: Node Type: Broadcast. This doesn't tell me if it sets all last bits to 0 or 1 or what? Or does it? I also didn't get the Gateway thing. In my winipcfg, it says that the Default Gateway is *.*.*.* (where the *s are wildcard IP #s). Is this the Gateway for Linux? I started by setting everything up like an ethernet device, and the modem says it's in link with the computer, but the computer cannot look up web addresses, when I run dselect under the ats (?-you know, the kind that downloads stuff) system. -Sera [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Robert Rati [EMAIL PROTECTED] The broadcast is the address that your machine will send info out. Usually it is the same as your IP address, except the last section is 255. For example, if you have an IP address of 10.0.3.10, the broadcast usually is 10.0.3.255. The gateway is the machine through which all your requests to the internet is processed. The gateway is usually the computer that allows you to get out of you network. Usually the gateway is the same as your IP address, only the last number is 1. As for setting up the ADSL, the way I understand it is you basically set it up like an ethernet device and everything should work. I'm not exactly sure since i've never done it before.
Re: ADSL
I think I have a handle on it now. Seems I have to download the dhcp pkg. Thanks to everyone for their quick help!! -Sera
