Re: [expert] Domain Name Server named Configuration
Unfortunately, this doesnt work at all well with my dial up. There are a number of programs that dont seem to use /etc/hosts (netscape being one, but not in all cases it seems, which confuses matters). On my internal network, I often have to use IP for some programs, whereas others are happy with hostnames. The current Mandrake default cacheing DNS and kppp seem particularly brain dead - my /etc/resolve file fills up with kppp entries (one each for the ISP primary and secondary DNS, and never deletes them, so it just gets larger! And then there's the problem with default route for kppp not overriding the system one set after bootup without manual intervention ... 7.1 seemed a much more stable setup for dialup BillK If you have a hosts file on each machine, you don't need a local DNS - use only your ISP's DNS. The DNS entries in winipcfg for each machine must be those of your ISP. -- Regards, Ron. [AU] Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

[expert] ADSL Needed with PAP Scerets file
Hi: I have done a clean install of Mandrake 7.2 with a set of GPL disk to get around the problems that were done with a fresh install from the Powerpack box. However no matter what I do drakenet will not configure and set up my ADSL correctly. I have even tried using ADSL-Setup from the installed rp-pppoe rpm only to find that did not work. So I have updated to the rp-pppoe 2.2 rpm. But still no joy. I have found ppp-conf blank. I corrected this with a text editor copying a config file that was correctly edited back to it. Now I am not sure of the form my PAP Scerets file should take. I have two entries one from the KPPP connector that I am using to connect to the internet with using my 56 K modem. The other from ADSL Setup. Could some expert point me to the right one for use with ADSL. PAP Scerets file is listed below: # Secrets for authentication using PAP # clientserver secret IP addresses ELN/@@ ppp0 "##" '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' * '$$' * My Question which is correct for ADSL use? The second one is the form I have seen before, should it also include the ppp0? I am stuped and have exhusted my knowledge. Thanks for your help in this matter. -- Ralph F.

RE: [expert] MandrakeUpdate doesn't work
The funny thing is that I've had absolutely no problems with speed, or MandrakeUpdate with my install. I'm running it on an AMD Duron 600 with 224 MB RAM with no problems. Gnome Sawfish loads incredibly fast, ReiserFS works great. The only problem I have is that the nv drivers for my Viper V770 aren't too stable, and X crashes when it isn't used over a period of time (a pretty long one). But since i do almost everything in Console anyways, it's not really necessary. As soon as I get around to installing the nvidia drivers that should be fixed completely. Someone else on this list said it best when they said "Before you blame the distro, take a look around to see if others are having the same problems." Basically, mine works great, no complaints here at all.

Or something else? No the problem is some programs cannot seem to map internal host names to internal IP. Seems they try and use DNS exclusively, not host then bind as set. Whilst not something normally done, nslookup (on my 7.1, in which a cacheing DNS was manually set up), nslookup of the local DNS would not return a local machine. - nslookup cannot see the local DNS under 7.2 at all. On 7.2, this can sometimes mean that when ppp0 dies, netscape cannot find the local webserver (internally visible only) etc. Other programs that try and access internal resources may some times also give host not found unless using the IP number. Its also somewhat random which makes it hard to trace. Whilst this is not really a valid test, this is the same symptom as other programs can give (and I cannot remember which ones until I can start testing this again). This is also the same problem the person who started this thread has. I think that setting up a full DNS may be the only solution here. I think you can fix this by going into linuxconf, Networking, PPP/SLIP/PLIP, ppp0, Networking, and unselecting 'Use the DNS of the provider'.

Again, go into linuxconf, ppp0 and check that under the Networking tab 'Set default route' is selected. Personally I don't like kppp much, I prefer to use scripts and 'ifup ppp0', but I think that in 7.2 kppp should load the settings that have been set up by linuxconf. Nope, according to the kppp docs, kppp should replace the default route with the ppp interface once up. In most cases, the system will not work if your internal lan card is set as the gateway, and ppp0 is the interface to the outside world! Whilst setting the DNS as above, I checked the route setting (again!) and decided to delete the internal address set as the default route by the system - I will see how that goes next time I reboot.

Re: [expert] IRQ stuff
You might wish to try using Sounddrake, avaliable [like everyhting else] through the DrakConf icon on you desktop, to set up your card. Its the primary supported method of setting up sound on Mandrake, and generally seems to much better than sndconfig [for my Vibra 128, anyway]. If that fails, then we will deial with the IRQ prob.

Lets put it up # ifconfig eth0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable Looking over the internet this error msg it seems to be a IRQ probl... but I cant find a workaround. Physically changing the interface slot is no good Now here Im stuck! I guess the problem is to do with the irq stuff but to be honest I dont know how to solve it. Anyone has any idea?

Re: [expert] IRQ conflict
Basically, your BIOS can provide PnP information, as well as your OS. Pnp OS Installed is On = BIOS will not provide this info [because Windows prefers not to receive it, and might get confused because it can see more of your hardware than the BIOS can, sometimes] Pnp OS Installed is On = BIOS will provide this information. Linux prefers to use the BIOS as a basis for mush of its PnP work, so you should always turn this on, even on dual boot machines. Something nifty I learnt from doing an RHCE.

Re: [expert] MandrakeUpdate doesn't work
I got the damn thing working. I installed 100dpi fonts during expert install (at least I selected it) but it turns out that they were NOT installed. I discovered this after trying to deal with some really ugly fonts on my system. After downloading and installing 100dpi fonts, it works. It appears that I have finally gotten through all the minor (and semi-major) problems that have plagued my system since installing Mandrake 7.2.
