[expert] shorewall and microsoft pocket pc 2002 (ipaq)
Hi , I have a problem with my pocket pc 2002 and shorewall config. I have opened the ports (990,5678,5679) and the pocket is working fine with synce for linux! I want to give to the pocket pc internet access through my firewall. I am newbie in linux and had stuck in this point. Here is my netowork: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:F1:84:33 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:213.249.11.159 P-t-P:213.249.11.190 Mask:255.255.255.255 ppp1 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:192.168.131.102 P-t-P:192.168.131.201 vmnet8Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:C0:00:08 inet addr:192.168.108.1 Bcast:192.168.108.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 the eth0 is my network card and vmnet8 is a virtual bridge for vmware.

Re: [expert] nVIDIA driver breaks X in 9.1
I had the same problem... The module nvidia doesn't autoload the first time after the installatiion... Go as root in terminal and type : modprobe nvidia and then kde. does it loads fine? If yes I found that a good way to auto load it was to enter root again in terminal and reinstall the driver again without removing it... Sorry I didn't found any more delicate way but I am very newbie in linux... 25 2003 17:59, / Ken Thompson : Howdy folks, I installed the 4349 nVIDIA drivers yesterday and poof, no X. The Xserver just cycled through opening to a background to console and back. After it finally gave up there was a message about not being able to load glx.something-or-other.o Any clues as to why?? I installed it just fine in 9.0. This 9.1 is a standard install with updated through mandrake-update. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] slow samba
How they are connected? In my home I have direct connection 100Mbps(reversed UTP) from a linuxpc to winxp. from WinXP I can read about 9MBytes/sec (50%network indication) from the linuxPC I get about 2-3 MB/sec (20% network indication) I have mandrake 9.1 with built it samba. Seems that the linuxpc is 200% faster in transfer :) When I had both of the with WinXP I was getting 20% network. :( 19 2003 20:29, / Brant Fitzsimmons : Miark wrote: On Thu, 19 Jun 2003 01:11:56 -0400 Brant Fitzsimmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Can anyone tell me why it's not possible to get a transfer speed of more than 3 to 4 MBps when transferring files to or from a Windows file server using a Linux client, or to or from a Samba server to a Linux client, when you can get 8 to 9MBps when transferring files to or from a Samba server using a Windows client?

Re: [expert] Vmware kai IPAQ
12 2003 06:01, / James Sparenberg : Question here... is it a USB device? Really dirty way might be to do /etc/init.d/usb stop before loading then /etc/init.d/usb start after it's discovered. Don't have one to test this theory on ... just an idea. yes it is a usb device. I don't want to disable USB, I want to leave the device alone (it cannot be used anyway) to use it with vmware machine. manolis Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

My understanding is that you can tell hotplug not to react to specific devices here (in this case it would be the device Linux thinks you have I believe you said it was a scanner.) then vmware handles it from there. Since I don't have much in the way of USB here. http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/ Is the website for hotplug more info might be there as well. But my best opinion on this would be that hotplug would be the key since it controls how usb devices are handled. James __ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Vmware kai IPAQ
I installed vmware for linux in my mandrake 9.1. I want to use it for eVC for pocketpc programming with my ipaq. I have a problem: sometimes the vmware machine when I plug in my ipaq doesn't respond quickly and the device mounts itshelf in the hardware list of mandrake as scanner (lol). After that vmware responds that the device is being used by system and cannot be locked for win98 virtual machine. the question is how to prevent this? how can I disable the mounting of ipaq in linux as scanner, or how do I unmount it simply? thanks in advance...

Re: [expert] help with greek!!!
I don't use the keyboard layouts of kde. Simply because it doesn't work. If I install there greek layout as secondary layout I cannot write english. Iget greek letter both for english and greek and no toning too. I use the option in mandrake control , hardware keyboard as you propose but no luck.! thanks for the concern/ 09 2003 00:34, / charlie : On Sun, 8 Jun 2003 10:07 am, manolis sent this :- After my installation of mandrake 9.1 I have one little problem. I use the greek keyboard but I cannot enter punctuation notation marks on vowels. Are you using the Greek keyboard layout? In big K, Configuration, Mandrake Control Centre, Hardware and Keyboard. Though it has not happened for some time, I have had to use different keyboard layouts to get the right one, even though it was not the one that I thought would work? If the Greek layout doesn't work for you, try the US or the US international. No guarantees, just trial and error. I have no need for Greek letters.
