Re: bootp server
1) It would conflict, anyway, since they're on the same port, and 2) Are you sure you want to be using bootp and/or dhcp on the same subnet as your ISP? How would your client host even get an IP? It's pretty unlikely -- unless your ISP is pretty generous -- that you've got multiple IPs with which to play... and even then, if you did, you'd most likely be on your own subnet, in which case DHCP/bootp broadcasts won't get past the router, anyway. Check out the DHCP RFC here for more info: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2131.txt I did some fooling around and luckally my test box has a second NIC so I just set up the dhcp/bootp server on that and networked the freevix/freevo box that way and it worked fine. BTW, I have as many DCHP addresses from my ISP as I want, and I currently have 6 static IPs from them as well..

Re: gnome startup errors

Re: How do you test your router/firewall for security?

(http://grc.com), but was wondering what other tools were available. Get a friend to do an nmap of your site to see what's open. Unplug your firewall from the ISP and put a system of your own on that network card. Do an nmap there. http://scan.sygatetech.com/quickscan.html does scans for free http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/single_index.html ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
