 Thanks for the reply. As a newbie things are not clear for me. So let me

 I have a Public and Static IP Address.What will be the Hostname of my Qmail

You can assign any name to it but mail.xyz.com would be somewhat
conventional and preferable.

 Is there any other requirement at server end except Public 
 Static IP and FQDN.


 What kind of requirement ?

 There are MX Records, A Records, NS Records, SRV Records Tabs in my Domain

 the options and entries.

There must be a Help Section in your Domain Control Panel which should

 You need to configure DNS for your domain and create an address record
 like mail.yourdomain.com which should point to your server's IP
 address. In order to make it globally accessible over the internet,
 you should ideally have a public and static IP address pointing to the
 server. Further, in order to receive incoming mails for your domain,
 you should also specify the server (mail.yourdomain.com) as the MX for
 your domain in the DNS records.

You would need a modem capable of sending faxes (fax modem). The term soft
modem does not refer to a software which you can download. It stands for
software modem, which uses the host system's resources for processing. Many
of the laptops come with an inbuilt modem (which is mostly a soft modem). In
case you don't have a modem already, make sure you either buy a hardware
modem or a software modem supported on Linux since soft modems have been
problematic on Linux. Once you are able to make your modem work on your
distribution, configure efax. You can refer to the man page and the
following links for help:

No, he is totally incorrect and is misguiding you. The linux support
for a pci wireless card is not dependent upon the speed. It is the
chip on the card which matters. Find out which chip is the card using
and then check whether there is a linux driver for that wireless chip
available or not. You may refer to the following sites:

http://linuxwireless.org/
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/

There are some wireless cards which don't have a linux driver but you
can configure most of them with ndiswrapper which uses the windows
drivers.

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

Also, using the latest kernels would help since there a number of
wireless drivers have been added in the newer kernels.

It's possible that squid was not compiled with support for acls based

I think it uses Yahoo Finance only as the data source. You can go to

 Ma domain is www.rkgit.edu. registered at ernet india.(www.*ernet*.in) on

Have you mentioned any name servers while registering the domain name
? I can't see any name servers in the whois information for this
domain. First step would be to get hold of name server addresses and
update the registry.


 The main problem is that it can't pings  i can't generate  dns report from
 http://www.dnsreport.com/

It  does not ping because the DNS is not properly configured for this
domain. When you ping, the hostname  www.rkgit.edu.in gets resolved
and points to the IP mentioned but rkgit.edu.in cannot be resolved.
You need to check the address record for the domain.

The DNS Report for rkgit.edu.in gives the error message: [ERROR: The
parent servers say that the domain rkgit.edu.in does not exist. Note
that the DNS Report only works on domains, not hostnames.]


 though when i open my site from my domain (rkgit.edu.in)
 http://www.rkgit.edu
 or ip 58.68.98.170

Is this some web hosting service or Dishnet DSL's broadband connection
? What are the name servers for this domain ?

 it works.
 Secondly my second site rkgec.com hosted on same server  http://rkgec.com
 pings  gives proper reports.

Its may not be on the same server. It points to a different IP address
61.17.123.186 and the  name servers are also specified.


 can any body suggest what's the problem  how should i overcome?
 it their in my server or from registrar?
 What should i do to activate my mailing services of google?


 i use following mx entries in my server
 rkgit.edu.in. IN MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
 rkgit.edu.in. IN MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
 rkgit.edu.in. IN MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
 rkgit.edu.in. IN MX 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
 rkgit.edu.in. IN MX 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
 rkgit.edu.in. IN MX 10 ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
 rkgit.edu.in. IN MX 10 ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.


You need to update the domain registry with the name server
information for your domain. After that, make sure that these name
servers have been properly configured for your domain. Make the
entries specified by Google for the MX records in the zone file for
your domain. If all these things are in order, it should work
flawlessly.

http://www.thehindu.com/2006/01/23/stories/2006012300241700.htm
http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2005/10/15/stories/2005101502421100.htm

This should not happen since you are changing the destination IP of the
incoming requests and not the source IP. The only situation in which
this can happen is when you have some SNAT rule which is changing the
source IP of the requests to that of the firewall box. And most likely,
you must be doing SNAT for the requests coming from your own LAN and
changing their IP to the IP of the firewall box. So when the hosts in
your LAN access the webserver through its public IP, all the requests
get logged as coming from the firewall box. Just check your SNAT rules.
 
 
I'm not using any SNAT rules at my firewall.
 
 
Do you have a proxy server running on the firewall box ?
 
 
 See my network architecture as 
 
 INTERNET
 |
 Firewall Box ( This box have 4 externel ips on one NIC and 1 private ip 
 192.168.1.x on other NIC. I'm using iptables with DNAT here )
 |
 |
 |(IP 192.168.1.y)
 Gateway/ProxyServer ( This box also have firewall iptables rules to 
 controlling LAN and DNAT for webserver) 
 (IP 192.168.2.X)
 |
 |
Switch-LAN(192.168.2.0/24)
 |
 WebServer ( Problem is here, i'm getting firewall's ip 192.168.1.x in 
 apache's 
 access log entry for all incoming requests to webserver whereas i wanted 
 visitors' real ip)(IP 192.168.2.X)
 
 
 Thanks and Regards,
 Abhiram
 

Are all the visitors for the webserver from the local LAN or from 
outside also ? What is the IP address used by the visitors from the 
local LAN to access the web server ?

Lets say the webserver is on the IP address 192.168.2.w and your 
internal clients try to access the web server using this address. In 
such a scenario, the incoming requests will be logged from their own IPs 
(192.168.2.n) if they dont go through the proxy server and from the IP 
of the proxy server if they go through the proxy server. There is no 
reason why the firewall box's IP 192.168.1.x should be logged in the 
visitor log.

Now assuming that the web server is accessed using the Public IP A.B.C.D 
which is assigned to one of the external interfaces on your firewall box 
and you have an external visitor. In such a case, the incoming requests 
will first hit your firewall box on the interface having the address 
A.B.C.D and then DNAT rules will send them to Gateway / Proxy Server and 
then the requests should get forwarded to the web server. In such a 
case, the access log will record the visitor's IP address as the real IP 
address unless and until you have SNAT happening at the firewall box 
where source IP address is changed to 192.168.1.x, so you need the check 
the firewall rules there. Can you send the output of

iptables -L
iptables -t nat -L

at both the gateways ?

The same logic will apply when an internal visitor tries to access the 
web server using the public IP A.B.C.D.

 All the visitors are from the both LAN and outside LAN. All visitors visit my

 always as 192.168.1.x. I'm not using any SNAT rules on both firewall and 
 gateway using only DNAT.
 
 On Firewall, 
 iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -j DNAT -p tcp -d MYPUBLIC_IP --dport 80
 --to 192.168.1.w:80
 
 On Gateway/ProxyServer
 iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -j DNAT -p tcp -d 192.168.1.w --dport 80
 --to 192.168.2.w:80

The only logical reason which came to my mind was existence of some SNAT 
rule at the firewall box, which you have ruled out. Could there be some 
side effect of multiple port forwarding using 2 DNAT rules ;-) ? I think 
you can post your problem on the netfilter mailing list.

For the time being, if you put your webserver right after the first 
firewall box and give it an IP address 192.168.1.W and use the DNAT rule 
on firewall box to direct traffic to it, it should solve your problem. 
Why do you have two levels of firewalling ?

What is the output of the command lspci ? Is your card being

As long as your are provided with a DSL Router / Modem having an

In case, the ISP gives you a USB device, make sure that particular model

You just have to configure the Network Card on your linux system by 
supplying IP Address, Netmask, Gateway and the DNS servers. This can be 
either done manually by editing the configuration files or using a front

Many of the DSL routers have an inbuilt DHCP server also, so if there's

 Start mc and then move your cursor to the file you want to view.  Click

Okay ... boot in text mode, reinstall the RPMs for X from your Red Hat 
CDs and configure X again. You can also download the latest updates from 
RH9 from http://updates.redhat.com/ and then install them.

Hi there,
i am unable to set my display as 800X600 with millions of colours.
whenever i try to do so X crashes and then i had to set my display to 
800X600 with thousands of colours.

i had tried redhat-config-xfree86 from bash, but in vain.
please help on this problem.

Please try using the vesa driver and also check the Video Ram settings. 
Make sure its high enough to support millions of colours. The BIOS also 
has a setting for the shared Video Ram and some of the motherboards 
leave the default value for Video Ram at 1MB. Make it 4MB or 8MB.

Re: [ilugd] How to mount ISO File from internet

Hi Everyone,
I want to download selected files from a Linux Distribution ISO form the net.
So, is there any means to mount as ISO image directly from the ftp site and download 
selected files out of it.
I tried a lot on google, the only option I found WebDrive for windows, but that didn't 
help much either.
So, if anyone has a solution, do write in
and Thanks in Advance.
Kunal
The iso image has to be mounted has a loop device and then you can 
selectively copy or transfer files using scp / sftp / ftp. But I doubt 
if you would be able to mount it from your end using any FTP client.

Re: [ilugd] Which mirror to use?

Hi list,
While trying to download software one often comes across options to use one
of many mirrors to get the software. What general guideline can one follow
to select the mirror site. Physical proximity obviosly does not work.

Normally one would ping the mirror sites and compare the response time. 
You can also do a traceroute to see the number of hops and time required 
to reach a host. The mirror with the smallest response time should give 
you the fastest downloads. But this is assuming that the network 
conditions remain constant and routes to destination don't change. Even 
after you are able to identify the nearest mirror site in terms of the 
response time, the mirror may have some bandwidth limits imposed on a 
per download basis or could be on a small internet pipe (in terms of 
bandwidth) so you might end up getting a faster download from a remote 
site which does not have any bandwidth restrictions.
 Its
something to do about transatlantic cables, gateways and such but what
exactly?
It will mainly depend upon your ISPs backbones i.e. how it is connected 
to the rest of the internet. If its using satellite connectivity its 
bound to be slower than an ISP using submarine fibre optic cables.

Could getting stuff off Tucows be faster when using a miror in Philipines or
Canada? 
Canada from my PC at the moment !!

Re: [ilugd] Pointers on ssh

can I pass on the internal IP number to ssh?
Help / Pointers would be welcome.

You will have to ask the cable wallah to implement port forwarding on 
his server / router so that incoming requests on port 22 (or some other 
port) on his public IP address will be forwarded to your internal IP 
address. If he has a spare public IP address, he can also do a DNAT 
pointing it to your IP.
