Rohit Hi Sunil, Rohit I checked out /etc/resolv.conf. Rohit I can ping the nameserver ip address in that file. Verify if nameservers are responding to DNS requests using: $ dig [some-domain-name] @nameserver-1-in-resolv-conf This works fine for a nameserver address, but the /etc/resolv.conf has a wrong entry in it. I tried changing it, but it resets to the invalid value, the one that is not working for me. If that works successfully, check contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf, esp. the hosts line. Following is the hosts line from my /etc/nsswitch.conf: hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns My entry reads as follows: hosts: files nis dis If hosts line is okay, try stopping 'nscd' (if it is running) and then do: $ getent hosts [some-domain-name] If DNS resolution is not working, try resolving using some other nameservers, like 4.2.2.2, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 . If DNS resolution using other nameservers is also not working, try visiting http://72.14.207.99/ in web-browser if that works. Then you need to figure out which box is dropping UDP packets to port 53. You can also try adding '+tcp' to 'dig' arguments to see if name-resolution over TCP works or not. This numeric IP address is working fine :-) Rohit Also all browsers instantly show a server not found page. Rohit None of them even lingers on the *Looking up...* status. This means DNS is failing... I guess the *problem* has been nailed! :-) Rohit thanks, Rohit rohit.

[ilugd] Cisco VPN 4.8 Kernel 2.6.22 Mandriva 2008
Greetings there, I have been trying this for some time now. I need to install and configure Cisco VPN client on mandriva. This worked flawlessly on mandriva 2007 earlier. The first time it gave me error while compiling, which were resolved by applying a patch to the kernel found here [http://tuxx-home.at/archives/2007/05/29/T16_34_26/] and the patched cisco client is here [http://tuxx-home.at/vpn/Linux/vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz] Now when i try to start the client, i get an insmod fail error in two formats: code [EMAIL PROTECTED] vpnclient]# /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start Starting /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient: insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec.ko': No such file or directory Failed (insmod) [EMAIL PROTECTED] vpnclient]# /code This gets resolved by gunzip-ing the .ko file as .ko.gz (as mandriva expects a compressed module) /me tried again and got the following: code [EMAIL PROTECTED] CiscoVPN]# /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start Starting /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient: insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec.ko': -1 Invalid module format Failed (insmod) [EMAIL PROTECTED] CiscoVPN]# /code So /me is stuck and unable to overcome this problem.

Re: [ilugd] [OT]Port Forwarding
Greetings, Ive discovered that the magic is to use IE to configure the router as any other Browser does not work esp in the advanced commands (eg When I click on Save Reboot thro FireFox, nothing happens but thro IE6 it works just fine!!) The irony of the whole thing is that the DSL has embedded Linux in it. (Telnet into it and you get a Busybox shell). Weird. I have both a 504T and 502T. I have had no problems with using firefox with it. In case of browser problems, I have seen that in some sites where firefox doesnt work out, konqueror works. This is because konqueror has some compatibility features with IE (e.g. support for document.attribute, I think). I atleast remember the braindead net4domains support panel where firefox didnt work but konqueror did. Well i do not face any problem as to changes not taking place thru firefox. My changes are 'commited' to the router for sure.Same with konqueror. my changes are getting saved,but still i am unable to get the request from the router to my desktop.To be sure,i had tried making the changes thru ie too,but same results.

For acessing from outside you will need to know your current IP (normally dynamically assigned by ISP's or use services like dydns (google for it) If not, then clarify what you are trying to achieve. Greetings, Yes i am trying to access the ip:port from inside the network,but in various ways,and it works in all of these listed ways. 1)ip:port where ip is 127.0.0.1(localhost),but in my local network,it maps to 192.168.1.2. So 192.168.1.2:8080 and 127.0.0.1:8080 map to the service on my desktop(say tomcat). 2)ip:port where ip is 192.168.1.1,now this is my routers ip address(internally),so going to 192.168.1.1:80 takes me to my router's config page. 3)ip:port where ip is my external_ip,from whatismyip.com.This ip is that of the router,which represents my network of computers(currently two).So external_ip:80 also takes me to the routers config page(same as 192.168.1.1:80). Now, what i want, when some one accesses external_ip:,must map to 192.168.1.2:8080,and must be shown the tomcat success install page(if nothing else is configured). I have read the concept of dyndns,that is not the issue right now.I simply want external_ip: to successfully map to 192.168.1.2:8080.

Re: [ilugd] [Ilugd-cd] MDK cd's causing trouble!
Greetings there, it seems one of my problems got solved! Prob1: The installer asks for 4 cd, we got 3 cd's. Solu1: i asked the same problem at a mandrake friendly group(linuxforums.org) and there people told me that the 4th cd does come but with the paid boxed product from mandrake. so it seems either they(mdk) forgot to put the fix OR the wrong distro got copied. so i can live with 'KDE 3.2'. Prob2: The installer refused to accept the first cd as first cd!(weird!) Soln2: The reason for this was silly programming on mandrake's side(apologies!), the solution was patience. While installing KPPP on KDE, the installer asked for CD-1, i popped in the cd... and this time did not press OK on the requested dialog box, and in about 2-3 mins, the intaller started to read the cd and the dialog box was gone, and got my hands on to KPPP, so patience worked! :-) conclusion: The cd's distributed by ILUG-D did not have any problems as of bad media or anything(i did check the md5 sum and it was ok throughout the cd). regards, rohit. = NAMASTE, i honour the spirit in you which is also in me. ``` http://www.geocities.com/rohitsz2 |Anytime you feel i need to understand| |a concept before i am eligible to get| |an answer i would be happy to know. | ^*^ __ Do you Yahoo!?

[ilugd] [Ilugd-cd] MDK cd's causing trouble!
[Please try to help Rohit. CC replies to his address since he may not be subscribed to this list -- Raju] Greetings there, i got mandrake cd's yesterday(11-02-2005) from ilug-d stall at LA05. they did help me in getting rid of my initial problem of LBA mode trouble caused by kernel 2.6 AND fedora core 3. i thank manpreet/raj (i guess the guys at the stall) for explaining me why i should go for mandrake. and now the sad part.. during the install the procedure indicated there were 4 and not three cd's needed, the fourth probably had KDE3.3 . also during the install there were about 15 odd packages that the installer was unable to read... given that the install was successful so i was back on track... but when i tried to configure the network(for internet), i did not had KPPP installed (may be i forgot to check it), but when it tried to install it prompted for the 'installation cd-1', which i pooped in and in a matter of 5-10 seconds the tray popped out and there was the same request again.. i tried to put all the cd's one by one but could not succeed. also i tried using the mdk dvd i had but with no success! kindly tell what to do.. thanks, rohit. = NAMASTE, i honour the spirit in you which is also in me. ``` http://www.geocities.com/rohitsz2 |Anytime you feel i need to understand| |a concept before i am eligible to get| |an answer i would be happy to know. | ^*^ __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re:[ilugd] LBA vs CHS mode (was)problem installing Fedora core 1 and/or core 3
Greetings there... just yesterday(4-2-05), i flashed my bios thru intels site and was happy sad to see the results... the fdisk/sfdisk commands showed LBA on my extended partitions( i don know why it aint showing it on the primary). sadly the output remains as-is... i still get the mis-matched output from fdisk/sfdisk. also i removed(wiped) all partitions and fdisked and formated FAT32 all over again.. first i tried to do it with cfdisk(KNOPPIX), and created fat32 partitions. it did happen quickly. after writing to that partition table and exiting, it gave a warning for DOS 6.X partitions that win wants first 512 bytes of every partition to be empty..(man cfdisk) so i did dd if-/dev/zero of=/dev/hda* bs=512 count=1 * for 1,2,5,6,7,8 one at a time with successful changes. /dev/hda2 being an extended win partition(type 5) i had to redo the partitioning thru cfdisk. first i did not 'dd' the /dev/hda2(extended partition) and the doing 'dd' onto /dev/hda2(extended partition) and seeing the effects. (please correct me here as i 'dd' all win partitions ie primary,logical and then primary/extended/logical.) when i put on windows, only the primary partitoin(/dev/hda1) was visible, the /dev/hda5 was not accesible! in both the cases, ie 'dd' /dev/hda2 and not doing 'dd' on /dev/hda2. so i had to fdisk/format thru windows. later when i popped in a live cd, i get the size of the partitions under 800 bytes(eigth hundred bytes) please see this for newer results. http://www.geocities.com/rohitsz2/partition.html so one of my problems is solved .. the LBA mode, now how do i make linux see original size of my partitions? thanks, rohit. = NAMASTE, i honour the spirit in you which is also in me. ``` http://www.geocities.com/rohitsz2 |Anytime you feel i need to understand| |a concept before i am eligible to get| |an answer i would be happy to know. | ^*^ __ Do you Yahoo!?

[ilugd] LBA vs CHS mode (was)problem installing Fedora core 1 and/or core 3
Greetings there... i have been trying live cd's of knoppix/SuSE and i found that i am facing the trouble of LBA vs CHS mode... the output of my 2x40G hdd is here http://www.geocities.com/rohitsz2/partition.html i tried posting the same problem at a couple of forums but have not got satisfactory solution. i have got to learn that i can fix this in three ways: 1)by setting some parameters in the kernel at booting and some ways to make it permanent. [but this would not be global] 2)enable LBA mode in BIOS [though my bios supports LBA!] i would like to add here that i previosly installed fc3 onone of the hdd, though this time i swapped the master-slave combination, so i have linux on my newer drive!:-) and so i did not come across such a bug when i installed fc1(later updated to fc2 and fc3). 3)third part s/w like the ones provided by intel/seagate what i also wanted to know is the effect of enabling LBA thru bios somehow, what will be the effect on current data? i did try searching the net but was unable to find anything useful in this regard. one more thing that made me wonder... while trying the different live-cd's,i got the same report, so is it a kernel trouble ? i tried fedora with 2.4 and 2.6 , SuSE 9.1 and knoppix 3.3 and 3.6 if there is a patch available or something like that ... kindly do tell.. thanks, rohit. ps:link to previous mail: http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd%40lists.linux-delhi.org/msg10247.html = NAMASTE, i honour the spirit in you which is also in me. ``` http://www.geocities.com/rohitsz2 |Anytime you feel i need to understand| |a concept before i am eligible to get| |an answer i would be happy to know. | ^*^ __ Do You Yahoo!?

[ilugd] [OFF-TOPIC] where to get .ogg hindi songs?
Greetings to all, i am using Fedora Core-1. the problem i am facing is that the fedora release has rendered my mp3 collection useless! i am ready to use xmms player but then where can i find these songs? where to find indian songs? i googled but got links to sites which had songs i had seen for the first time. kindly provide links/sources of cd's where i can get .ogg'ed format songs(hindi). PS: i am ruling out the option of converting mp3 into ogg(if that's possible) coz that would be breaking the rulez! thanks! Thoughts from the sender... 4. AUM...(A)ction,(U)tterness,(M)ind 3.

[ilugd] connecting to the net with fedora core-1 and (probably) a winmodem.
Greetings to all.
I installed FC1 a few days ago, i am unable to connect to the net.
i encountered the following problem.
Using KPPP when i 'setup' the connection, on querying modem i get following results.
/dev/ttys0--no modem found
/dev/ttys1--no modem found
/dev/ttys2--modem busy.
/dev/ttys3--no modem found
i am also having windows 98 as second OS. here the modem is installed on COM4.

the drivers for this modem are available for MS windows at
http://www.esstech.com/techsupp/drivers.shtm#comm [second row]
but no such support for linux exists.
also i searched http://65.70.147.202:8080/gromitkc/pci_list.html [from linmodem.org],
the modem is listed under DIGICOM SYSTEMS (2/3 down the page 800x600 pixel).but on
futhur going thru the links, the page seems missing or have been moved.
i got the scanModem utility from linmodem.org and posted at [EMAIL PROTECTED] but got
mail-failed reply.. i am putting here the result of ModemData.txt(if you are familiar
with scanModem)..

=== Fedora code changes ===
SmartLink slmodem-2.9.n, Lucent/Agere DSP, Intel537 drivers are already Fedora
competent. For usage of winmodems with the kernel-2.4.nn Fedora releases a change in
the serial-like driver code of WinModems is necessary.
See for guidance: http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/~wmurray/pctel/pctel.html
Basically , the line:
if ((tty-count == 1) (state-count != 1)) {
should be changed into:
if (atomic_read(tty-count) == 1 state-count != 1) {
This works in the ltmodem code too. See
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-third/msg02360.html
An error about rs_close during compiling is a signature that the fedora fix is
needed
Beginning with Fedora 2 kernel-2.6.6-1.427, kernel-headers needed for compiling
drivers are provide at: /lib/modules/kernel-version/build/
redhat is not yet providing pre-compiled drivers for WinModems
