RE: Time synchronization for windows95 client
Hi Joel, Just a Guess but try puting it in a batch file, saving it onto your hard disk and puting a shortcut under your all users profile under the startup folder. It should then run auto-magically when you start windows.

RE: Re: Easy hook up of a laptop to a home network
Joel, I know you have already set up your crossover, but a CN8800TPC BNC-RJ45 hub can be found all over the web for sale ranging from $20-40 dollars.

Pros/Cons - eServer 3.1 vs SuSE 7.2 Pro
Anyone care to give me pros/cons/oops, etc on COL eS3.1 vs SuSE Pro 7.2. I currently have a home net w/eServer 3.1 as the NFS/Samba server. I am going to setup another server soon. I mostly use SuSE 7.2 Personal on the workstations. I am a COL refugee (from 3.1, eD2.4). I have no qualms with the DL'd version of eServer 3.1, but since I agree with paying for distros, I am considering SuSE Pro 7.2 instead now. All comments welcome.

MySQL Network Server Setup
Hello All, I use eS3.1 as a linux-only server on a home lan with mixed Linux/windoze boxen. I have migrated from Delphi 5 to Kylix and am developing database applications as well as migrating an existing app. However I need to convert my dbf files to mysql. I run this as a sort-of client server app under Delphi, but not a true client-server app. I will need to be able to centrally access/update/manage the database files from the server. How do I set up MySQl so that each Linux box connects at boot up to the server? I have a /public directory for the mixed lan. I need to have "global" access (w/proper users/security) so that each box can run the app seamlessly connected to mysql on the server. Once I get this done, I can figure it out for the windoze boxen. Can anyone give a Step By Step or point me to a site with this or a HowTO? I have read several books/mag articles, but they are just generic local setup and confusing to this newbie. Thanks in advance and regards, Keith B. ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
