[luau] Knighthood for 'father of the Web'
cnn: http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/12/31/britain.honors.webman/index.html Knighthood for 'father of the Web' LONDON, England (CNN) -- The computer wizard dubbed the father of the World Wide Web is to receive a knighthood for services to the Internet. ..Tim Berners-Lee invented the information superhighway known as the Web, which allows anyone with a computer and browser to use the Internet. Famously, he created it in his spare time, and gave it away for free... ...He wrote the program which would later become the Web for his own private use while working at the European particle physics laboratory, CERN, near Geneva in 1991. It initially received a luke-warm reception -- one of his superiors wrote it was vague but exciting -- but Sir Tim went on to write the first Web browser and Web server, both of which he gave away on the Internet in 1991, and the Web was born. While other Internet pioneers went on to become multi-millionaires, he insisted that his creation should be free and globally available, and has fought to ensure the Web was never privately owned... slashdot: http://slashdot.org/articles/03/12/31/0047251.shtml?tid=126tid=95 bbc: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3357073.stm
Re: [luau] Network questions
Are you assigning the computers ip addresses that are in the same class as those being offered by your Linksys router? If your are setting the ip addresses manually, are you also setting the gateway to your Linksys router? If you have no route through your Linksys product, then you cannot reach your DNS. Try disabling dhcp on your router, and assign ip addys consistent with the settings you choose on the router. --scott On Tue, 2003-12-30 at 22:15, kilauea wrote: I have recently put a linksys router on my Road Runner cable modem and have two (linux of course) boxes connected.

RE: [luau] Network questions
Don't forget to try accessing a known web site by its IP address. If you can access a web site by its IP address then dhcp, is not the issue. I would assume your linksys product has some firewalling ability and may be blocking outgoing dns requests from the inside of your network...Usually this is not an issue but worth checking your linksys configuration. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

Re: [luau] Network questions
Aloha All, Thanks to all for replies. I forgot to set the network gateway to the router. Editing /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 to read GATEWAY = 192.168.1.1 fixed it. Also, thanks for the tip on same subnet, that needed adjustment too. Happy New Year!
[luau] Routing table problems...
Aloha and Hauoli Makahiki Hou, Today a strange thing happened. My routing tables got messed up and now although I can fix them, they don't stay fixed when the network restarts. I can't seem to find any reference to files that hold the 'non-volatile' parts of networking info to track down the problem. So any help would be greatly appreciated. My box is RH 9 behind a router/firewall. This box uses a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.21 and .22 (two nics). Right now only eth0 is connected. The router is IP address 192.168.1.1 on the LAN side. Everything is OK with the router and all the rest of the boxen. Just this one box is giving me trouble. This is what I want it to look like when I am done configuring the box. [EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# /sbin/route -e Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface localhost * 255.255.255.255 UH0 0 0 lo 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default router 0.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 eth0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# This is what the routing table looks like when the network restarts [EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# /sbin/route -e Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default router 0.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 eth1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# As you can see most of the entries are eth1, not eth0, and there are a few other mistakes in the table that keep the networking stuff from functioning correctly. After I rebuild the routing tables by hand, all is OK until the network gets restarted. Why is this, and what can I do to correct it? Mahalos in advance, Ben
