Re: [newbie] WINE
Mandrake 5.x or 6, and which version of WINE? /usr/bin/wine "C:\program files\accessories\wordpad.exe" would run WordPad from windows if your wine.conf file had the right entries and your wine is 990518, but earlier versions use a different syyntax and ...

Re: [newbie] Fwd: Re: [SATLUG] more networking help
There is a limit to the length of cable you can use, and data collisions will be more frequent with more computers on the same coax daisy chain, and there will always be some bonehead who will disconnect the cable from the T rather than the T from his computer. For 2 computers there is also a crossover or "uplink" cable with RJ 45 connectors. Yes, it is true that many Linux distributions have troubles with identifying and driving NE2000 clones. The problem is more the vaeracity of the clone than the Linux driver. Michael Moore aka Civileme > On Sat, 10 Jul 1999, you wrote: > > > Thanks, but the problem was my NE2000 card.

In theory there is a limit, but in practicality, unless you're going to be hooking up dozens of computers, not likely. :-) (Still, though, there are other problems you may run into with Coax, which aren't present in twisted pair.)
