RE: [newbie] Can I network two local machines with a ADSL remote router
Steve, Due to the fire in Manchester I can't get on the internet, but if it is a hub as well, i.e. it has more than 2 rj45 ports on it then this is not a problem. Tony. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stephen Reynolds Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 4:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Can I network two local machines with a ADSL remote router I've just bought a DSL-504 ADSL remote router(http://www.dlink.com.au/products/broadband/dsl504/) so that I can connect two stand-alone machines running Mandrake 10 to my ADSL account. I'm a total novice about networking, but I was wondering if once I have these two machines connected to this thing would it be possible to share files between the two machines via this router? I'm guessing that I'm talking about a peer to peer network here? If it is possible how easy or difficult is this to do with Linux?

[newbie] Lawless Community
Thought I would get up to speed with Mandrake10 Running a P3 733Hz 512RAM box with all four PCI's filled [nothing special nor specific] How my partitions started out from playing around with Mandrake9.1: /dev/hda5 / /dev/hda1 /boot /dev/hda8 /home /dev/hda3 /mnt/empty /dev/hdb2 /mnt/hdb2_boot /dev/hdb5 /mnt/hdb5_root /dev/hdb6 /mnt/hdb6_var /dev/hdb7 /mnt/hdb7_usr /dev/hdb9 /mnt/hdb9_home /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_c /dev/hda4 /tmp /dev/hda6 /usr /dev/hda9 /var So as you can see, two harddrives, windows where it belongs with /empty a partition for backups and sharing stuff betwixt Linux and windows. Now I go for updating to Mandrake10 [ hda only ] Didn't go so well and froze at installing bootloader. Got past that AND got to use the Mandrake Control Centre to install more software. But with things not looking settled, went for the 'clean' install [ without re-partitioning ] and formatting hda5,1,8,4,69 to start things off. Again with the freeze at installing bootloader but this time able to back up one and remove entries within lilo that sought to boot the /empty partition as a windows thing, still made no difference. Able to go through 'Summary' and put some things right even further but... Upon manual reboot, was able to get into Mandrake10/KDE3.2 Now I go to open Mandrake Control Centre and nothing happens I mean just nothing happens, like I didn't even try to open in the first place. Hence Lawless Mandrake10 Community. Any suggestions anyone? Oh, and the main reason for doing the Mandrake10 thing was 'cause I could not get KDE into sound even though sound was there at the start and the test sound made nice noise. Now with KDE3.2 -- dead silence. -- Regards Frank Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.

[newbie] They Needed to do a Study? (Part 2)
Yet more evidence that DRM, Trusted Computing, whatever ya wanna call it, has nothing to do with 'piracy' and everything to do with greed. While file-sharing continues to be blamed by the recording industry for slumping music sales, a new study conducted by the Harvard Business School shows that downloading has only a negligible effect on CD sales. Downloads have an effect on sales which is statistically indistinguishable from zero, concludes the report,...

[newbie] Accessing Secure Webpages: PROBLEM UPDATE
Hi All, I posted the following a couple of weeks and was advised that a change in /etc/ppp/options of MRU/MTU values (both higher and lower) fix the problem. It didn't. As no other advise has come my way decide to have another shot at it to see if it catches the eye of someone who missed it the first time round who may have an idea of whats going on. System: DSE Terminator 1100 Opsys: Mandrake 9.2 (Powerpack, recently installed) Problem: using Mozilla Firebird and Konqueror I cannot access any secure sites, eg those sites whose address bigins https:// etc The statistics panel from kppp shows very low levels of activity which appears to be my hanshaking to the remote in red but the remote is a solid blue line (no response?? maybe??) I have fiddled with /etc/ppp/options to get it the same as one other local Mandrake user. I have added domain clear.net.nz to resolv.conf (both copies). I have checked and rechecked my settings in kppp and the browsers but cannot find the reason for this strange behaviour. As a side note I can easily browse other pages, even with my slow dial-up connection, without too many delays, I can fetch, but not send email. Something is missing?? but what?? UPDATE PART I tried adjusting the MRY/MTU values as suggested but to no avail. Last week did a complete reinstall from the ground up so to speak. Problem still exists,although I can now send mail provided the text is no more than 280 charactors, ie 2 and a bit lines. On longer mails the client hangs at 'sending DATA'. Could this be a smtp config problem and if so how and where do I fix? Could the mail problem be connected to the inablitiy to be able to connect to https:// pages.

TIA David a confused Newbie Very weird. Taylord, have you checked the quality of your phone line/modem connection? Something simple, like an ifconfig, will tell you how many packets are dropped during a session. $ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:98:B4:9D inet addr:192.168.0.242 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::200:39ff:fe98:b49d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:39497 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:39530 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 ^ ^ HTTPS is a more demanding protocol than HTTP. Packet losses can make a HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) connection impossible. In addition to the standard handshake with HTTP, under HTTPS there is public key interchange and symmetric key and algorithm agreement. Dropping packets at these stages may be critical to establishing the connection. Regarding SMTP, I really don't know what to tell you but, again, I would check a possible noisy phone line.

[newbie] More good press for Mandrake
So far, it's been a banner year for MandrakeSoft, makers of Mandrakelinux. In January, they announced a return to profitability, followed by a return to the stock market in mid-March. Sandwiched between these two significant business events, MandrakeSoft released Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community, an early-adopter's release of Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official, due out in May. Even though it's only a public beta, the newest Mandrakelinux is definitely worth the download, some rough edges notwithstanding. Here's why I think so.

[newbie] Run remote gnome-session on local gnome
Under Windows, I can run cygwin and create a X session running in a single window, inside which I can run gnome-session on a remote Linux. I like that usage model. I know about and have used vnc, but I prefer do the remote X thing. Is it possible to do the same thing while running gnome on my local Linux system? I tried simply ssh -X -l into a remote box and simply firing up gnome-session, and gnome actually came up, but it got upset that I was already running a window manager, and got totally confused since I had two panels. I had to exit X completely to get it reset. I haven't found a way to confine a remote gnome-session to a single window under Linux.
