Re: [newbie] Modem detected but not supported
The moral is, if you must have a WinModem, get one with a Lucent chipset. I haven't found one yet that I couldn't get to work with the free driver, and the whole modem costs less than the Conexant driver. I find the Linux distros should put on warning on their boxes saying use a ext. modem. Imagine someone who decides to buy a computer without an OS and an internal modem .He decides to install Linux but the modem is not detected/supported. How do you get to download a driver without a functioning modem? When I bought this machine, they sellers told me I would have no problem with Mandrake and the int. modem ( I don´t have Windows). I am suspicious and still had my external oneso they could send me a driver. Maryse Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Many thanks Ken ( currently printerless :o) Ken; I've had some pretty good success with GNet print servers by doing the following; On your Linux system(s), add an entry to the /etc/hosts file that says; XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Print_Server where the XXX notation gets replaced by the IP address of the D-Link print server. I also suggest that you replace the capital P S in the name of the Print_Server with lower-case letters. Linux seems to prefer that. You should try accessing the print server using LPD if it supports that protocol. Once you've modified your hosts file, try setting up the printer server using MCC's printer wizard. Use the same name that you entered into the hosts file ( Which should be identical to the name entered into the print-server itself. IIRC, D-Link has a web-based interface that you can use to manage the unit and change the name to all lower case. Once MCC finds the print server, it should also show you the connected printers. If that doesn't work, check the Windows Print sharing and NetBios setting of the print server. If it gives you an option for the workgroup name, change that to the workgroup that your network is currently using, and try MCC's Printer Wizard with a search for a Windows/Samba printer.

The devices (3 of them) are found by Mandrake Device Manager, but we are so far unable to load the Diva server drivers from their website (www.eicon.com). As they didn't have any mandrake drivers available we chose the latest Redhat ones. However, they don't seem to work as the config script blurts out errors about invalid module format when it tries to insmod them. What script? Oh, I see, you are asked to run a script after installing the rpm. http://www.eicon.com/worldwide/products/MediaGateways/DivaServerforLinux .htm?dl=1regID=11401 mentions drivers for specific kernels from some distro's. Those drivers are compiled for those kernels and will not work for other kernels. You could try this: - If you require another distribution or kernel version, please fill in the Requisition form. Your information will be submitted to a pre-sales consultant who will be pleased to contact you to discuss your commercial and technical requirements. - When you click the Diva Server for Linux - Version 7.0 download link it says: Diva Server for Linux allows Eicon Diva Server adapters to be used with the Linux operating system for SuSE, Red Hat or generic Linux distribution and Source level RPM: Build Diva drivers or binary RPM package for custom kernel from source code Kernel 2.6.X Support so they suggest it is possible to compile the drivers for the Mandrake kernel you are using. I haven't found any source code but I probably didn't look good enough. If you can't find it either then maybe you should contact their technical support. They offer Linux drivers and some of their software is licenced under the GPL so they seem a Linux and FOSS software friendly company :) Another idea is to post to the Mandrake expert list. http://www.eicon.com/worldwide/products/MediaGateways/DivaServerforLinux .htm also metions isdn4linux ( http://www.isdn4linux.de/ ). I have no idea if that would give you fax functonality. Has anyone succeeded in installing a diva server (ISND) card software on Mandrake 10 ?? Any suggestions for alternative software to use ?? (the idea is to use the card to send outgoing faxes) http://www.eicon.com/worldwide/products/MediaGateways/DivaServerforLinux .htm mentions isdn4linux ( http://www.isdn4linux.de/ ).

[newbie] Printer Sharing and MDK 9.1
I have searched www.mandrakeusers.org for this solution and haven't found any. If anyone can tell me what I need to be doing or a page that has the answer, that would be great. I have a headless 9.1 server with a printer attached. I want to make this printer available to both Linux and Windows machines. How should I configure the printer to be seen and usable by all? I would assume CUPS. I can set it up via the web interface, but I don't think that CUPS will allow me to do the initial sharing of the printer. I would also assume that I should use the MMC through the command line to setup and share the printer. Is this all correct? Am I missing something? Thanks for the help.

I have had to search the net with another machine and download modem drivers before being able to connect to the net and get the rest of the drivers I needed. For the most part, I have had less trouble getting hardware to work with Linux, then with Windows. The exceptions tend to be installing NEW printers or winmodems when I have the drivers provided by the manfacture. Unfortunitly, most winmodems and winprinters do not come with Linux drivers. By the way, exactly what does the box say about hardware requirments? I have not bothered to read it in a long time! I know the supported hardware lists on the net tend to be a bit conservitive.

[newbie] Title of 8.2 disks?
Yo; I'm a fairly novice Linux user, though I've used Mandrake, RedHat, and YellowDog limitedly over the last couple years. I have Mandrake 9.1 installed on this particular box, but I have a program or two that I want to install from my ol' Mandrake 8.2 CD's.

My apologies if I left out any information you need. Thanks in advance for the help. Do you have more than 1 network interface? Mandrake will assume you connect via eth0 Take a look at /etc/sysconfig/network You should have the line GATEWAYDEV=eth0(assuming you connect via eth0) Also open a terminal enter 'su' (without quotes) to become root user, enter 'ifconfig' You will see the configuration of your Ethernet. If DHCP is working you will see an IP address registered. If that works try 'ping 216.109.118.66'(Ctl C to stop the test) If that works try 'ping www,yahoo.com' If that works you should have net access. If not take a look at /etc/resolv.conf It should contain nameserver=IP_Addy of_ISP DNS_server Refer to your ISPs support pages for the address of their DNS server. If you use DHCP it should get added automatically. HTH derek TIP :- Alt+F2 will pull up a run box. Enter 'kdesu konqueror' to get a copy of konqueror running as root user.

On each computer install the openssh-server and openssh-clients packages. Now on your KDE Konqueror URL line enter fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/directory where username is a valid user name on the remote computer and hostname is either the IP address or the name of the remote host as defined in your /etc/hosts file. /path/to/directory is the directory name you want to access on the remote host.

Re: [newbie] can not connect to the internet
Do you have more than 1 network interface? I have only one nic. Take a look at /etc/sysconfig/network You should have the line GATEWAYDEV=eth0(assuming you connect via eth0) All it sais is networking=yes Also open a terminal enter 'su' (without quotes) to become root user, enter 'ifconfig' It only lists loopback interface information. It sais nothing about eth0 I noticed two more things this bootup that may be helpful.: During bootup: interface eth0: failed At the mandrake control center: It showed eth0 near bottom, but at the top it said lan. I configured it for cable. I ran the wizard again and told it I'm on cable, but it never applied. It just hung for a long time, and then I closed it.

Actually I played a bit with that. However, I got a Home Theatre, and one of the lights of the amplifier blinks whenever the sound card is not active. In that way I know that it is not just a matter of not enough volume and such. Thanks for the feedback. Is your amplifier connected to the soundcard with a digital S/PDIF cable (optical or coaxial)? HTH, -Frans I do not really know, but I would say it's coaxial, otherwise I would have Cambridge (the make of the Home Theatre) boasting of optical connections in the manual, etc. Teilhard. You said earlier: My sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1. Here is a link: http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?prodid=572 . It says: - Take advantage of the digital connection to Cambridge SoundWorks DeskTop Theater 5.1 DTT3500 Digital speakers and the analog connection to Dolby Digital-ready home theater systems - You should be able to see whether your cards digital or analog output is used by consulting the cards manual and checking to which connector the cable to the amplifier is connected. I think you use the digital output and the blinking light on the amplifier means it's not getting a (recognised) signal. In alsamixer digital input and output is labeled IEC958. HTH, -Frans Thanks. I know I am using digital output, so, maybe I just need to set IEC958 in alsamixer in order to make the system work. However, I have searched everywhere for alsamixer, and I do not find it. Just today I installed drakxtools-newt, and I do not see how to unearth the applications it gives. If you would be so kind enough so as to reply, please tell me how can I have access to the different programs and applications in KDE besides the ones in the main menu. Cordially, Teilhard.

You might get a better answer if you started a new thread with the title printing a *.pdf or something of the sort. Although your question is very vague, are you having trouble printing pdf documents that you opened with Acrobat Reader (acroread)? Mine worked from the install, but there are configuration options about what printer to print to when you choose print from the Acrobat topbar. This needs to be pointing to your printer. Also Generic Unix LPD printing system in the dropdown box works for me, even though CUPS is what I use primarily. hth e Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
