For example I can not ping MSI or HP by using the names Reality_Check or Meatloaf_Night nor can I ping the IBM box from either MSI or HP using Big_Nate. So, numbers work; names do not work.

You firewall is probably controlled by shorewall. The config files it uses are in /etc/shorewall. If I remember right, this network uses dialup to connect to the Internet. If so, you can turn off the firewall on the machines not connected to the Internet for now. AS root, run: service shorewall stop service iptables stop chkconfig shorewall off chkconfig iptables off For testing, you can run the service stop commands on the dialup machine when it is not connected to the Internet, and run them with start to turn things back on later. You firewall was set up during installation, and is based on the security level you picked. If I remember right, anything above normal will block incomming ssh connections. Others on the list can give you options for a better GUI firewall setup then shorewall, when you are ready for the firewall...

[newbie] Mandrake Forum - OT
I am new to linux in general (1 week) and have decided to put my individual experiences on the internet in a forum format. I have posted small messages for each of the experiences that I have had in the past week. This is to help me in case I need to re-install and need to remember what I needed to do to get things to work. I also hope that it may help others. I have posted here to find out if this is a good idea or not. The link is http://mandrake.cjt-design.com.

Mikkel Recent versions of lilo offer you the following syntax: other=/dev/hdb1 label=Windows boot-as=0x80 This is an example of specifying a windows boot partition on the second ide drive. The 0x80 is used to fool windows into thinking it is booting from the primary master or drive C:' in DOS-speak. This is not the easiest method, but you can use the master-boot parameter in your /etc/lilo.conf, as an alternative: other=/dev/hdb1 label=Windows master-boot Yet another way is to use the old method, like we did in days of yore: map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80 This would swap the BIOS labels for the first and second drives, thus fooling any operating system. I should like to say that Mikkel's notes in a previous posting in the thread are spot on. I use the method he describes to clone Mandrake drives for one of the computer dealers in our area. I partition the second drive from the first one, copy the OS and so on over to the various relevant partitions on the second one, then before I swap the drives around, I edit /etc/lilo.conf and /etc/fstab as he described, and then use CD1 - F2 - rescue - restore boot loader and Viola!. cheers Duncan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'm not sure if this is part of the question (but it's a problem I had this evening, and got round it be changing the jumpers back) Easiest way ;-) If device hda becomes hdb because the master/slaves have been swapped, how do you update the linux/mandrake installation to look on a different disk? If you really want to change it, then you will need to make changes to lilo.conf before you swap the jumpers. Method 1 - somewhat dangerous First, back up /etc/lilo.conf mv lilo.conf lilo.conf.bak Near the beginning of /etc/lilo.conf you will see a line like boot=/dev/hda That needs to be changed to hdb Then in each stanza you will find that root is being told where to look - in my case root=/dev/hde12 which is partition 12 on drive hde. Keep the partition number, but change the hda to hdb in every place you find it. When you've finished you need to run lilo /sbin/lilo Do be aware that if you get this wrong you will need a rescue disk to sort it out. Method 2 - Probably a safer way is to use your CD1. I think you press Esc when it starts up - there's an on-screen message, so you should see it. One option then is Rescue - and one option on that is to repair your boot menu. That will safely do it for you. I'm sorry I can't be more explicit at this moment but I'm sure you will find it.

RE: [newbie] Setting up an extra hard disk
Method 2 - Hit F2, then type rescue at the prompt. I would use Method 2. I would also leave boot=/dev/hda alone. This will install the boot loader to the new Master drive. You will need this, unless your BIOS will let you boot from IDE1. But change all the root= statments to use /dev/hdb# instead of /dev/hda#. You will also need to edit /etc/fstab, and change from hda to hdb here too. You can then re-install the boot loader. I would make backup coppies of the files first, so if you deside to change things back, you can just put the origional files back. If you have not made any updates to the kernel, then the boot loader on the old drive will even boot things without any changes. Just for clarification, when you say make back ups, the only files are the lilo.conf and fstab. Is this correct? (Having done this sort of thing on windows I was expecting it to be much harder...)
