[newbie] mdk going crazy
First (issue posted sometime ago) was the segfault messages with wine... no big problem. But now both gnome and kde waits 5 minutes to start up and my shell is no longer colorful (it's only black and white, maybe the shell type was changed someway). The only thing i did after a fresh mdk 9.1 instalation was to install nvidia drivers and wine, but there were some unpropper shutdowns due to energy problems. I don't think this is an hardware issue because windowze is working just fine. suggestions? cheers _ MSN Hotmail, o maior webmail do Brasil. http://www.hotmail.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] wine problems
I'm trying to install kazaa using wine on my mdk9.1 but I receive a file_set_error: No such file or directory fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosError no mapping for 0001869f during the kazaa's setup process. I googled and figured out that these mdk rpms are broken. So, I downloaded other rpms but I receive a Segmentation Fault when starting wine (I tried more than one rpm).

[newbie] postfix problems
I've two mail servers on my network: a w2kserver and a linux one. The w2k box is the PDC which is connected to the internet and the mail server is working fine. But, when I try to send any e-mail to the linux box (postfix) I can't read them. I mean, I don't know where they went to. There's nothing in the spool folders, but the w2kserver says that the message was delivered. By the way, if someone has any good documentation about postfix I would like to know the url.

[newbie] trying to post with postfix
I've installed postfix and following some howtos and it's documentation to set it up. Well, it's running and I can connect to it via telnet and send e-mails to my other mailbox. The problem is that I can't send e-mails to the postfix server. I've tried to send e-mails to user@host, [EMAIL PROTECTED], user@domain but the mail server that i'm using to send those e-mails to postfix returns all of them with a Message delivery delay message. So, i tryed to sent to user@[ipnumber] and nothing have returned, but i've checked the folders where should be mail and there's nothing.

I'm currently using two machines: one with apache and the other with windows, because I still like the photoshop, dreamweaver and other web design tools.

Thanks for the answer! I don't know what i've done but my apache server now only display 'Access Forbidden' messages. Do you, or anyone, knows how to fix this? And, someone has an alternative for dreamweaver? All the linux WYSIWYG html editors i've found aren't good enough for me and i'm still stuck in windowze because of dreamweaver. You don't need to use !--#include file=file-- to do include cgi or shtml, according to the PHP manual, you can use, virtual('filename'); (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.virtual.php for details). To include php files you would use, include('filename'); (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php for details).

Re: [newbie] Advice-Setting up a dedicated server
Thanks for the reply, netmaniac. I would be interested in you opinion as to whether I would be able to successfully be able to access my server from the outside, being that I do not have a static IP from my cable modem service provider and that I do not want to open up my firewall too much. I wouldn't even consider dial-in to the server through the modem. Look at this site for DNS domain forwarders for dynamic IP's. This allows you to have connections to your home system without you needing to get your IP address to connect. Like www.yourdomain.xxx or www.yourdomain.hostDNS.xxx will work for you. you're welcome! i'm using the cjb.net service for almost one year and it seems to work fine. Just go to www.cjb.net and fill the form with your data. Then, select to forward the address you have chosen to your machine's IP. It works very well with dynamic IPs. netmaniac _ MSN Messenger: converse com os seus amigos online. http://messenger.msn.com.br Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
