RE: [newbie] PMFirewall question...
Ya...that's probably not working correctly. I haven't really played with pmfirewall for a ppp connection. The only thing I could tell ya is to go to www.pmfirewall.com and check out their mailing list. I'd either just subscribe to that mailing list...or just browse through the archive. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ronald J.

You may have to manually run /etc/rc.d/init.d/pmfirewall. I've attached a small text file that shows what I got. Can you look at it and tell me what you think? Thanks! ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/

My question is, since I *think* I've got everything installed correctly (the script said it installed OK), should I not be able to see PMFirewall running, using something like ktop or top, after I've connected to the 'Net? I picked the options where PMF does not start up at boot, but upon a successfull ppp connection. Thanks! -- /\ DarkLord \/
[newbie] random dhcpcd drops
I use my linux box as a router (ip-masquerading) for other PC's on my lan. I have two nics, one connected to an external adsl modem and the other one is connected to my switch. I used to have mandrake 7.1 and I didn't experience any problems. When I upgraded to 7.2...I started experiencing connection problems. It seems that my connection to my dsl provider will mysteriously drop for unspecificied amounts of time. Sometimes it will be only a couple minutes, but other times it will be for hours. I can easily fix it by either restarting dhcpcd, or I can just issue and ifdown eth0 command and then follow up with an ifup eth0. What is causing this problem? I remember I used to have the same problem when I used Redhat...and Redhat uses pump instead of dhcpcd. Any help would be appreciated.

You will get all the specs; I printed my whole system. HTH At 04:09 PM 08-11-2000 -0800, you wrote: What if you don't have your specs? Or any way of getting them? I'm using a second hand monitor (probably closer to 5th hand) and I've got none of the info on it... it says "Techmedia" on the front and its 17"... thats about all I know... oh and apparently its model # TCM 1764S according to the back. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm stuck using windows right now. Bill
