[newbie] Seem to have some problems
I tried to setup telnet before and it seems that there is a bug in the fix for telnet client and server update, if you download all the updates for mandrake, either that I' going crazy?! See before I downloaded all the updates and one of the things on the list was telnet. After a while I had to re-install mandrake (cause of so major problems installing) after I did this telnet magicaly worked again! So when I installed the updates again I didn't install telnet anyways that's not my problem first: Anyone know where to get a program that can keep a static connection alive? Other that what I doing now ping nameserver -i 15 this is the command that I typing now to keep my cable modem from going in some sort of standby mode, it the new Terayon modem which I heard really suck in the first place Second is my sound card. I have a AWE32 PnP ISA card that just simply will not work with my nic.. have compiled a new kernel to support both of them but as soon as I put my Sound card in the box and boot up again, neither the nic or the sound card work tried to setup the sound card in setup, but still the damn thing will not work, and having no sound on my system is like having no ears! Last but not least, netscrape seem to have very very small fonts, tried to set my own but, some sites that I goto, I can't even read anything on the screen, even at two inches from the monitor! Go firgure! Other than that LINUX IS AWSOME!!! Igloos, Etien

Re: [newbie] in.telnetd

[newbie] Still have problems...
It seems that My NIC Card and Sound card conflict wit each other, If I run the system, without my sound card the system boots up o.k. and the Network works!!! I can surf and all that, but as soon as I put the sound card into the system, the NIC say fail to get IRQ line and then the eth0 service fails... I setup the the sound card in the kernel and using setup but to no avil worst yet, the system does detect the sound card, but says I have to configure manually, I found the right combo of setting to get it working, but the first sound test I get nothing(Linus introducing himself!!) then I can hear the second testing I suppose thats the MIDI testing... I'm at a lost, no ears, help Sound card config is: Sound Blaster AWE 32 I/O: 240 IRQ: 5 DMA1: 3 DMA2: 7 MI/O: 330 NIC card is a NE2000 clone, using ne support in the kernel (only way to get it to work) IRQ: 10 Also How do you find out what DMA channel the NIC card is using? And how do you turn of the isapnp at boot, if I can't get it to work? I also have a second NIC that came with my Cable Modem, uses the tulip driver, but the link light on the card turns off when linux boots, Do any of you think I should use that one with my sound card? If so how do I get that one to work? HELP,SOS, Heating up in Igloo land! Thanks, Etien [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] memory problems
I thought you just had to tell linux how much memory you have buy typing a simple command at to console?

Re: [newbie] New Millenium
Yes that is true, but it has been said that somewhere along the lines we all lost a year, so is it the year 2000 or the year 2001?? who knows, all that I know is that the media hype about the Y2K bug, looks like it turn out to be a big money making scam... Anybody else agree? Example: three days ago a friend of mine heard on the radio that some fool went and purchased and re-wired his whole house, to on run generators for the Y2K blitz!!

Absouly no called about there computer crashing! We also have a Cisco Router that the Company could not grantee that would pass that Y2K test, after 12:00am last night we were still surfing the net, with no problems.. BTW, that windows 3.11 machine aslo have a BIOS dating well before 1996. I don't what to believe, but I'm starting to have this feeling that we have all gotten the Y2K flew
[newbie] FTP and Telnet
Hi, all Sorry about that last message, but I just had to get it out, plus I hadn't gotten to the message to drop the tread about Millennuim. I was just trying to wish everyone a happy new year and say that there were no problems up here in canada. Now for my problem. I any one cares. I'm running Mandrake 6.0 that I got from a CD in a mag (MaxiumLinux) first problem is that I cannot upgrade to 6.1 that I found on ftp.linuxberg.com (tucows) when goto upgrade and then tell the program where to find the installation on my HDD, it finds it, but a short while later, it tells me that it cannot find the RPM database, ask me to retry, I do then it quits with an error and sends the kill signal. tried serval times.. I thought maybe I have to make a boot disk for 6.1 and that my 6.0 disk simply won't do but, when I try to make one using dd boot.img /dev/fd0 it copies all the files but one, my guess is it the boot kernel. But right now that's the least of my problems, Couple of nights ago I started trying to setup FTP and Telnet, so that I could work on my server at work (telnet) on my down time. I'm on rogers@home (cable modem service) and I keep running into the same problem. I'm using static IP these are the commands I'm typing at the console telnet 24.114.160.210 trying 24.114.160.210 connected to 24.114.160.210 Connection closed by forgein host. same thing happens when I try to connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1 the Hash mark is not in the inetd.conf file beside telnet service. I've played around with the hosts.allow and host.deny by adding: (host.allow) ftp: 127.0.0.1 telnet: 127.0.0.1 host.deny nothing added but it doesn't seem to be working... as for FTP I get connected but I tryed to login and get no where too even as anonymous. says login failed, also tried localhost my Inet service is running few nights ago I ran kBeroFTPD just fine, but after installing (not realizing that it was on the CD) I tried to install Qt from the internet. followed instructions and ran into errors now I can't ever get kBero working again, typed it at the console and got a KCharset: Wrong charset! Tried to reinstall BeroFTP and kBeroFTPD but BeroFTP doesn't want to remove itself from the computer (says BeroFTPD contains multiple packages) and kBeroFTPD still wont run even tried remove Qt and reinstalling it from the CD (no prob) Help SOS sorry but that I typed too much, but I just wanted to make sure that I get an answer that I haven't already tried, besides reinstalling mandrake, which I know I don't have to do, but thinking about it, and definally dreading cause I have to recomplie my kernel to see my NIC. When this is all done, we can work on my sound card.. heheh ;-) Thanks in advanced Etien
[newbie] STOP IT INSANITY!!!!
