[newbie] Firewall apps
Russ, quick question, do you have an old 486 laying around.. if so you should try IPCOP..its quick and easy. and when your secure in your knowledge about IPTABLES.. you can go and setup your linux box as a firewall.. I have a SOHO setup in my private (home school) here in japan 12 boxes, multi platformed everything from M$98 to MDK9.1 and I've had no problems since I started IPCOP. please note that ipcop needs its own box.. its 100% firewall.. and you can access it from any station. just an idea from a newbie to a newbie!! -- Gavin Rollins C/O GES Japan Sent 2u on a M$ free system!

Re: [newbie] Re: Installing & running Programs/Scripts/Code
Graham, I had the same problem.. but via this group, I learned to download these files into my tmp file first, open them with Ark, transfer ALL the files to /usr/local or /usr/local/bin... not sure which one. (I'm sure someone will correct me!!) after you transfered the files they should make their own folder. goto that folder look for the "readme"doc and follow the directions. What other type of programs have you downloaded?? RPM'S?? if so I find them to be much easier.. but its best to learn both ways. Graham, its a long learning process but the fruit is so sweet once you get it! if you happen to see a post from "lanman" ask him your question.. he has and still is helping me with my system and I have a mini lab setup in my home... hope this helped a bit.. holla back soon.

Thats the only way it will accept connections on port 25. Also are you trying to use your box as the relay or another mail server. If you are trying to use your box you may need to allow the other domain to relay. Again these are only things I would be able to tell if you give some more info.

Re: [newbie] Flamebait
This is funny. No I totally like this guy... we need people like this to clean toilets, and sweep the streets. You see in society you can't have all intellectual giants like the *nix community. You need the windows morons to give us jobs supporting people. I thought unix was totally uselss when I first used it as well. Its nothing like it is now. I used slackware 1.0... I had more probles then you could imagine.

Re: [newbie] PIII performance
I would get the PIII 450. You can actually get the cpu for around $250. The temperatures in the PIII is much better then the PII's .

Thanks to all who have helped so for with my Voodoo3 questions. -- Well I will address your modem speed issue since I hear some of our users complain about this quite a bit. Modems initially connect at the best speed. however windows is not always true with it. Sometimes it connects at a speed a little too high. Your modem will retrain itself to get to its maximal speed whether it be slowing down or speeding up. I would do a file transfer to see if the transfer speed is the same. If not try playing around with init strings. You'd be amazed at how many people connect at 49k and then we look at there actual speed on the terminal server and its like 40k. this used to be a big flaw in the old x2. I think v.90 is the worst thing since windows. Anyone who doesnt connect at the impossible 56,000 thinks that there isp is messed up little do they know that their is many factors that play roles in your connect speed.
