Using the router MAC allows for more flexibility on the LAN side without bothering Telewest. Thanks again for all the advice. It is nice that you didn't need to clone the MAC address. But I feel I should clear something up. Cloning the MAC address has no affect on the local lan. What it does is change the WAN interface MAC address to match the computer doing the configuration. (Or the MAC address you specify on some routers.) What this does is make the router look like it is the same network card that used to be connected to the modem before you installed the router.

I'll try and talk you throuh the process. I'm working nights and come off my shift Friday morning before I can help you out. Thanks for the response Kevin. I don't have a clue how to register the router with BlueYonder - that is why I hoped it would be automatic. From what Mikkel and the user manual says cloning the MAC address would get past that hurdle. My setup would be: desktop --- router --- cablemodem | | wireless | laptop Don't know about gaim - have never talked online. That's a whole new kettle of fish. When I first connected to broadband using DHCP, BlueYonder would change my hostname every few days, which meant my having to edit the /etc/hosts file by hand (names like dhcp285), but some time ago this changed and the hostname has remained fixed at x1-6-00-05-5d-47-9a-4a ever since. This is the ifcfg-eth0 file: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no NEEDHOSTNAME=yes and /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost x1-6-00-05-5d-47-9a-4a The router I shall be using is the Belkin Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router with 802.11b Wi-Fi access.

Normally the etc host are for your local machine on the network. Eg I have for machines 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.5.70darkstar.linux.localdomain 192.168.5.80 dell.linux.localdomain 192.168.5.90 tornado.linux.localdomain 192.168.5.50 test.linux.localdomain Above all my machines can resolve the names with their ip address. Len do you mean the host name of your machine? You can actually set this yourself so it becomes permanment. Before I go any further lets get one thing working at a time before we move onto the next, otherwise I think you might get confused very quickly;) Yes - in the past I have tried the hostname command and run into trouble. For instance, if set to stargate it would be overwritten by BlueYonder as soon as I connected. If there was no localhost in the hosts file then applications like emacs took ages to come up, presumably timing out on an attempt to access the machine over the internet. But I think you are talking about setting the name in a sysconfig network file - there is something about that in the networking HOWTO I think. I did not realize that there was a choice if you ran dhcp. I thought that the d meant you were stuck with a dynamic IP. I'll take a look at the router man online, I think the default login page to configure it http://192.168.0.1 this will tell you in the manual. Yes, the manual gives 198.168.2.1 in my case.

I've been looking into these products: Access Point: 3Com Access point 7250 Client adapter: 3Com 11a/b/g PCI Adapter I haven't tried any wireless device before. So, could you pls help me: 1. Are those devices have linux driver? Because in the specification 3Com only mention Windows driver. 2. How do I setup Linux to connect the 2 network? Any experience?

That may require a bit of research on your behalf. However D-link do a range of products that might fit your requirements. I'm using a dwl2100AP and a dwl900AP+, I can't decide whether to use the 900AP+ in bridge mode or repeater mode.

I've linked ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.la /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la at this point would I need to re-run ./configure, make, make install? Any advice appreciated Regards Kevin I just recently built boson 0.10 under 10.0 Official. Runs like a dog because I don't have a video driver with h/w acceleration support, but that's a separate issue. I ran into several version issues with autoconf and the related gnu build system programs. Mandrake installs by default ancient versions of these (2.13 of autoconf; 2.59 is the latest stable), apparently for backward compatibility with older programs. They seem to have forgotten about forward compatibility :^). If you install the latest, it actually installs a script that tries to choose the correct version, so I don't know why the don't do this in the first place. You also have to upgrade automake and aclocal. I don't remember exactly the errors I got. There was something explicit about having to upgrade autoconf, I think, but after that, and before I realized I had to separately upgrade automake and aclocal, I got a lot of weird messages. If you haven't upgraded all these, do it and see if it helps. Mine built successfully after all upgrades. Also, the various build steps weren't entirely clear to me from the web page. As I worked it out, I put them all into a script (I think for example that all the make installs have to be done after all the makes have been done). I've attached it here. Feel free to use this as you see fit. Hope this helps. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

DBW You need to get the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website and run the installer. When you do it will tell you if it has an interface ready and available for the kernel. If it doesn't, then it will tell you that as well, and at that point it will ask you about recompiling. Run thru the questions and you should have some new Nvidia drivers installed. After that you naturally need to follow the directions listed in /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.22.26mdk-5328 Or whatever other /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_* directory was created. These directions will tell you what you need to do to the XF86Config-4 file. If you get it working ok a report back telling about success would be nice. LX Nothing ever works that easy for me. Downloaded the 5336 run pkg. Run it and get errors said that I needed to recompile Made sure I had the Kernal sources loaded and tried the installer and then I get an error from the installer that it can't determine the NVIDIA Kernal level. Now I am running 2.6.3-7 and the NVIDIA files are for 2.4 I expected to recompile for the 2.6 but it don't seem to get very far. Where do I go from here?

Hi again if the file you downloaded is lib.rpm then the lib-development will certainly contain the associated dependancies your are looking for.
