Re: [newbie] networking advice

Another thing to mention about the 192.168.x.x IP addresses is that they
are classed as private (non-routable on the Internet).  Thus you can use
them at home for internal netorks.

Depending on the size of your internal network, you can use any of address
ranges below.

Class A private: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
Class B private: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
Class C private: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

 I agree with John s explanation , however 192.x.x.x to my knowledge is
 a  class C network with a default mask of 24 = 255.255.255.0
 class B ranges from 128.x.x.x/16 till 191.x.x.x/16
 class C ranges from 192.x.x.x/24 till 223.x.x.x/24

 For most home networks the default mask will be OK , and there is no
 need for  further subnetting , it will only make it more complicated .

 Greetings ,

 Bart.

 Thanks for your response!  I guess I should be awake when I start to try
 to figure out a network :(

Make sure you have the prefix 'http://' in front of anything you enter.

 Nope, not a search box, I've been typing it in the address pane.  Typing
 a word in the window that pops up when I press Ctrl+O also takes me to
 http://www.ultimatesearch.com/ .

 Paul Rodriguez [EMAIL PROTECTED] scribbled intuitively:

 Whenever I type a word in the address bar of my galeon browser, I
 expect it to go to [word].com.  Instead I am taken to
 http://www.ultimatesearch.com/ not ultimate or much good at all.
 
 How do I change this?

 Hit Ctrl+O (not zero) and put the address there.  Looks like you're
 entering the address in a search box.
 HTH,

Re: [newbie] postfix problem? or something else?

2002-11-07 Thread Marty Wedepohl 
Try /var/log/syslog for imapd messages

 thanks, derek ...

 it occurs several times a day at seemingly random
 times ...

 i've looked in /var/log/ and i can't figure out where
 imap is writing ... is it messages? or mail? or
 somewhere else?

 also, i don't know how to determine which imap is
 running ... it installed by default with engardelinux
 ..

 thanks for the continued help.

 If you are losing connection to an IMAP client it is
 your IMAP server which
 has the issue not Postfix. Which IMAP server are you
 using?

 Does this happen at the same time every day? If so
 your IMAP server may have a
 cron job, or an entry in /etc/logrotate.d  which is
 'tidying up' every day
 and restarting the server.

  I've just set up a postfix mail server on an
 Engarde

  works ALMOST all the time :-)
 
 
  But periodically (for no reason that I can find),
 the
  mail server seems to shut down, giving the client
 an
  error like IMAP connection to server has been
 broken
  ... it's not a client issue, because when it
 happens,
  ALL users attempting to access mail get a similar
  message, regardless of platform ...
 
 
  Any ideas what's wrong?  I'm wondering if my linux
 box
  itself (with only one NIC being used) might  be
 part
  of the problem ... Would the problem go away if I
 used
  two NICs, one for my connection to the outside
 world,
  and one for connection to my intranet??? (that may
 be
  totally irrelevant, but I'm grasping at straws
 here)
  
 
 
  And course, the answer may lie in the logs ... but
 I'm
  far too much of a newbie to know what I'm looking
 for
  in them...
 
 
  Any and all help would be appreciated.
 
 
  Thanks,
