[newbie] NEC 1100A DVD+R burner

2003-09-03 Thread Russ Rollins
Can anyone give me some basic instructions on how to mount this (once it's 
connected to my firewire card) in Mandrake 9.1, and then how to burn to 
it? I've got a Fat32 drive that I need to backup.

TIA,
-Russ-

Re: [newbie] NEC 1100A DVD+R burner

2003-09-03 Thread Russ Rollins
When I do that I can identify the device
(/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0), but I can't mount it--I get the
error mount: you must specify the filesystem type. There is a blank
DVD+R disc inside. 

Ideas? Suggestions?

 Run kdf - you SHOULD see the device in there - then you can
 right-click it and choose to mount it (that's the easy way)

Re: [newbie] opening port 8080

2003-07-22 Thread Russ Rollins
Apache is only listening on port 80. I'm trying to get Zope up and
running on port 8080. But, whenever I try to hit http://myurl:8080 it
will only work on my server, and none of the other machines. Somehow,
even though this appears to be open in the firewall and Zope is up and
listening, the outside requests are not getting through...driving me up
the wall.

[newbie] opening port 8080

2003-07-21 Thread Russ Rollins
Wondering if anyone could assist me in opening port 8080 to the outside
world. Currently running Manrdake 9.1 in msec 4, I've added 8080 to the
firewall port allowances (through Mandrake CC) and netstat shows
tcp0  0 0.0.0.0:80800.0.0.0:*  
LISTEN

I can't think of anything  else I need to modify in order for this port
to available to the world. I can clearly see port 80 and serve pages
from it, but not with 8080. What am I missing?

TIA,
-Russ-

[newbie] vfat partition permission in msec3

2003-06-26 Thread Russ Rollins
I've got my box running as a webserver and the security level setting to
Higher. Unless I'm root, I can't even read some of my fat mounts that
I'd like to use for sharing. So, after checking out fstab/mtab, I'm at a
loss as to what I need to do. Anyone have some advice? 

TIA,

Anyone had success changing downloading and installing new themes in
GNOME (Metacity themes that is) in Mandrake 9.1? I've spent an hour or
so on it and can't seem to get it to work using the Theme
configurator...

TIA

[newbie] Need help with router setup

2003-06-06 Thread Russ Rollins
I have setup the Mandrake Internet Sharing connection and am
successfully able to utilize the second NIC in my box to share the
internet with my laptop. However, when I plug the cable into my
Wireless Router, and then attempt to get online with my laptop
(wirelessly) I am unable to do so--I, however can successfully see my
Mandrake box (@192.168.1.1) and peruse my webpages there. What can I
do to fix this? I've spent hours trying to get this far (finally
realizing I needed to open the ports in the firewall to allow DHCP).

Much thanks in advance,
-Russ-

RE: [newbie] Need help with router setup

2003-06-06 Thread Russ Rollins
What I meant was the cable coming from eth1, where eth0 has the direct 
connection from the cable modem. In other words, when I plug from eth1 to 
the wireless router, that's when the scenario (I described below) occurs: 
I can hit the linux box, but can't get beyond. If I plug from eth1 
directly to laptop (thereby rendering the wireless router useless), I get 
beyond just the linux box and can surf the web. 

TIA,
-Russ-

 When you say plug the cable into your wireless router are you then
 bypassing
 the main linux computer and going from laptop to router? If so you need
 to
 change the gateway IP on your laptop from the PC to the routers IP
 address
 cause the router has now become the gateway. Can you clarify what you
 are
 trying to do, or does my image above reflect what you are doing? HTH

RE: [newbie] Need help with router setup

2003-06-06 Thread Russ Rollins
Mandrake box has two nics, eth0 and eth1. Eth0 is receiving feed from
cable modem. Eth1 is what I plug into receiving device (laptop or wireless
router). If feed from eth1  goes straight into the laptop, the laptop can
connect to the internet and everything works great. If the wireless router
gets the feed from eth1, and then the laptop connects to the wireless
router, I can only get the Mandrake box--nothing else.

 I am confused, are eth0 and eth1 in the same computer? or one in the laptop
 and one in the PC?
