It kept wanting to port out thought the nic to get to the internet. i would like to reinstall it and start a home network but could not get around this problem. Can anyone tell me how i can configure it to support both connections? I'm running LM 8.1 Thanks, roy Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Fw: [newbie] Mandrake-Linux 8.1 installation problem
mine is crw -rw ---psux - Original Message - From: Stephen Liu [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 2:44 PM Subject: [newbie] Mandrake-Linux 8.1 installation problem Hi All People, I tried nearly 2 weeks but still could not solve the installation problem of Mandrake-Linux 8.1. Detail as follows : Configuration of the PC for Linux box CPU AMD K2 350 Hard Disk3.6G ATA-33 RAM 128 MB ISO Images were download to a Windows ME box with Anti-Virus and all protection programs closed. Burning software : Tried both Easy CD Creator 4.0 and 5.0 respectively Burning speed : Tried 2X, 4X and 8X respectively md5sum : matched (Remark : I have Mandrake-Linux 7.2 version also downloadrd the same Windows ME box and burnt with Easy Cd Creator 4.0 at 4X. The CDs thus burnt can be installed in the abovementioned Linux Box, running great without problem) Installation went through without problem but the PS/2 mouse died after re-booting. It was alive at time of installation. KDE could be started after re-booting and worked normally. The mouse was found in HardDrake under the list. It is a A4 3-button wheel PS/2 mouse. But during installation I was not allowed to select another mouse, otherwise the PC would re-start automatically. During logout (Re-boot/Halt) the PC hanged with following warning ; /dev/pasux : no such device or address Mainloop returned consoleInit : nor such device or address INIT : no more process left in the runlevel Then the PC hanged. On terminal window Type ls -l /dev/misc It prompted .. total 0 crw - - - - - - rootamp_bios crw - r - - - - rootrootpsux crw - r - - - - rootrootrtc Any guy on the list has encountered the aforesaid problem previously please advise.

Fw: [newbie] Named and internet connection sharing question

I am downloading and going to install RedHat to see if it changes. My WinXP box hasn't crashed once since I set it up two weeks ago, the mandrake box has had 3 fresh installs and a dozen total freezes to the point I had to power down to get out of it. lol can't have that, I know linux is better than that. Must just be something with my 8.1 cds or with 8.1 in general. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Fw: [newbie] How do I stop NFS
check dmesg or cat /var/log/messages - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 12:37 AM Subject: [newbie] How do I stop NFS Hello, my system is running with a IP CHAINS Firewall. I have the follwoing problem on text consoles (not under X). My screen is filled with the following messages: RPC: sendmsg returned error 1 nfs: server pid408@penelope1:/net not responding, still trying I assume this has to do with my Firewall, blocking some NFS requests. BUT, I don't want NFS to run at all. I disabled nfs and related services through linuxconf. To be more precise I disabled the following services: autofs lpd netfs nfs nfslock postfix smb But I still get this messages: Here is my fstab file: /dev/hda6 /mnt/DOS_hda6 vfat user,exec,conv=auto 0 0 /dev/hdc5 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdc6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 I just don't know what to do more to kill this nfs stuff.

'xhost +' is a very dangerous command to run, since it enables access from all PCs with any IP (unless of course, these systems are behind a firewall, in which case you can block access from outside the firewall). A much better (and incidentally more secure) way to deal with this is to do 'xhost + 111.111.111.111' and add each ip / host individually.
