RE: [newbie] Google News
It's a DNS record registration problem. They probably registered news.google.ca to point to their IP but forgot to add this record *.news.google.ca , it's a wild card that means that you can type anything including WWW and it will solve to the right IP. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JoeHill Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 8:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Google News On Fri, 9 Jan 2004 05:47:10 + Bill W.

RE: [newbie] unable to ping to/from my windoze box
Hi there, Seems like your machines are not on the same network if I got it right your windows is on the 169.X.X.X network And your Linux is on the 204.X.X.X network If you don't have a ROUTER between them it won't work, Make sure both of the machines are on the same network. In addition your windows IP is assigned automatically to your machine after failing to retrieve one from your DHCP server, if you don't have one you better assign a static IP.

I had an idea to try the basics, and surprise surprise, it's no wonder Samba is having trouble - the two boxes aren't even recognizing each other! I ran ipconfig on the windoze box and it said: autoconfiguration IP address: 169.254.5.217 so from a terminal window on the Mandrake box I typed: ping 169.254.5.217 and got: PING 169.254.5.217 (169.254.5.217) from 203.146.175.77 : 56(84) bytes of data. but then it just sat there and did nothing. So then I pinged 203.146.175.77 from the windoze box and it returned 4 lines of Destination host unreachable. Needless to say, these two boxes talk to each other just fine over the same bit of cable using the same internal LAN cards they both came with when they're both running windoze...

RE: [newbie] PostgreSQL
To access postgresql (assuming everything has been set up correctly).. 1. $su postgres from su. 2. createuser -e --pwprompt user (where user is the name your using) Enter password for user user:* Enter it again: Shall the new user be allowed to create database? (y/n) Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n)n CREATE USER user . Since I don't like using postgres as my standard user this does the ticket for creating a semi Postgresql admin. Also make sure in your in your pg_hba.conf file that you add the following line. host all (ip address optional)(mask optional) ident sameuser If you have configured your postgresql.conf file correctly you can access the db from other computers with pgadmin or another pgsql session. cheers neenja -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Christopher Shaffer Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 5:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] PostgreSQL Forgive my silly question, but I'm trying to experiment with PostgreSQL (all I've used till now is MySQL...) on Mandrake 9.0, but I have know idea what the default username/password is.

[newbie] What am I missing?
I'm getting a little frustrated here. I don't remember going through so much trouble with RedHat as I am now with LM 7.2. To be specific, I can't connect to LOCALHOST, and Apache. Tried to connect to WEBMIN by entering http://localhost:1 and all I get is unable to connect to localhost error message. IPCHAINS default policy right now is ACCEPT. HOST.DENY is not denying anybody,I commented out the entry added by LM. My HOSTS file has 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost andxx.xxx.xx.xx mymachine.mydomain.com mymachine I can ping localhost and mymachine.mydomain.com from a terminal and from a DOZE machine. So, what am I missing??? Oh, and yeah, I can't recieved mail too. Tech R

[newbie] question about mandrake probs..
For months ive ran redhat 6 with no probs, but when i installed mandrake 7.2 it seems to take forever to boot up and once you get into kde it is slow, this only happens after i reboot as the initial boot works fine.. also it doesnt seem to hold my configuration for my dsl.. any ideas as to why it suddenly slows to a crawl after a simple reboot..
Re: [newbie] Installed SuSE yesterday
Alan, I don't understand your problem with Carol.She actually did post the specs on her monitor at one point--I remember seeing them. She's a newbie to Linux, just like others on this list. There are plenty of obfuscatory descriptions on this list. I've never seen you complain to the rest of the list about it before. It would be nice if you kept things a little less accusatory. Unsubscribing as well, before I bore Alan with fuzzy descriptions of my perpetual modem troubles Kathleen
Re: [newbie] LILO and modem issues
I do have the Boot Magic provided on disk 3 of Mandrake 7. Maybe I will try that first, and then just do an upgrade rather than a full install. Really, what else is it for but to tinker around with. It's not like I have much Stuff Of Importance on either hard drive yet, since the PC is a grand total of about 3 weeks old. Thanks to you all! What a terrific group of folks to have available!

Re: [newbie] OT--BIOS
John wrote: The BIOS is on the mother board itself and is coded on to the BIOS chip. Without it Intel systems don't run since it loads the initial boot up program from the MBR. Win/DOS also has a software "BIOS" as well, one of a pair of hidden system files that DOS (and OS/2, Win9* and NT 3*) requires. The NT versions used to be the MS OS/2 versions. I don't know whether that has changed or not. Disclaimer: i was pretty much joking about the BIOS thing. I actually really like my BIOS (ambios). A friend of mine has a really cruddy BIOS, but the computer is a machine is a Hewlett Packard, so it is a cruddy system in general. I suppose a person would have to buy a whole new motherboard to get a different kind of BIOS. Can a person upgrade using the same motherboard, but maybe a different version or something?
