It is not nothing related with the firewall, as if I deactivate the whole firewall, the problem remains. It seems to be a iptables problem. Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I had a Processor Technology Sol PC, which morphed into a more normal
S100 bus machine that I used until a short while after 19851102, the
"birth date" of my Amiga 1000. I adopted Amigas to my heart - and
still rather like them and their UI innovations. (Liked Amigas so
much I even added a Linux kernel hack for correctly reading Amiga
hard disk partitions. That was easy since I wrote the most commonly
used Amiga hard disk partitioning tool.)

[JDOW>>] Rumor has it that this ancient Roman (and perhaps earlier)
tradition may have made it to Brazil via Portugal. A lot of other
things may have, too. But that's only rumor. I didn't see if with my
own eyes. (I'm ancient, but not THAT ancient.)

Thank you. > > Sincerely, > > Edward E. Rochon > [EMAIL PROTECTED] DrWeb is a commercial application to search for Windows viruses on a Linux mailserver. Mandrake Soft include an RPM package for Drweb on the Commercial CD of the Mandrake Powerpack boxed set. If you have a Powerpack you will find the rpm package on disc 4. Just click on the rpm package with konqueror and it will install. Also on the CDs are drweb mail filter packages for the various mail servers, Sendmail,Postfix, Courier etc. You should install the appropriate mail filter package for the mail server you are running. If you do not have a Powerpack then the drweb packages can be downloaded from MandrakeClub if you are a member or directly from the DrWeb download site at http://download.drweb.com/unix/Mandrake+Linux+10/ clicking on the rpm packages with konqueror will install them. However you get the packages drweb will not work until you have purchased a key from them. As for your other questions. Mandrake Expert allows you to ask 'paid for' questions, or 'no charge' community questions where you may (or may not) get an answer from any member of the Mandrake Community. In any case you are not likely to get an answer from Mandrake Expert about DrWeb since it is not a Mandrake product and not part of the official distro. MandrakeOnline is an entirely separate service to provide you with warning of available security updates. Once you have Dr Web installed I doubt if you will see an icon or menu entry because it is a 'daemon' that runs in background in conjunction with a mail server. I expect if you open MandrakeControlCentre>System>Services you would see a button to start the DrWeb service. I assume you know that there are effectively no Linux viruses, so the only point of using a virus scanner on Linux is to protect Windows users who fetch their mail from a Linux mailserver. There are other virus scanners available for Linux mailservers such as ClamAV which are open source and totally free. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

No - the 700Mb is more then big enough to burn a 699.8 MB image. The 700MB (80 minute) CDs hold 700Mb of data, plue the lead in and lead out data. Now, how are you trying to burn the CD under k3b? If you are trying to burn an ISO omage that you have downloaded, you need to pick tools, CD, Burn CD image. Now, I have heard that you can also run into problems burning CDs with k3b as a user if you haven't gone through the configuration first - you have to set some parmissions and it will ask you for the root password to do it...

RE: [newbie] back to Windows
... very entertaining, I was taken in totally, because as a month old newbie I went through that phase ... bought some Mandrake 10.1 disks ($6), they worked OK at first, but then degraded ... ended up with: (1) .. an old Mandrake Red Hat 6.0 that works on my desktop .. (2) .. a SUSE 9.2 working in VMWare on my laptop ... ended up downloading the 3.3gig .iso file, turns out VMWare can read the .iso file right off my hard drive, don't have to fool with burning CD's etc .. (3) ... the struggle getting from command mode to KDE in (1) above really taught me the Linux (UNIX) fundamentals, plus reading your wonderful mailing list each day ...

Re: [newbie] SMC Barricade

I recently bought a Linksys Wireless card and it's working quite well, but of course, there's one little problem. The card is unable to receive packets from the SMC router.

I am able to get an IP address for the Linksys card from the router (Model # SMC7004AWBR), and KNemo shows that the card is sending packets to the router and that there's a connection at the proper speed, but the card is not receiving from the router. Just to simplify this, the problem doesn't seem related to Linux or Windows, since I'm getting the same problem in either OS. Meanwhile, my wired connection from the same system works fine. Wireless networking was working fine on the router the last time it was in use, even though an occasional reboot of the router was required. I've tried it before and after updating the firmware, and I've reset the router to default settings about 35 times, and still 'No Joy'! Even using the default settings, my wired connection is fine and the wireless card is getting an IP address from the router. But the wireless card can't successfully ping the router.

This card is brand new. It might be defective and I'm going to check into that, but I'm going to try connecting to another wireless router before I look at that as a possibility.

PLF supply Mandrake packages to deal with this situation. So - 1) Go to easyurpmi.zarb.org and follow the instructions there to make sure you have a plf source - while you are there it would pay you to grab one source from each of the sections listed. A long chain of commands will be given to you to paste into a root console. It does take a while for that to complete, so be patient until it has finished. Using urpmi from the command line or Software Installer as a gui will now give you a whole raft of possibilities you didn't have before. 2) If you have xine installed, uninstall it. 3) Get the xine packages from the plf site - if you use Software Installer make sure you have enabled Maximum Information. You also need decss and any codecs you can find, to give you maximum flexibility. Install them in the usual way and you should be fine.

Simply install them and insert the movie DVD. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Mandrake 10.1 Microsoft Free Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] SMC Barricade
Well, here's another weird one for the list. I recently bought a Linksys Wireless card and it's working quite well, but of course, there's one little problem. The card is unable to receive packets from the SMC router. I've tried it with and without DHCP, and with or without WEP. The SMC Barricade is an 11Mbps, 3-Port router with a print-server (not in use for now). I am able to get an IP address for the Linksys card from the router (Model # SMC7004AWBR), and KNemo shows that the card is sending packets to the router and that there's a connection at the proper speed, but the card is not receiving from the router. Just to simplify this, the problem doesn't seem related to Linux or Windows, since I'm getting the same problem in either OS. Meanwhile, my wired connection from the same system works fine. Wireless networking was working fine on the router the last time it was in use, even though an occasional reboot of the router was required. I've tried it before and after updating the firmware, and I've reset the router to default settings about 35 times, and still 'No Joy'! Even using the default settings, my wired connection is fine and the wireless card is getting an IP address from the router. But the wireless card can't successfully ping the router. If anyone has had any previous experience with this unit, I'd appreciate any suggestions they might have. I have yet to take my laptop out to another wireless zone to see if it connects and that's probably next on my list of things to try, but hopefully, there's something I'm missing. Personally, I suspect that the problem is due to the RTS/CTS & Fragmentation settings, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change them in the router and I can't find the spec's for them on Google or at SMC.

Re: [newbie] USB Cable modem
Thank you, Have amended modprobe.conf and it has been ok for last couple of days. Cheers Tim I have to set up a new modem connection every time i reboot, it just seems to forget that i set one up, but if i go into "Manage connections" its there but i can't do anything with it. Does your /etc/modprobe.conf file contain the text alias eth0 usbnet ? If not put it in. If it is already there try putting the text usbnet in the file /etc/modprobe.preload If still no luck open a terminal and enter 'dmesg' and look for the boot messages concerning your usb network interface and tell us what they are. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
