Re: Sig file, was Re: [newbie] Me, Linux, or my !@#$%^ ISP
Honestly, I only know enough about pine, that I hate it! lol So I wouldn't know what needs to go in a ~/.pinerc, but hey. If it doesn't work, you can just take it out of there! There are other ways of doing it, and I've known some people to write a script that does all the work for them, but I went with the simple way of doing it. (Mainly because I wasn't into writing scripts when I set that, so I wouldn't have known how to do it any way! :0) Let us know if that does indeed work. tdh -- T.

You can off course get rid of some of the information, or change how
it's presented, or even just print out the uptime by cutting out what
you want with a command like:
[timh@eric timh]$ uptime | awk '{print $2,$3,$4}'
up 4 days,
That's not my home workstations, which has a much better uptime to look
at, but I've not going through and created a script to pull that
information. But:
[timh@r2d2 timh]$ uptime
11:09pm up 58 days, 2:41, 23 users, load average: 0.06, 0.06, 0.08
Would like a lot better at the end of a signature! ;0)

Re: [newbie] Me, Linux, or my !@#$%^ ISP
I got to the list too late! (See what happens when you actually work for an hour! :0) I've had this happen to be before with other settings. Where I'd try and change the settings with a GUI, and instead of overwritting the settings, it just kept adding to them! In a lot of cases, what happens, is it will actually try the first server, then the second, then the third, and so on. But the page times out before it finds the correct DNS. In your case, I think it's KPPP that's adding all these additions to your /etc/resolv.conf. One suggestion I'd keep, is find another set of DNS servers, and keep them handy. Just to test with. I used to work at an ISP, and I use those from time to time just to test. NIC.ic.net internet address = 152.160.1.1 IUNET.ic.netinternet address = 152.160.1.3 NOC.ic.net internet address = 207.40.105.33 I use those from time to time, for testing purposes and to make sure I have access to certain parts of the outside world. But after a while you're start to recognize things, of Hey, that means there's something wrong with and you'll start coming up with answers like these. It's more about trial and error then it is experience! :0) tdh -- T. Holmes - UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Real Men Use Vi!

Actually /etc/resolv.conf is a fairly simple file. If edited properly, you need not even add the dns#'s to kppp. Once on line, in the absence of other info, the domain and dns lines in resolv.conf take it from there. Glad it worked out for you!!

Re: [newbie] Me, Linux, or my !@#$%^ ISP
On Wed, 19 Sep 2001 16:38:47 +0100 ai4a [EMAIL PROTECTED] insightfully noted: I am running LM 7.2 with netscape (the one that comes with LM 7.2). I have been running this version for about 10 months. For the last 2 months I have been having trouble connecting to internet sites. Before the trouble started, everything worked AOK for about 8 months! I can connect to my ISP OK. I just cannot connect to internet sites. Some sites I can connect to some I cannot. The problem started out where I could not connect to internet sites using windows or linux. Now the ISP has gotten Windows working ok, but linux still will not work. Sometimes I cannot access any internet sites, and sometimes I can access some sites but not most sites. At the moment I can access the following: http://dailynews.yahoo.com www.google.com I cannot access: www.nytimes.com www.cnnfn.com http://investing.schwab.com www.schwab.com My ISP tells me the problem must be mine (because I use linux, which they cannot even spell). They say I am the only one having problems. I am probably the only linux user they have (it is a small world where I live). Here's a guess. Because you had the problem originally with both OS, I think your ISP may have changed the DNS. Ask them to give you two dns#'s and compare them to what you have in /etc/resolv.conf If they're different, edit /etc/resolv.conf to reflect the one's your ISP provided you with. You MUST do this either su or logged in as root. HTH, Mike -- Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. --Benjamin Franklin _ Do You Yahoo!?
