RE: [newbie] Firewall logs getting too big
Hey Harm, As it is an old machine I hope you have a backup. It could be your disk is also on the way out if it is making such a racket. Although I admit I also have polling every 3 seconds from edonkey 4662 port. It is a real bind.

My poblem is how to get rid of all these log entries. Reading the logs isn't the real problem 'cause filtering out port 520 using grep -v works quit well. When the (400Mb) HD gets to 100% full everything gets quiet but then I don't get anymore logs. Like I said all this logging activity makes a lot of noise as well. My firewall is an old P133 with smoothwall on it. AL the fans have been removed leaving only the HD that physically moves/makes noise and I've even packed that in isolation foam. Especially early mornings, when I feel lucky if I find the coffee machine without falling down the cellar-stairs first, I tend to get nerved by the clicketyclicking. Frankly, those are the realy serious mornings 'cause we don't even have a cellar here being below sea-level:o( I would like to block these scans from my ISP but like I said I'm not sure what the consequences might be. These boxes are up 24/24 and I'm away quite often i.e. don't have physical acces so I have to be 100% sure of what I'm doing. Not logging these scans was a sort of compromise (with maybe a slight risk) from my point of view but I don't know how to do that.

RE: [newbie] Logitech QuickCam 4000...
Just installed it this afternoon with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. If you installed the soft first it works fine.

Right now I am trying to get it to work correctly with XP first. I can get it to work for a short period of time(several seconds to a couple of minutes) and then it freezes the software, driver, etc. I plan to use it with Mandrake soon, however I would like to iron out my XP issues before doing so. Has anybody been through this same scenario? Does it sound like a USB problem? When I unplug it and plug it back in it doesn't consistently recognize the USB device as the QuickCam. Any help would be much appreciated! -- Thank you, Vincent A. Primavera Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [newbie] Newbie with Dual Window
