Samba Domain_master_browser
This weekend my RH7.1 system was connected to a network, where there was a computer running that was the domain_master_browser (WINS) and his IP is 192.168.0.6 Now, when I'm home again, my samba doesn't work as it used to do !! Normally my samba server is also the WINS server for my internal network at home. But now I cannot connect to the linux box anymore and I cannot resolve the WINS names for my computers because of this. He still tries to connect to the old (192.168.0.6) master browser and therefor gives an error: Cannot sync browser lists In the logs I find that Samba has a problem being the domain master browser on the workgroup: WORKGROUP Here you can see a piece of /var/log/messages Jan 14 09:30:38 ray nmbd[1580]: [2002/01/14 09:30:38, 0] nmbd/nmbd_become_dmb.c:become_domain_master_browser_wins(341) Jan 14 09:30:38 ray nmbd[1580]: become_domain_master_browser_wins: Jan 14 09:30:38 ray nmbd[1580]: Attempting to become domain master browser on workgroup WORKGROUP, subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.

Yes, grub can boot both fine, while installed in the MBR. You are best off installing windows, then linux. I can't help you with resising XP - i just wiped it clean and started over. i'd be interested in hearing just how smoothly the process of setting up that 8100 as a dual boot machine goes. i got an 8100 a few months ago and, yes, it came pre-installed with windows whatever random choice i made, since i had no intention of running windows whatever. the instant i got it, i blasted the windows install and installed red hat, but not before i noticed that, naturally, the pre-installed windows takes up the whole disk, and i suspect it will do the same with yours. this means you can't just add red hat, you have to downsize windows first. and before you think, hey, no problem, i'll just *re-install* windows on a smaller partition, think again. what you will likely get is not a windows install CD, it will be a windows *reinstall* CD -- that is, no original media but a CD that just lets you recover to your original layout. these days, dell (and others, i assume) not shipping original media. they're being totally sleazy and shipping only enough to let you recover if you trash your original install. just for the fun of it, i called dell, pretended to be a real idiot, and asked how, since i installed linux, how do i get back to windows, and feigned outrage as the tech support person tried to tell me that it couldn't be done. eventually, he fessed up and admitted that, yes, that *reinstall* CD could be used to do a fresh install, as long as there was a DOS partition waiting on the disk for it. i'm not at all convinced he knew what he was talking about, and i've never tried it, but if you want to provide some useful info, when you get your 8100, document everything you have to do to get a dual boot system, and let us know. i'm definitely curious. rday p.s. naturally, another option is to downsize the windows partition using something like FIPS or partition magic. in any case, i'd still like to hear how things go. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- Bruce Kall Mayo Foundation Rochester, MN e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: (507) 255-4768 ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

A process running amok and using up all resources. Not actually locking the PC up, just making it crawl so slowly that it appears to be the case.

Well, that's the bugger isn't it. I think you can resort all of that
through th Xconfig program (i think the name is wrong but check the

it with different keyboard/mouse choices.

I do use NAT currently. Having real IP addresses is pointless unless you're offering services, in which case they need to be static and routable, in which case dynamic addresses defeat the purpose. If you have two clients in the house and no gateway, then two available assignments is great for you and easy for them. In your case, you have a dedicated gateway, so why not use NAT on that firewall, and sleep better? - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp - -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/pale_blue_dot.html -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPEM9XL9BpdPKTBGtEQLCzwCfRKgshScSH8B4+oowIhFG3sT/AgUAmgM4 WRW+zXtilE+aTWnN1Js3wStD =aJMr -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list __ Do You Yahoo!?

Samba domain_master_browser
This weekend my RH7.1 system was connected to a network, where there was a computer running that was the domain_master_browser (WINS) and his IP is 192.168.0.6 Now, when I'm home again, my samba doesn't work as it used to do !! Normally my samba server is also the WINS server for my internal network at home. But now I cannot connect to the linux box anymore and I cannot resolve the WINS names for my computers because of this. He still tries to connect to the old (192.168.0.6) master browser and therefor gives an error: Cannot sync browser lists In the logs I find that Samba has a problem being the domain master browser on the workgroup: WORKGROUP Here you can see a piece of /var/log/messages Jan 14 09:30:38 ray nmbd[1580]: [2002/01/14 09:30:38, 0] nmbd/nmbd_become_dmb.c:become_domain_master_browser_wins(341) Jan 14 09:30:38 ray nmbd[1580]: become_domain_master_browser_wins: Jan 14 09:30:38 ray nmbd[1580]: Attempting to become domain master browser on workgroup WORKGROUP, subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.

Re: hardware reconfiguration
You have a couple of choices for reconfiguring things.
I like things to work correctly at the console, too, so when I change
mice I use 'mouseconfig' to setup the mouse. It is a nice
menu-driven, program which will update your X configuration at the end
if you want it to--I always tell it to.
Likewise, there is a program called 'kbdconfig' to setup the keyboard.
AFAIK, it does _not_ update the X configuration.
For X, you have several choices:
Xconfigurator -- My personal favorite. Same interface as
mouseconfig.
xf86config -- Totally text-based. Last resort.
xf86cfg -- X-GUI. Nice, but didn't run well for me.
I hope this helps.

Re: Adjusting playback level.
Try increasing the mixer volume. Use xmixer or aumix (console). On Tue, 15 Jan 2002, David wrote: 1) What are you trying to accomplish? It's as if you forgot to make note of why you're doing any of this to begin with. Well, I wasn't doing any important thing in particular. I was just trying to play some mp3s and having found that the volume is a bit soft, I just wanted to adjust it. 2) -g is gain. Typically you don't touch this. If you play electric guitar or do sound mixing of some sort, you'll know what this is. I do know what gain is. It is simply put: a ratio of output to input.

Speakers or headphones? Are other sounds OK in volume? Have you tried the amplified jack of your sound card or are you using the Line Out? If it has no amplified jack, are there jumpers on the card to convert the Line-Out to amplified? Sorry if this has already been established, I came in late. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Setting up PCMCIA networking
I just got a new/old laptop (Compaq Presario 1267 to be precise) and I am trying to install the Linksys Ethercard PCMCIA card in it to hook up to my network. So far, I seem to get the card to come up, and it shows as powered on the card and on the hub. However, there does not seem to be any sign of an eth connection. In dmesg I get NE2000 coming up as eth0, but I can't seem to locate it anywhere else. How do I get this up and running? Ian.

(ipchains certainly seems so much more flexible). Anybody using both ?

It's a good idea to incorporate this into your backup strategy, as it can
help recover or rebuild your system. My backup script includes:
rpm -qa $WorkDir/rpmlist 21
rpm -qia $WorkDir/rpmdesc 21
