[SLUG] Serial Laplink
Hey Folks! I got me a little problem! See what you make of it. I'm trying to set up a serial cable connection between a PC and a laptop both running Mandrake 8.2. I've followed all the advice in the Serial-Laplink Howto, and everything seems ok. I can create a connection between the two boxes. Trouble is, once I try to copy information between them, one or both of them usually lock up. Anybody got any ideas? -Chris -- Chris Collins e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: http://www.skynet.ie/~whiz m: +61 422 677630 gpg key available from http://www.skynet.ie/~whiz/gpgkeys/skynet.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Use lsusb from a sommand line, or the usbview tool to get the ID for your drive and compare. If not, searching the working devices list for that ID should hopefully dig up what you're looking for. If that is it, then according to that page the device works well after editing a source file and compiling a new kernel. So why can't I find it under /dev ? Shouldn't it appear as sda, or sdb or some such? (I don't have any actual scsi devices on this system, but there is another emulated one, IDE cd burner) The device it is allocated appears in the log messages when the drive is recognised. Libranet is Debian-based, from memory, so plug the drive in and look in /var/log/syslog to see what your kernel thinks of it. Hmm... I also looked at Preferences-information-block devices. It doesn't appear there... So I'm stumped now. And rather frustrated, I must admit. The working devices list at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/index.php is invaluable. So is the Linux USB Guide at http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/book1.html , and the rest of www.linux-usb.org in general.

... and now that I knew what the problem was, I suddenly had a hunch: I took that drive and hooked it up to my experimental system, running a very recent version of Knoppix - and bingo! Knoppix took it in its stride and the drive appeared on /dev/sda with no complaining, no errors and no work on my part. Knoppix rocks, and that's the truth.

We're looking for someone (preferably a wholesaler) who can supply PCI-based 4-port hub network cards - not the type that allow bandwidth addition, but just a simple, cheap, on-board hub. Does anyone know who can supply them?

Remember, also, that the tables are typically only a smallish part of a full Access DB, and I doubt most of the rest of it will be easily convertable by anything. Of course, if you do find something, please let me know - I'm currently rewriting the Access DB from hell in something sensible... -- --- #include disclaimer.h Matthew Palmer, Geek In Residence http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] dhcpd WinXP
Does anyone know if there is an issue with running a Linux based dhcpd server (specifically the one with RH8.0) when trying to serve IP addresses to XP Pro boxen. I can see the XP clients requesting DHCPDISCOVER and I can see the dhcpd server responding with an IP and other data DHCPOFFER, but the XP then fails to get the message and nothing happened, iow, there is no DHCPREQUEST and subsequent DHCPACK. The XP boxen work fine to a NT DHCP server, so I guess the problem is with the Linux based dhcpd server. I can see nothing in the archives that specifically addresses this combination so is there any other info out there? -- Howard.

Re: [SLUG] IPTABLES/RH8
I guess it helps when I look at the info I am posting about...the HOWTO is actually the IP-MASQ HOWTO, which does talk about iptables, and although it is called the IP-MASQ howto, it is very easy to work out from the info how to turn of MASQ if you don't need it.
