Re: [vox-tech] Need some help choosing a linux flavor for an old laptop
What was it about Fedora and Ubuntu that was 'slow,' compared to Vector? e.g., what were they doing different? Or could you tell? The only reason why they're slow was the choice of window manager as a default. If you remove GNOME or KDE, it should be fine, and it'll free up those precious megs on that old hard drive. I was just impressed with Vector Linux's minimalism and good default options without leaving you with just a command prompt. Many modern distros seem to give you all or none, or endure countless options to install; Vector was a happy medium between the extremes without having to waste an entire afternoon in menus. ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
Re: [vox-tech] Need some help choosing a linux flavor for an old laptop
My roommate had a similar situation, and we found that Fedora and Ubuntu are paintfully slow. The solution we came up with was Vector Linux, which is targeted towards older hardware. I'm quite impressed with the performance on his machine (a Dell Latitude CPi w/128MB RAM). Vector Linux also uses xfce, so perhaps the other options will work. ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
[vox-tech] Re: Need to bypass Squid proxy
How is this transparent proxy hooked up? Does it also do the routing, or does another box do this? Somewhere in your traffic flow it must be redirected to the transparent proxy (unless you're doing transparent bridging proxying, but you should be able to remedy that in a similar fashion). If it's a Linux router, create an iptables rule that will not redirect the packets to the transparent proxy if it's coming from and going to your internal network. If it's not Linux, there still should be a way to accomplish the same goal, but I'm not sure if this list would be useful in that case. --Seth On 1/26/06, Micah J.

Interestingly enough, I went to an ISSA meeting which included a vendor that intended to do EXACTLY that. The line of thought went something like, "Well, we're the good guys, so it's not really a MITM attack." I'll see if I can find the info I have on them next time I'm in the office.

I'm pretty sure you can do that; if you don't want to use the proxy on your intranet server, you can usually put it on an exclusion list in your browser. Refer to your browser's settings for that - it's usually in the same spot where you define a proxy. You couldn't do that if you have a transparent proxy, since there are no browser settings to fix. I'd probably fix that with iptables, but the only transparent proxy I had set up is only for outbound, not my intranet. ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
Re: [vox-tech] comcast broadband DNS
Comcast broadband is DHCP. Looking at my router, doing a 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' results in the nameserver.Should work for you too. If you use a commercial SOHO router, it should be listed on a status or configuration page, depending on model. Some models also just forward those DNS entries to your desktop if you use DHCP. --Seth Ryan said: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Monday 05 April 2004 10:41 pm, dylan dylan-at-iici.no-ip.org |lugod| > wrote: >> hi everyone: >> >> here is a question that has bugged me continuously >> >> how does one go about getting the DNS entries for comcast >> braodband...? >> >> any ideas? > > Are they DHCP, PPPoE, etc?

Re: [vox-tech] Carrying telephone signal over ethernet
I don't know about adaptors, but if you can find a rj45 duplex adaptor and an rj45 to rj11, then you can make/modify one. If you can find a combination adaptor box, it's even better. HSC might have something like that, and you can just wire it up as you see fit. For aesthetics, perhaps a project enclosure might work. If you have the cables ready, and you don't mind looking "ghetto", you can always remove the ends off the ethernet cable and splice the unused pair to phone cables. I'm assuming that you want line 1 on the phone, so the red and green are the ring and tip. Provided you have cables, rj45 ends, crimper and soldering tools laying around, it's free. Extra points for using heat shrink instead of electrical tape. :) Come to think of it, you could probably use a surface mount box like this: http://www.9thtee.com/networking.htm If you could find one with 3 keystones, you could make an adaptor easily. A two-port will work, but it won't be removable. If you have the ethernet jacks installed in the walls, then it's even easier. Get a couple of rj11 keystones and hook them up. --Seth (whose rambling probably helped no one today) Jeremy Brown said: > Mark's original idea should work if he's happy with 10BaseT and doesn't > mind some potential extra noise on both the phone and data lines. > > The trick I'd use if I wanted to do this without spending a lot is get > a couple 10BaseT splitters like these > http://www.directron.com/1206510.html > http://www.pagecomputers.com/cgi-bin/page/S0253406.html > http://www.costcentral.com/prod/Belkin/R6G022/117637/ > and rewire a couple phone cords with rj45 plugs on one end.
