Hello All,
I have just received my copy of Mandrake 8.2 and a CD rewriter. The CD
rewriter and Mandrake seem to function faultlessly however I am having a
problem with StarOffice 6.
When I attempt to open a Microsoft Word file the following error message is
displayed, and then the application

Hi
Yes, I know what's wrong. Got same error. You must change the
environment variables cvspserver is runing with. I solved it as
follows.

I'm trying to forward port 23 to one of my internal computers. My gateway has
a cable connection on eth1 (dynamic ip) and internal network on eth0 (static

moved the port) on 192.168.1.4 internally but my gateway doesn't
I assume so. More and more packages in the cooker
are now compiled by gcc-3.1. This implies that
LM 8.3 will be based on gcc-3.1 (I assume).
But it makes it difficult upgrade packages from
the cooker, as you need to switch to gcc-3.1 first.

Hi List,
What is the best way to prevent a specific station to have access
to the internet ? or to assign the privilege to selected stations only ?
The internet is made available thru a shared connexion from a LM
8.2 server and all stations must be on the same subnet.

hi,
depends on many things:
if you want the boxes to have "full" internet access (all ports, all
protocolls without restriction), you will have to configure the kernel

Just a note of closure for those who might still wish to help, and thanks to
all those who have.
I only wish I could say that it was something obvious that I found needing to
be fixed.
It's one of those things where I just tried uninstalling and re-installing,
and somewhere along the line, I
pardon the incoherence, I am on lots of drugs to try to quell my back
spasms.
Gary, thanks for the help, I'll definitely use that post when I attempt
to get this working from the laptop side. Right now I'm just trying to
