actually tyme is right ... but for some reason I could never get my .bashrc to load :-| do man xterm and find out what the params is for login shell the terminal I found that doesn't have a login params is konsole

ok so here are some options for you eth0 = lan (192.168.1.1) eth1 = dmz (10.0.0.1) eth2 = wan (202.0.0.202) all ip's are static (he he ... funny :-P ) you put a computer on your dmz, and give it an ip 10.0.0.2 with subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway 10.0.0.1 ... cool? now when you want to forward packets to a server (webserver say) you would do something like this DNAT 202.0.0.202 10.0.0.2 80 - and it will work sweet as !!! or you put a computer on your dmz, and give it an ip 202.0.0.203 with subnet 255.255.255.192 and gateway 10.0.0.1 ... cool? now when you want a to forward packets to a server you would do something like this step 1 .. proxyarp 202.0.0.203 eth1 eth0 no-haveroute step 2 .. firewall config ACCEPT 202.0.0.203 - 80 - now with eth0 (the lan) turn on masq'ing and put computers on your lan with ip address 192.168.1.2-254 with subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1 I have all of these options setup at home ... and they work sweet as !!!! here's a few interesting notes tho' 1. IP address (and hardware address) are populated throughout the world using arp cache .. (ARP = Address resolution protocol .. incase you didn't know) ... it works like this my firewall caches all IP info for my network. My ISP caches all IP info for its network (including me) the auckland gateway that my ISP uses caches all IP info for its network (including all my ISP, which includes me) the NZ gateway caches all IP info for its network (including all Auckland gateway, all my ISP, all me ) ...... and so on ... and so on ... etc etc cool? if you have to replace the NIC on a machine that uses a public IP address, it can take some time for the arp cache to update (normally a few hours ) so if make changes (as I'm sure you are while building this network) make the changes slowly, and allow time for arp cache to filter.

yes you ... but you have to make sure the the DMZ has been assigned an IP before you start IPtables if you use shorewall to configure iptables (I do) you set up dmz eth2 detect,noping,routestopped #or whatever other params you want but if your IP hasn't been assigned yet .. it won't work

yes give eth1 a static ip on a private subnet 192.168.1.1 is what I use eth0 is a public IP 202.27.218.97 eth2 is on a private subnet 10.0.0.1 if you are using dhcp on your dmz (eth2) be sure not make eth1 on the same subnet ... if you start up eth2, then ifconfig eth2 will give you the assigned IP, hopefully not in 192.168.1.0/24 subnet NAT is far more secure than using public IP's on your network, not to mention cheaper. and if any body visits (like many people do in my house) you can easily add them into your network ... give them a 192.168.1.0/24 address, and make the gateway 192.168.1.1 .... 8)

try doing this source /etc/profile or to automate it ... try running xterm -ls (login shell) I use Eterm ... and in the configuration of Eterm I ticked the box that said Enable login Shell (or something like that)

the first time I did OO it took me a lifetime, but subsequent upgrades (like from 1.0.2 to 1.03) seem to happen a lot quicker, or maybe I'm getting used to the painful compiling of OO :roll:

ok I want to change the icons WITHIN nautilus, like the home icon, refresh, back,, forward etc etc can I do that?

is there a nautilus theme some where ??? and can I change it ?? y'know the icon and stuff ?? I've got SphereAndCrystals installed and bluecurve svg ... but I can't get them loaded (without have to change every icon by hand)

you should see MTRR messages when you boot. are you?

what is eth0? is it your public network interface then it should net eth0 detect or if it is your private net work use lan eth0 detect do you have more than one network card ???? are you trying to masquarade (sp?) a network? can you give us some more details about your setup?

the 3 biggies that take ages to compile are .. kde, open office, mozilla kde took me about 10 hours IIRC, on my dual p3 with 1gig ram open office :-( start OO before bed ... coz its not fun watching it ... and it takes hours

yeah right ... you've been saying this for how long now? :mystilol:

hey BooYah .. .try using Esetroot to set your background image ... qiv doesn't support transparency (which is what you want from idesk by the sounds of it) bsetbg doesn't do transpancy very well.

he he :-) ... I need a spare machine so I can rebuild my FW, and Webserver witrh Gentoo ... I love it !!! although had a bad exp this week :-( vmware (with winXP) crashed ... and put bad stuff on my Filesystem ... and reiserfs could not full recover. however this is gentoo we are talking about, and it wasn't too hard to fix 1. boot from livecd 2. mount / and /home (/ had the bad fs and mount /home to /home2) 3. mkdir /mnt/gentoo/home2/root-backup 4. cp -ax / /mnt/gentoo/home2/root-backup (copied everything except the bad files) 5. remake the / fs (mkreiserfs /dev/hda5) 6. cp -a /mnt/gentoo/home2/root-backup /mnt/gentoo 7 reboot 8-)

Tyme: ... yeah I'm trying to install other themes from art.gnome.org or themes.freshmeat.net ... I can with some of them, but not others. bvc: <sarcasm> Yeah righto .... Mr. anti gentoo :-P </sarcasm> actually I've read a few thing about compiling gnome from source too. It seems you are right :shock: I can still do the things I want ... I just have to logout before changes take affect :roll:

1. Thanks BVC ... you actually need to restart gniome before any of the new themes show up :roll: which sound pretty windowsy to me 2. Thanks beesea, that works perfectly !!!! 3. firstly this for bvc secondly, same as above, you need to restart gnome before any changes take affect :roll:

after seeing dolson screenshot of his Gnome Desktop, I thought I might give it a shot for a while. (dolson screeshot is here http://icculus.org/~dolson/images/mydesktop.png ) I've got a couple of questions tho' 1. I can't seem to install theme (icon themes, or window border themes) am I d/loading the wrong thing or what ? can somebody give me a quick HOW-TO please? 2. Is there a way to *map* keys to execute commands? example: I like having ALT-x to execute a terminal, and ALT-s to execute Sylpheed. 3. How do I edit the Gnome menu? (add and replace items etc)
