Hi,

I installed a new Mandrake 10.0 pc, which is going to be my web/mail/ftp server. Postfix is installed and running, only the pc does not accept connections on port 25. I don't see anything like a smtp daemon, is there something like that or should Postfix accept connections on that port? If that is the case, why doesn't it do that then?

I am wondering if I can get my wlan card to work under Linux. I am using SuSe 9.0 and YaST detects the card as a BC94306 network card, so that should mean it has a Broadcom chipset in it. However, that module (if there is any) is not binded to a network interface (eth1), how can I do that? Or do I need an additional driver?

It probably isn't you. Have you checked the supported hardware list on the Mandrake page for 10.0? Also, did you need to do anything extra to get that modem to work with 9.2?

You are talking about the USB version of the modem right?

Ok now by exporting the default route, something seems to be fixed/going better now. Now I can ping my laptop from the server. I can surf if I use my proxy server (same linux server), only I still can't ping from a dos prompt so I don't have a direct connection to the internet.

When I do a tracert fom my laptop to a website, it gets as far as my server (10.0.1.155), from there I think it should go to 192.168.1.249 which is the gateway for my server, and from there to the internet.

default 192.168.1.249 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

This is what I get, does it look allright to you cause it kinda does look ok to me.

I can try that, however, when I type ipconfig /all on my Windows laptop, it does has a gateway configured, 10.0.1.155 which should be correct as far as I know.

The server then has to reroute to the other interface so I guess it goes wrong there...

Hello everyone,

I just moved my server to another DSL connection (different IP ofcourse) and now I can receive mails but I can't send them anymore :(

When I try to send something this is what I get back:

<johan.vanderxxx@xxx-ams.nl>: Name service error for xxx-ams.nl: Host found

but no data record of requested type

Seems to me the name resolution is ok, but I don't have a clue what this error means...

http://ilohamail.org

I use that one, I like it and it is easy to configure...

First my setup:

Mandrake 9.0 server with 2 NIC's:

eth0 (10.0.1.155) -> internal network

eth1 (192.168.1.155) -> external network, connected to my ADSL router (192.168.1.249)

The gateway for my server is set to the ADSL router, and I can internet, FTP etc. from my server, no problem. The ADSL router makes the connection, not my server.

The server is also a DHCP server on the internal network. When I start up my laptop, it gets an IP adres and some other things:

IP: 10.0.1.157

Gateway: 10.0.1.155 (my linux server)

DNS server: 10.0.1.155 (my linux server also runs as a dns server)

Now from my laptop, when I type ping nu.nl in a dos-prompt, I can see the domain is resolved to an ip adress, so the DNS works, but I don't get any replies. Logically, I can not internet from my laptop. I can ping the server from my laptop, but visa versa does not work! The solution to this problem surely has to do with my server not being able to ping my laptop, although it does give out an IP adress to it...Any suggestions?

I downloaded that Gtk2 version of Firefox, doesn't make any difference at all.

If you are trying to get micromedia flash player to work you also need libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

?? We are talking about Java here...

I have downloaded and installed that RPM package but it doesn't make any difference at all, Mozilla still keeps telling me I don't have that plugin.

I did download and install that codec package, but I guess I don't use the GTK2 version of Mozilla then. How can I check?

You could try Mandrakes own RPM of the java. j2re-1.4.2_01-1mdk.i586.rpm Its on our d-load site here: ftp://mandrake-forum.org/pub/Misc/

Your link doesn't work and I can't find the rpm somewhere else. Can you check your site for me plz?

ln -s /usr/lib/real/*.* ~/.gnome2/totem-addons/

Ok, i did that, only my path to the Realplayer is /apps/realplayer and there is no dir in there called real so I assumed it was

ln -s /apps/realplayer/*.* ~/.gnome2/totem-addons

Now when I click a Realaudio file on a webpage the window telling me I don't have the plugin pops up. Do I need to associate Totem with rpm files in Mozilla and how do I do that?

Or copy rpnp.so from /usr/lib/RealPlayer8 to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. To do this, from a terminal as root:

 

cd /usr/lib/RealPlayer8

cp rpnp.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

 

Then Edit > Peferences > Helper Applications > New Type

For MIME Type: audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin

Extension: rpm

 

And save.

I tried this, now when I click the link to the Realaudio file on a website, Mozilla automatically closes...Nice feature but it wasn't what I had in mind...No error message or whatsoever.

> real-codecs-1.2-1plf.i586.rpm

When I even click on this link Mozilla closes too! After removing the rpnp.so file from the mozilla/plugins directory Mozilla works fine again...seems to be something wrong with the plugin then?

4) Close Totem, go into console, now you can create a symlink inside the ~/.gnome2/totem-addons folder:

 

$ ln -s /usr/lib/real/*.* ~/.gnome2/totem-addons/

I use KDE, where can I find that totem-addons dir then?

I am not having much luck with trying to get plugins to work with Mozilla 1.6. Now I have a problem with RealAudio. I downloaded the .bin installer, and installed the player into /apps/realplayer. After the files are copied, the installation program asks me if I want it to install the Netscape plugin, and ofcourse I would like that. Nothing happens though, no plugin is installed in /apps/mozilla/plugins. The RealPlayer itself starts up, but when I try to play something from a webpage it tells me I have to download the plugin...Help?

I am trying to get the Java plugin to work with my Mozilla 1.6 browser, but whatever I try it doesn't work. If I choose to download and install it automatically, it asks me again when I visit a page which requires Java. If I download and install it manually in the plugins directory, same thing happens. The rights on the file are OK. What else could I try? With previous versions of Mandrake (I got 9.2 now) and Mozilla (1.4) it worked and was easy to install.

When you say freeze, I take it you can't do anything except hitting the power off / reset button, or does Ctrl+Alt+Del initializes the shutdown sequence?

Well having a separate firewall is nice and probably better I think, but on the other end it's

just my home network we're talking about. That firestarter frontend sounds interesting I think I'm gonna play with it.

Ah, the file had the immutable bit...so that explains why..pity ls -l doesn't show you that info....

chattr -i lilo.conf

Nah, I just want my users to access 1 site only...I already tried installing squidguard only it's old so it doesn't accept my BerkeleyDB 4.2 which I also installed for that purpose.

I've just installed Squid and got it to work, now I just want the users to only be able to access one site I define, how can I do something like that? Do I need Squidguard?

The owner is root allready. The directory where lilo.conf is in is /etc, and since I can change other files in there, I don't think the volume isn't mounted incorrectly.
