Oh ok you have Apache 2. You should keep your stuff .. you only need the virtualhost thing actually .. MOtTs

A little how to for ya http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharin...p_ics/index.htm (specially http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharin...rverdialup.htm) Windows XP will be the gateway at 192.168.0.1. Just tell your Mandrake box to connect to this gateway. The Win XP box should gives you an IP (via the dhcp server) in the 192.168.0.x range. I did this about 2 years ago. Now this Win XP box has been replaced by Mandrake 9.0... but the principle is the same (NAT, DHCP, etc..) MOttS

Hi turi What about for /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf Because according to THIS, first VirtualHost in config file is priorized. So Apache will check if the client typed 'YourDomainName.com' and direct to /var/www/html/SpecialDirectory and if the client typed something else (ie *) then it will direct to /var/www/html. Now, all your DIRECTORIES have to be READ and EXECUTABLE by 'others' but NOT WRITE. The FILES, however, only have to be READ by 'others'. [root@localhost vhosts]# ls -l /var/www/html/ total 372 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 mar 4 00:38 Air Cargo/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2326 mar 4 00:38 apache_pb.gif drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 aoû 22 23:17 Bike/ drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 avr 5 07:50 Buggy/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12891 mar 4 00:38 caffeine.gif drwxrwxr-x 4 root root 4096 aoû 24 14:25 DepartManu/ drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 aoû 1 00:15 History/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5881 avr 30 21:58 index.html drwxrwxr-x 8 root root 4096 mar 4 00:38 MDKLinux/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6965 mar 4 00:38 MDKlinux.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1478 mar 4 00:38 msfree.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 233573 aoû 15 11:54 Receipe_PostOffice.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56859 aoû 26 22:15 T1000.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 998 aoû 26 22:15 Uptime.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6340 mar 4 00:38 WelcomeBonjour.png Hope this helps MOttS

I guess you are talking about .tar.gz (the source) here. In each packages, they tell you which other package is required (dependencies) and how to actually compile/install it. Usually, you only have to extract the content of the .tar.gz (just type 'tar xvfz PackageName.tar.gz') and read the INSTALL.txt and README.txt. The usuall procedure is ./configure (configure the source according to your system) make (compile the source. Ie create binaries) make install (install the binaries) Download one package and try! .. try to start with an easy app first though. MOttS

When you choose this option, it installs a bunch of servers (Apache, SSHD, NFS, etc etc etc) so I don't thing you should do this. The only thing you should select is KDE (or Gnome), the desktop environment. Then, when you have rebooted, install SAMBA from RpmDrake (the software manager accessible from the mandrake control center). This server is the only one you need to get your win2k and your mandrake box to communicate. Once installed, you'll have to configure it however ... like setting your workgroup and your shares for example. When you are there just start another post and I'll be glad to help you. Of course! .. but still, I don't suggest your to select too much stuff... just the KDE package and leave the other choices empty. This way you'll have a fast and clear box on which you'll build a strong server. But KDE will still be usable, exactly if Samba wouldn't be installed. MOttS

Humm.. you have to set your WinXP box as a gateway (probably 192.168.1.1) and tell your Mandrake box to connect to it. You'll see those settings in the MCC->Network&Internet I guess. But proxy stuff isn't required here I promess... MOttS

Why don't you enable internet connection sharing (ICS) on the Windows box? Since you and your "other half" are ethernet connected (can we say it?) I don't see why it wouldn't work. Well, if your "other half" run Win XP home then I doubt it but with XP Pro the ICS wizard works just right. MOttS

Hi FenestraeNunquam (what a name!) Ok, you seems to worry a lot about security right? Well, your setup is already secure. Usually, routers have a built in firewall in the box. So pratically no one from the net can pass through it and adding a Linux box between you (machine 1 and 2) and the router will not make much differences. I suggest you to check your current setup by visiting those 2 websites. Do a portscan test and check if they find open ports... I'm sure you are already pretty secure. http://scan.sygatetech.com/prequickscan.html http://www.auditmypc.com/freescan/prefcan.asp Now, if you want machine 1 to serve files then no big deal .. just put Mandrake on this machine and install/configure Samba. I guess you'll have to configure your router such that trafic is allowed within the network (at least ports 137 to 139 udp/tcp). From there you will only have to check the NetworkNeiboohood on your Win boxes and you should see the Mandrake box. It's that easy. Hope this help MOttS

HI KlutZ. Welcome to the board! Modem doc (PDF): http://www.usr.com/support/5610b/5610b-fil...10b-install.pdf According to this doc, the modem should be at /dev/ttyX, where X is some number. Now, you only have to start KPPP (I guess you are using KDE) and follow the instruction at page 6 of the PDF. If it does not work, you can try this page: http://www.usr.com/support/product-templat....asp?prod=5610b There is a RPM there .. don't know if it can help .. HTH MOttS

Welcome on the forum Lagrosse. Do you know what 'Lagrosse' mean in French? .. 'TheBig' .. :lol: wow :P Seriously, if I remember well, 8.1 was using Bastille as a Firewall. However I don't remember how to play with Bastille at all man. I suggest you to get the latest version (ie 9.1). Install it and look in the Mandrake Control Center. There is a nice and easy wizard there to share the internet. It works for me. MOttS

Your external connection is ppp0. So in /etc/shorewall/interfaces, you have to change net eth0 detect norfc1918,routefilter,dhcp for net ppp0 - norfc1918,routefilter NOTICE: I put a '-' instead of 'detect' and I removed 'dhcp' 8) You are doing good man .. !! MOttS

If you have hotplug then usb-storage should be loaded automatically when you plug the device in the usb slot. Here are the modules loaded on my computer when I plug my camera in (uses usb-storage .. as your memory stick should): I _think_ the important ones are: scsi_mod sd_mod sr_mod sg usbcore usb-ohci usb-storage ide-scsi (maybe?) Just modprobe those you don't see when you type 'lsmod' .. maybe /dev/sdX will appear.. MOTtS

This is the DOC on the Shorewall website about standalone system (1 interface): http://shorewall.net/standalone.htm But personnaly I would just uninstall shorewall and iptable and then reinstall iptable... DONT REINSTALL SHOREWALL. If you just connect to the net time to time and you don't run any server, YOU DONT NEED A FIREWALL. There are lots of other targets outhere (windows machine + servers) so chances that you are attacked and they succeded are really low .. even impossible. MOttS

Hi CrypticalCat, welcome to the forum! This is the problem. Your write is set as scd0 (therefore scsi emulated) but your reader as hdc (which is ide). You have to enable scsi emulation for your reader if you want k3b to stop complaining. static wrote a nice tutoral on this forum about that .. here it is: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=6665 You'll have to play a bit with /etc/lilo.conf and /etc/fstab to enable scsi emulation for hdc. Yes. It works like NERO. You basically have to clic File=>NewProject=>NewDataProject and then drag&drop your data in the windows. As simple as that. Yes and no. Yes if you want to erase ALL the content of a cd-rw. Otherwise, to create multi-session cdrw (I guess is what you wanna do) you have to clic File=>NewProject=>NewMixedModeProject OR create a data project and on the burning GUI, select the 'Setting' tab and clic the 'start multi-session' or 'continue multi-session'. When done clic 'Finish multi-session'. Hope this helps MOttS

http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...p?p=46183#46183 If you wanna try another firewall you have to do: 1) uninstall shorwall 2) uninstall iptable 3) reinstall iptable 4) reinstall the desired firewall (in your case Guarddog) It is so because Shorwall modifies iptable when you first install it and it does not put back iptable at it's initial state when you uninstall it. It would be simpler to configure Shorewall correctly. Here is what I would have for a 1 interface system: By default you surely have something in /etc/shorewall/rules .. what is it? What is the output of 'ifconfig' when you are connected to the net and you think you could access it? Did you restart shorewall after playing with the config files (type 'service shorewall restart' as root) ? ... MOttS

Did you create a partition with DiskDrake and format it? Upon this it should appear as /dev/hdX and you should be able to mount it using mount -t FileSystem /dev/hdX /mnt/Whatever or put an ently in fstab Are you sure the jumpers behind the drive are OK? Are your sure it's hdd and not hdb or hdc? MOttS

Hi esage. The software installer install them all because they are dependencies for the app you want to install. In other words, the app you are trying to install requires those other programs in other to work. This is why the software installer install them all .. Hope this helps MOtTs

On my system, when I plug my digital camera /dev/sda1 appears. I mount it manually though. The driver for such devices is usb-storage. You also have all the scsi emulating driver to be loaded (scsi_mod, sd_mod, sr_mod, ...). So maybe some modprobe will do .. Do you run hotplug? MOttS

ok .. so in Konq they look like a little page folded at the corner ;-) ie, your link does not work! MottS

Glad I could help! :) I don't use Twinview that much but as far as I can remember, all the apps I'm using were doing ok. I mean Xine was fullscreen on the TV and Konqueror fullscreen on the computer screen. Other than that I did not use a lots of apps while using Twinview. For Xine I just drag the windows to the TV area and then press 'F'. For Konqueror I press the button up right... MOttS

Why not put that script on the remote machine (the one you want to ssh to) and execute it every X seconds/minutes/hours/days in a cron job? OR put the script on the remote machine (with sftp or ftp) and login to this machine with ssh to execute it once in a while.. What do you wanna do exactly? MOtTS

Here is my test. It works with xmms. Just replace xmms by the process name of your script. #!/bin/bash var="$(eval pidof xmms)" if [ "$var" = "" ] then echo "XMMS is not running" else echo "XMMS is running. I'm gonna kill it;-)" kill $var fi HTH MOttS

shameless plug!! hehehe Good move! I like that kinda plug! 8) MOttS

Maybe you have problems with codec (manual install). What about an RPM? http://ozzzy.dyndns.org/mandrake/xine.html According to the Xine webpage, the svq3 codec is natively supported since 1-beta12... no need for codec. You could try that. Remove your current version, download a recent beta (or cvs) version and install it. Here is a website for RPMs (daily build): http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ Good luck! MOttS

Put them in /usr/lib/win32 or in your $HOME. If you put them in your $HOME you actually have to modify the path for codecs in /home/WhateverUser/.xine/SomeConfigFile (I don't remember the name). But make sure /usr/lib/win32 is empty prior to modity the codec path! Personnaly I would just put them in /usr/lib/win32 but that's just me .. MOttS
