Any idea where I can find up-to-date documentation on hylafax. Not like their website, that specifies a 33.6 modem as a fast modem.

Hi guys I still need some help

*bump*

I got a newer modem driver from linmodems.org. I got one for my kernel specifically. It still gives the "Sorry, we support only 2.4 and above kernels. " error, but I can dail the modem to my ISP now. I will set up efax to test the faxing.

Can anyone help me with how to configure the PCI modem in hylafax

I'm trying to set up a fax server. I want to use HylaFAX ( give me a better alternative if you can,PLEASE). I have two incoming fax lines going into 2 PCI internal FAX modems. I also want to add a 3rd external modem for outgoing faxes. I have been having problems at EVERY turn. My current problem is:

I DON'T KNOW ON WHICH COM PORT MY PCI MODEM IS YOU STUPID MODEM CONFIG SCRIPT!!

I read some thing about adding a modem on "ttySx". I have NO clue what that is.

harddrake picks up my 2 internal modems (Conexant HSF 56k data/fax/voice/Spkp (w/Handset) Modem Worldwide SmartDAA), but when i want to configure them using harddrake I get the following error:

Sorry, we support only 2.4 and above kernels.

I'm running mandrake 10.0 CE

I don't know if this problem affects my first.

I have been Chewing on this problem for 2 whole days PLEASE HELP

Ok I tried this and it did not work. I thing my script wont run from the startup folder.

Is there somewhere I can put a command to run the script from it's original location.

Note that I want to run it when the pc starts up (before login)

Can anyone explain to me how the runlevels work.

I want my mandrake to run a script at startup. I already put the script in the "init.d"

folder and made symbolic links from the rc3.d and rc6.d (an example told me to do It this way).

I understand what I'm doing up to that point, but I need clarification on two things

1. What is the differences between the run levels

2. Why are all the links named with a K80<filename> or S01<filename>.

Thanx everyone!

Thanks

How do I then run the Gui from the command line. What is the command?

I want to use a box as a server, so I don't want the GUI to start (and use up resources) When the PC restarts.

Can I change the settings so that the GUI only starts when I give it the command? What would that command be?

That error acually prevents you from having network access, when your not running X

It took me a long while to figure that one out.

What file do I edit to determine what services run at startup (eg ftp)

I know how to run a service

Also if someone can tell me how to add a program as a service under mandrake, it would be nice

I'm considering shorewall.

Could you guys let me in on how difficult shorewall is to set up? would I (limited linux knowlage, but good in IT in general) be able to set it up?

I agree completely - my note about the 500 line script tells me the script is perhaps overly complex.

 

Why is ipchains still in use at this site? Perhaps an old kernel? Perhaps Sapphiron has no choice - company policy?

 

Bottom line is (IMHO) that Sapphiron needs to learn firewalling if he/she is/has been put in charge of maintaining it, and may find it better to start afresh, perhaps with iptables/shorewall?

 

After all, if you alter the firewall, you are responsible for security, therefore you should know what you are doing...

Streeter is right. I am new to this company. They used to outsource their it networking. I'm just here investigate some possibilities. The gateway machine is running red hat 7, so I think iptables could work. At the moment I need to get access to our web server(runs a internal web-based application) from the internet.

I understand the concepts of firewalls, but I have no experiece with linux firewalls. I think my problem is that the port forwarding I am using, is not configured right, or the firewall might be blocking the the incoming request on the port I want.

I'm Attaching a file with a segment of the script (Don't worry It does not contain my public ip)

script_segment.rtf

First off, Ipchains is very outdated now, most people would advise you to use an netfilter iptables based firewall. I think ipchains  was aimed at the pre 2.4 kernels though it make work with 2.4 also.

Found an old ipchains howto here: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/2100/3/

I know it's old, but the current script file is 500 lines. I do not want to rewrite it in another program.

I want to access a web server at my office from the internet.

I have a linux firewall/gateway that is connected to a router that is connected the the modem.

I have to use ipchains to configure the firewall.

the web server uses port 8080.

What do I have to add to my firewall script to get this to work

I have a linux box (Red Hat 7) running at my ISP. I would like to know if there is a way to backup an entire linux installation to a remote location using only a ssh terminal?And also how to restore it

I like to set the PATH and CLASSPATH variables as wel, but I can't seem to get them set to the right values

Im have trouble setting the environmental variables in Mandrake 10

Could someone give me a HOW-TO

Besides - would you want the creators of Windows inventing something that plugs into your body? I think not...

Now a sasser type worm could REALLY mess up your day. :lol:

Be carfull when buying new ram for you old p2. Some of the newer SDRAM does not work in older MB's. (HINT)

I run Mandrake 10 on a P3 667 with 128mb RAM. And It runs better with mandrake than My AthlonXP 1500 (384mb Ram) runs with Win XP.

The only thing I can do is unmount the point. I can't remove it completely. It still tries to reconnect at startup.

I "mounted" a shared folder on a win2000 pc using samba

each time I restart my linux box, it pauses when it wants to remount that point. I have to press enter to continue booting. Any advice?

Thanks a lot.

You completely solved my problems. (I'm sure more will come up in the future)

Thanks

I downloaded Mozilla Firefox. I wat to set it as my default browser. I don't want to run the shell script each time I want to use it.
