kenton Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Man, you are paranoid. Before you even tinker with Linux, you ought to have a basic understanding of using your (I'm assuming you're broadband, I wish I was. . .) router along with creating a (D)MZ. Basically, what I'm saying is, if you don't quite trust your system just yet, put it behind something that won't port forward, obviously this isn't 100% secure and does limit your "server" options, BUT for a client/desktop, there's no reason why it's not absolutely feasable, and stuff like local printer/internet sharing will work just fine because your local network is trusted.

crazyspongebob Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 How come I have posted using to different IP's. I only have one system at my home. Okay, I think that is because I use a computer at my workplace to post sometimes. But can you explain how my system got chage from;[jmr0311@home-desktop jmr0311]$ to this [jmr0311@localhost jmr0311]$ Do you think that there is a possibility, an application running in my system did it ? Thanks for taking the time and help me understand all this. javi <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wonder if you have a fully qualified domain name. Check you /etc/hosts file and /etc/sysconfig/network file to see if your hostname is there. The hostname in those two places has to be the same. It is just a suggestion. Somehow, when you lose network connection and your box is on DHCP, it cannot pull the the domain name. J.T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 That's the point, I haven't done anything to my system that could suggest why it change. Famous last words Been there done that :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I remember making an iptables-ruleset (firewall) that was wayyy too secure. I ended up not being able to connect to the X server, so starting GNOME always failed. oops. :woops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
