[SuSE Linux] Netscape, ftp, and localhost broken, why?
by zentara＠netfrog.net 24 Dec '98

24 Dec '98

Hi, I've been fiddling around with my little lan, checking things out. I used to be able to use netscape to ftp via ethernet to another machine, or ftp to localhost. Now I get a message about "broken pipe" in the network. Xftp, and the commandline ftp still work. Anyone know why? I have faster machines now, is netscape prone to timing loop problems when ftp'ing? I'm worried that my tcp/ip subsystem is broke. :-( - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Re: [SuSE Linux] HEEELLLPPP!

I finally found the missing libraries (thanks to Andy Ford!), I needed in order to compile my kernel. I modified the .config file to provide ppp support, rather than as a loadable module. I compile a new kernel and have it running in my system. However, when I run pppd, I still get the message saying my kernel does not support PPP. HELP!!, What am I missing? Does anybody knows where the ppp modules are located? I am running SuSE 5.2. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I hope this will make others think of trying a different distribution. People need to know that Linux is not Redhat. I don't share your view that you may as well use Windows though... I've used Redhat and I prefer it over Windows. The gripe that I've heard about Redhat is that they list some Hardware as supported when they (redhat) know it isn't. Did you read the comment from the guy in the UK about how they are starting to write Redhat only programs? Thank goodness the Germans like to vote. regards Joe P.S. I did vote for S.u.S.E. ;-) ---- Begin Original Message ---- From: Sent: Wed, 23 Dec 1998 07:36:34 -0500 (EST) To: Subject: [SuSE Linux] Winner SuSE and Runner-up RH Here you go folks.
