I also cant get diald to start from bootup it says YES in rc.config but dosnt start it Went as far as adding a line in /sbin/init.d/boot and I was lucky to recover the system after that :-o Ive been starting diald from the command line any input would be appreciated thanks rob -- Linux Home page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> - 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'm not running Red Hat so I can't double check up on their FHS compliance. But I've noticed 2 oddities with SuSE. Tell me if I'm misunderstanding the FHS (I've got FHS 2.0, /usr/doc/FHS/)... - there's no /etc/X11 (p. 10). This is supposed to contain host-specific X11 config files. As far as I can tell, on SuSE these are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. - /sbin/init.d? (p. 13) /sbin is supposed to contain only system administration binaries. Personally, I would expect init.d to be found among the host-specific files in /etc. - Scott S.Toms wrote: > > "Vicente A.S.

Thanks for the suggestion, Tom, but when I try it, I get: route: netmask doesn't match route address Usage: blah blah blah (usage msg from route) Error while excuting: [sic] /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 127.0.0.1 dev lo and a similar message for 192.168.81.38. I get a similar message when I stop routing with /sbin/init.d/route stop (with "del" instead of "add" in the msg line). The routing table remains unchanged after stopping or starting with this configuration; apparently this error is so severe that /sbin/route takes no action at all. Any thoughts? However, on the bright side, eliminating the default line DOES get rid of the error message at shutdown. Eventually, I will be setting up PPP on big-dog, but I'll worry about that after figuring out this simple setup. jimo(a)eskimo.com - 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>>

Don't listen to em just yet. They're out to make money on something you can do for next to nothing and a little work! I have a similar setup using a cable modem(roadrunner) with a mixed linux/win95/win98 setup among 5 computers. I use an Asante friendly net 5 port hub to connect the 5 machines. I have 1 machine (linux box) with 2 network cards. This machine is the one connected to the cable modem on NIC #1. It gets a dynamic IP address from my ISP. NIC #2 connects to my home lan (fixed class C network addresses, 192.168.x.x)via the hub. The linux box runs IP Masq and firewall to make all my other boxes look as if only 1 box is accessing the Internet. The other machines (1 linux box and 3 windows machines) connect to it via their own NIC's on my local network. I just setup the windows machines to use a proxy server (the linux box at 192.168.1.1) and setup the appropriate ports. All 5 machines can access the net at the same time with no noticable decrease in speed. I got most of the information I needed from the How-to's on IP masq and firewall as well as the cable modem how-to. A search on dejanews.com gave me some insight as well. The important thing to do first is to get the local network working first between your 2 machines. Then start with the rest. you don't need a dedicated 3rd machine for what you are doing, but it is nice. I happened to have enough spare parts over and put an old PCI bus 486 together to have the cable modem attached to it. I used 6 pci NE2000 10/100 compatible NICS ($19.00 a piece mailorder) and the Asante friendly net 5 port hub ($39.00) and SuSE 5.3 to accomplish this. I figured why pay roadrunner more for another IP address when linux does it for a little bit of sweat. Hope this helps a bit. J-L jlboers(a)usa.net ---"Matthew D.

Hi everyone! I want to use my AGP i740 graphic card with the SuSE 5.3. What can I do? The XFree86 3.3.3 have support for this card, isnŽt it?

Hello I have an AxDSL connection. The way this is set up is the company takes my network adaptor address (12-digit, hex) and binds that to a specific IP address. I want to connect a second computer, laptop, to the internet via this AxDSL connection. They have told me that I need to purchase an additional account for a monthly fee and they will provide a second IP. The laptop has a network card. How can I network both computers to the AxDSL using the one with an IP as a gateway. Is this possible? If so what kind of HUB is reccomended? Do I need one with an uplink? Both systems run Linux and Win98. SHould I use a third system as a dedicated gateway and connect the others to that, and then that to the AxDSL? Any help would be appreciated.
