Re: [SLE] Problems w/ NIC flaking out... I think.

flaky nic or flaky cable. you said you bought a switch, is it by chance a 10/100 autosensing? would it be running 100/full duplex? if so, force it to 10mbps, and see if it helps. on my system, some of my more lengthy cable runs don't like 100mbps too much. try a ping, and let it go for say 100 packets on the 100mbps. contro-c and look at the packet loss. then, force to 10mbps, do the same ping, and compare. ron --- Monte Milanuk <milanuk(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Ok.

Re: [SLE] two nics??

eth0 is the world interface (cablemodem) eth1 is the lan interface "firewall" and it is mixed with 10 and 100 base t clients, and is quite loaded. eth2 is the second lan interface protected from the world via firewall rules. It is used for Samba shares, as well as a few xterms. Because of the x-terms (diskless) and the fact that my Samba shares actually run executables stored on the share, I thought it best to dedicate bandwith at 100base t to these clients And, network cards are less than the price of a 12 pack in Cali.

[SLE] GNOME 1.2.1
by canr＠mail.com 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

Thanks to all who replied to my message. To get out of the graphical login interface which refused to accept any input, I rebooted the system with the kernel on level 2. I had tried Ctrl-Alt-Bkspace Ctrl-Alt-F1, F2, F3..... without any effect whatsoever. BTW, I got into this problem when I tried to update my current GNOME to version 1.2.1, the installation of which went very well or at least no error were reported. I have now re-installed the old version of GNOME and after some problenms with missing library files I managed to get my old GNOME working with enligtenment. cheers Carlos SuSE 6.4 Kernel 2.2.14 KDE 1.2 ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

[SLE] Seagate 30.6 gig HD cylinders?
by lsayre＠stratos.net 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

I've just ordered a new Seagate 30.6 Gig EIDE (UDMA 66, 7200 RPM) hard drive, and I would like to know in advance how many megabytes (or gigabytes) it has within the 1st 1024 cylinders, so I can start planning how to partition it for Linux, DOS, OS/2, and Win98. Any thoughts on partitioning are also welcomed. Lawrence Sayre --------------------------------------------- "Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!"
