SuSE as firewall/router for Windows
by Kaare Rasmussen 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

I need to set up a SuSE Linux 7.0 as a firewall / router in a Windows environment. I have configured /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config very standard, I think where I have the clients on the local side as 192.168.1.x. In the DMZ I have some servers (with public IP adresses) that I need to see as a Windows client. What do I do to make network browsing and the like work? I thought that if I pointed to the external WINS server, it would work, but apparantly I need something else. Can anyone tell me what that is?

how to connect a linux box to ethernet/adsl modem
by dids 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

After further investigation. i have reached this position. Im hoping the following is a typical setup Im a bit confused over this one. linux---ethernet-->Modem=Alcatel Speedtouch Home --adsl--->internet You have an adsl/modem with an ethernet port. The isp is using pppoA. You can configure the modem using a web browser to setup ppp. so... how do u set up the linux box to talk to the internet throught the modem, do you set the modems ip as the gateway. Im confused because the manuals for win9x make you setup a vpn to the modem using pptp. dont like the look of that. you can set up the modem, as dhcp server. so perhaps you just use it as a gateway. ramble ramble thanks dids

The single must irritating thing about X11 Desktops is that few of them give you much (or any) visual clue that some action is being taken in response to your clicking. And failures don;t usually surface in the desktop but on the console recording X messages.. Quite why this has come about I don't know, but it a real pain. Netscape of course is a classic problem, since it guzzles as much of every resource it can find it takes an age to start up. But some of the KDE apps are just as bad... How about a little turning hourglass a la Windows .. hee hee (down boys and girls, don;t bite now..) Cliff

KDE & URL's
by Guy Van Sanden 18 Jan '01

How can I set up KDE (and kmail) to open URL's and html files with another browser than kfm? I tried associating mozilla with .html files, I can use it when right-clicking and selecting mozilla, but by default kfm is still used. Thanks Guy

dhcpd - IP-change script
by Guy Van Sanden 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

Hello everyone I've got a question. I'm running dhcp-daemon, which invokes a script everytime my IP changes (to update my DNS entry). Now, I was wondering, when booting, does the daemon wait for the script to finish? If I have something like this while (update_failed { sleep 300 update DNS } Would my system pause booting until the update finishes? Thanks ! Guy
