Suse_Firewall2 with ADSL router
by scc 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Hi everyone We want some sort of protection for our LAN connected to a 3com ADSL router. Everyone (18 machines and a server) have internet access but we can't get the firewall 2 to setup properly error: failed services in runlevel 5 Suse_firewall2. Anyone got a similar setup and can help us? 18 computer Lan, squid to cache the www, samba, 7.3 mix of Linux and w98 machines. Thanks, Steve.

where to put the ADSL cable
by scc 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Hi everyone. 18 computer Samba network under SuSE 7.3. 3Com ADSL router. Works great on a single computer but when we put it in our hub we get nothing apart from the server being able to use the internet. We have placed a second ethernet card in the server. The server is 192.168.0.1 and eth1 in the same machine at 192.168.0.22. The gateway is 192.168.0.4. We can ping all the machines and Samba can see all the clients shares and vica versa. We have tried with and without squid and we are using the nameservers given by the 3Com guys. There are no firewalls to get in the way yet either. Any help anyone? Thanks, Steve.

I need to download some big files on a dial-up connection on a newly installed SuSE 7.2 system, so I want to use wget. I cannot however seem to connect to any server - any ideas? Example wget output: dwr@linux:~ > wget ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.1… --10:57:42-- ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.1… => `k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm' Connecting to ftp.gwdg.de:21... connected! Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in! ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.16 ... done.==> PORT ... done. ==> RETR k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm ... Error in server response, closing control connection. Retrying. The same thing happens for every server, every file I try. -- Daniel Rees e: dan(a)dwrees.co.uk w: http://www.dwrees.co.uk

setting up my own mail server
by FX Fraipont 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Help! I have susbcribed to the no-ip DNS redirection service,and it works (fxf.no-ip.org) I have a domain name, which is correctly configured and is redirected to my webpage (www.nibz.org) I a running a SuSE linux box, and am trying to set up a mail server; I have postfix set up, I can send mail ok; I have ipop3d running, but I cannot receive mail sent to fx(a)nibz.org or fx(a)fxf.no-ip.org. In the No-IP manage hosts section, I have set up mail to use mail.nibz.org. If I ping mail.nibz.org, it returns my ip address, so it looks right to me. Idem with pop.nibz.org Have I overlooked anything? thanks Fx -- _______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux

Re: [SLE] Dual booting SuSE73 and Win XP
by Eddie Howson 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Thanks David, Perhaps I should have been a bit more explicit. Because I work in an area that uses several operating systems often dual booting, I have set up my computer so that it has Windows98 (in the first partition), WindowsXP(in the second, replacing 2K) and SuSE7.3 (in the third). This worked fine with NT and 2K. The actual order of the partitions is necessary for windows. Re-installation would be a lot of hassle especially if I couldn't guarantee the results. Eddie ----------------------------------- I have xp and 7.3 on my laptop with no problems, both booting from lilo OK. XP will need to be in the first (NTFS) partition of your drive (except for a small boot partition, if you want it). So if you installed xp AFTER 7.3, that may be the problem. You could use Partition Magic to move the relevant partitions or do a re-install - XP first, then 7.3. Hope that helps!
