Are you aware of the OSI layers? 1) Physical layer 2) Media access / Data Link 3) Network 4) Transport 5) Session 6) Presentation 7) Application Switches are (normally) working in layer 2 - this is the ethernet layer (or token ring or atm or isdn or whatever). Routers work in layer 3. This is where IP comes in. So routers route the traffic between IP-subnets (this is why you need the netmasks), and switches "route" the traffic according to the ARP-table (MAC-addresses). If you need IP-filters and NAT and stuff you'll need a firewall which takes care of the routing too (this could be a linux-box, a cable-router or a cisco, if you have that much money ;-) > Or how to have linux take care of the routing info. There's a good linux routing howto. Have a look at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/ cheers, Stefan

I'm wondering if anyone out there uses a really good GUI webpage builder. Something equal to FrontPage or Dreamweaver. I've tried Bluefish and wasn't thrilled. Any thoughts? Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

KMAIL Problems
by Norman Duncan 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Since installing KDE3.1.3 some months ago I have had a series of "occational" problems with KMAIL - as below. I have just gritted my teeth and ignored them, but now they are becoming permanent and un bearable. Googling does not seem to yield anything useful. I hope someone can help. Bear in mind that I am a simple trainer and need to be led in this field. Norman 1. it does not always load immediately. sometimes it loads on the first click on the button , sometimes afer a few clicks, and now more often it requires up to about 15 2. Sometimes it opens mails fine, and at other times it converts mails into UNKNOWN in subject, sender and date.... with no content. Only when I move the mail to trash or another sub folder does it become readable again, with its administrative details. 3. ALWAYS - on shutting it down - it launches crash handler with the following messages: 0x415e63a9 in wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #0 0x415e63a9 in wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #1 0x41661cf0 in __DTOR_END__ () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #2 0x41459983 in waitpid () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #3 0x40b99d9d in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler(int) () from /opt/kde3/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #4 0x41457a7a in pthread_sighandler () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #5 <signal handler called> #6 0x407305ee in Kpgp::Module::~Module() () from /opt/kde3/lib/libkdenetwork.so.2 #7 0x08159fca in QComboBox::setAutoCompletion(bool) () #8 0x4077993f in KStaticDeleter<Kpgp::Module>::destructObject() () from /opt/kde3/lib/libkdenetwork.so.2 #9 0x40ba5b87 in KGlobal::deleteStaticDeleters() () from /opt/kde3/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #10 0x40b2e906 in KApplication::~KApplication() () from /opt/kde3/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #11 0x40bb45c7 in KUniqueApplication::~KUniqueApplication() () from /opt/kde3/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #12 0x0818a38e in QComboBox::setAutoCompletion(bool) () #13 0x415614c2 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

plasma screen resolution 1365x768
by Berge, Harry ten 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Hi, We're investigating the use of plasma screens. Almost all plasma screens have a native resolution of 1365x768 (16:9). However, I can't find a graphics adapter that can display this resolution. Has anyone experience with plasma screens? And how did you fix this problem? > Met vriendelijke groet / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards, > H.J. ten Berge Test Engineer HITT Traffic Oude Apeldoornseweg 41-45 P.O.

SuSE 8.2 + Mailman + Apache2
by mettius 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Hello, Has anyone had success getting mailman's web interface to work with Apache2? The SuSE mailman rpm installs and plugs itself into Apache1 (which I'm not running). It note the following is added by the rpm: /etc/httpd/modules/mailman (nothing like this is added to /etc/apache2/modules) /etc/httpd/mailman.conf (nothing like this is added to /etc/apache2/modules) The only mailman options in YAST2 are for Apache1 (not Apache2) Any suggestions? Thanks, -Mettius
