[opensuse] Need Advise
by Chuck Payne 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Ok, please please bear with me. I been fight with my ips and Linksys to get my network back up. Background I have DSL. The company I am with, started me out on a ADSL that they set up with my block of ip's. I have 16. 13 that I can use. One lost to Network, Boardcast, and the gateway. On friday, I move from my old little house to my new big house. The old house could work with ADSL. The new house as fiber to the house. Because of this, I can't no longer use my modem. I had to purchase a router that support PPPoE, no problem, most due. Here where the problem because. I can connect to my ISP and I get my WAN ip, and I can get out, because NAT'ing is turn on, but I can't get in. If I turn NAT'ing off I can't get in or out. Problem Let me explain a bit about my network, I hope this helps and doesn't confuse everyone. I will change the ip's for safety reason. But you should be able to follow along. My router is a Linksys, it might be the problem. It is BEFSR41 Version 4.3. I got in and set it up for PPPoE with my user id and password. I connect I get the wan ip of 47.216.14.229, Now I give my router the ip of 47.216.17.87 with a subnet of 255.255.255.240. Now my boxes are on the same 47.216.17.86/28 network. I go in the router and turn off NAT'inng. I can from my linux box ping 47.219.14.229 but I can't ping any thing belong it. The Questions... Does anyone know of a good cheap DSL Router that I can set my gateway ip and it will allow all my other ip's to go out, and do PPPoE? I was told that some people flah linksys routers to get it more use. Does anyone know what the software is and a link to the page? It's most off the shelves routers are for people with no static or one. Oh, the range for the router needs to be in the $50 to $80 range, I might be able to go as high as $100. Does anyone have a Linksys BEFSR41 and more that one static IP? Have you gotten yours to work? If I can't get this done with router what would it take for my linux box to be able to do this. It currently has two nic, one is 47.216.17.88/28 and the other is 192.168.65.2/24. Does I need a third Nic? Would this be wise, would the other computers be able to get out? Does anyone have any Advice beside "RTFM"? I know it weird to ask this list, but I am at a lost. My websites, no email and wife that doesn't understand that some times these things take a bit of work. Thanks a head of time.

[opensuse] bash pipe
by drek 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hello, In a script I want to know in which directory I am, but I don't want to know the whole path. I thought it was easy, but I got an errormessage: drek@laptop:~> pwd | basename basename: missing operand Try `basename --help' for more information. I expected to get the output from pwd ( /home/drek/ ) piped to basename. So I expected to get "drek" as the final result. But unfortunately.... Anyone with an explanation?

All, OS 11.0 with all online updates. Starting a few days ago my office computer no longer wakes up in the morning. ie.

by Philip Burness 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

HI, I've added some shared folders using the virtualbox settings area but I cannot use them in windows within the vbox. I'm using OpenSuSE linux 11.0 as the host, I have the guest tools installed for vbox. I'm using vbox OSE2.02 and Windows XP as the guest OS. The shared folder is /home/user/Documents named Docs on the host Within a command Prompt window I issue net use x: \\vboxsvr\Docs It comes back with System Error 53 has occured. The network path was not found. Any idea's on what I'm doing wrong or may have missed?

Opensuse 11 x86 64 kde 4.1.1 and i updated to the latest compiz lastnight using yast->update all newer packages. Now, there is no windows decorations and Configure Desktop -> Advanced -> Session Manager -> Window Manager -> Compiz does not exist. Not able to run simple-ccsm as the keyboard does not work in terminal. There has to be a simpler way for compiz to update. Everytime i update, compiz breaks!

Or maybe not. Sucess. The drive came with a two-headed cable but that made no difference. Thanks anyway. I got a return authorization from Tiger Direct. The Iomega eGo external 160 GB USB hard drive is going back. I ordered a similar Western Digital and will report in a couple days.
