Determining IP address of my pc (dial up and/or cable modem)

2001-05-24 Thread Antonio Rodriguez

I know this must be a very stupid question (+/+)  flaming myself
Any way: I am not sure how I can determine  the IP address of my machine after I have 
a dialup connection established. Will the first ip given by mtr be mine, or first 
machine connected to in network?
How does it work in the case of cable-modem connection? Since I have noticed that what 
we get is adapter address, instead of ip address.
Please send a copy of reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  (trying to connect with my home 
machine from work with putty) Lost.
Thanks a lot.

putty (Xfree terminal, talk)

2001-05-28 Thread Antonio Rodriguez

I have two questions:
1. How can I talk to an user who is accessing my computer through putty from
an windows machine? When I tried it would say that the user refused to talk.
Should I type "talk user", or I have somehow to include info about the ip of
the source machine?
2. Is there any way of gaining access to an XFree (tty7, standard setting)
terminal for a remote user?

Re: Ethernet Card recommendation

2001-09-04 Thread Antonio Rodriguez

I have the 3c* in the kernel (not as module), my 3c509b has pnp disabled (i
did it using tjhe dos utility), but still the kernel does not recognize it!
The only thing that I could think of is that the kernel image was created
and installed when the pnp had not been disabled yet, but I am not sure it
would influence the kernel image creation (i am not sure if the kernel image
creation involves comparing options with running machine hardware).
Any ideas? Thanks

System locks up with RealTek 8139 and kernel 2.2.20

2001-12-21 Thread Antonio Rodriguez

Hello all,

I've seen this problem referred to in the archives of this newsgroup,
but no clear resolution seems to have emerged. I'm running potato on
2.2.20 on about 5 servers connected via RealTek 8139s to the end of
DSL connection. The loads are nothing extraordinary, but I seem to be
having this lockup problem where all I get on the console is:

kmem_alloc: Bad slab magic (corrupt) (name=size -32)
eth1: Memory squeeze, deferring packet

and an absolutely frozen server. I would love to include stuff from
/var/log/syslog (or other log files) but it seems that the machine
locks up before syslog has a chance to write anything.

After reboot, the problem seems to repeat itself every 1-3 days. The
curious thing is that it usually takes down 1-3 servers (of the total
5) at a time. Note that I have other servers with tulip-based cards
that don't seem affected.

Here are the solutions that I am contemplating:

1. replace all the realtek 8139 cards; since each host is multihomed,
this implies replacing 8 cards. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a
rock-solid card for linux in the similar price range? I used to use
netgears before they dropped the tulip support...

2. move to 2.4 and hope this solves the problem. I have already gone
from 2.2.17 to 2.2.20 to try to fix it, but maybe the move to 2.4 will
be more significant.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Antonio

Sun java in testing

2003-01-26 Thread Antonio Rodriguez
I am trying to install drawboard (http://drawboard.souceforge.net) in my
home network as trial before making it accessible to the outer world. But
when I run
"java -cp ." as indicated the response from the system is "unknown
option"
I have installed sun java jdk.1 version from testing, so I suspect that the
sun version requires another option equivalent to "-cp"
Any ideas?
A second question is related to making my home network accessible from the
outer world. I have both machines (win98 and testing) behind a linksys
etherfast cable/dsl  BEFSR41 model router, and would like to know how to
implement that. Any ideas, pointers to docs, etc will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

In Russia onanism (pronounced -follow spanish convention for vowels- as ananism)
means self gratification, masturbation, and is used to indicate that the object
referred to has little or no value. Probably having root same as "one, uno",
etc. So in this case he means that socialism is shit.

Networking problem

My ISP: Road Runner Central Florida (cable)

I had been able to connect with kernel 2.20 vanilla from woody, following

was slow.

After compiling and installing kernel 2.4.18, that dind't work any more.

Help needed with network and apache

2003-04-03 Thread Antonio Rodriguez
I am having problems to access my apache server from the outside world. From
within the LAN (behind a router) all works fine; (the problem is not the
router!, I disconnected the router and connected the machine directly out to
conduct the tests) I suspect that it has to do with my network
configuration, plus may be some other apache configuration problem.
I have a testing machine, kernel 2.4.18
I will include some facts that I hope will help someone help me fix this:

1. Mail received from anacron:

/etc/cron.daily/leafnode:

Leafnode must have a fully-qualified and globally unique domain name,
not just "debian".
Edit your /etc/hosts file to add a unique, fully qualified domain name.
"localhost.localdomain" or thereabouts will not work;
it's qualified, but not unique.
Please see the README-FQDN file for details.
/etc/cron.daily/leafnode: line 18: 13266 Aborted su news
-c "/usr/sbin/texpire" >/dev/null

2. /etc/hosts

debian:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1  debian  localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

3. Message captured while booting:

Starting webserver: apache [Thu Apr 3 19:54:15 2003] [alert] apache: Could
not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for
ServerName

So I know that I have to fix the /etc/hosts files, I own some domain name,
that I tried to use in there but it made the things worse. I edited
/etc/hosts to
127.0.0.1 sub.mydomain.name.org localhost  # didn't work
20.45.blah.blah sub.mydomain.name  # didn't work

I figure that I need to make correspond the name of the machine (debian now)
to the name of the server in /etc/hosts, but I am not sure. The name seems
to appear in several configuration files (httpd.conf for instance), but I
will need some guidance here.
Do we have any tool that would take care of reconfiguring everything to the
required state?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated, detailed ones will be even better.
Thanks to all,
Antonio.




Re: exim4 for virtual domains

2005-01-15 Thread Antonio Rodriguez
I am also interested in this thread, but I find some parts obscure.
Would you please be more explicit in the following

> 
> * put this into /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/160_local_virtual_users
> * add a "domainlist virtual_domains =  ..." to conf.d/main/

that is, what is the syntax for '...' ? would that be
'domainlist virtual_domains =  site1.net:site2.com' ?
 
> /etc/mail/aliases/$domain contains local_part -> local_part and

and 
/etc/mail/aliases/$domain would be a directory with multiple files,
symlinks, one file in tabular form?
