You'll need to know. What does sit at 10.10.10.10? Let's try again: 1) What are the exact iptables rules you are trying? I'd suggest trying this and only this (just for testing; once it's working you can tie up them as needed): /sbin/iptables -F /sbin/iptables -t nat -F /sbin/iptables -t mangle -F /sbin/iptables -X /sbin/iptables -t nat -X /sbin/iptables -t mangle -X /sbin/iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Now, let's test it: 2) Can you ping 10.10.10.10 from host2? 3) Can you ping 152.46.7.81 from host2? 4) Can you ping 192.168.0.3 from host2? 5) Can you ping 192.168.0.1 from host1? 6) Can you ping 20.20.20.20 from host1? 7) Can you ping 152.46.7.81 from host1? (remember these tests since it's what you need to diagnose your problem; you should try them after any change on your config).

Have you specifically noticed this with 3rd party toner cartridges, or are your comments aimed at ink cartridges? For a toner cartridge to cause problems the drum would have to be defective, which does happen, but rarely. Copy machines have had these drums for 40 years. The technology is very well understand and pretty hard to screw up given the simplicity of manufacturing one. The toner itself used by the 3rd party cartridge companies is identical to that used by laser printer OEMs and copy machine manufacturers, so that isn't an issue. I won't argue with anyone for one second that there are a lot of low quality 3rd party ink cartridges on the market. Manufacturing the nozzles correctly is much more difficult than toner drums. But that isn't the subject of this thread. The subject is toner refills. > Refilled / recycled cartridges are a different story. It depends on the > refill method, but they usually work just as well as new cartridges. As do 3rd party toner cartridges, which ARE new cartridges. Again, they're simply slightly different in design to avoid patent issues and to lower manufacturing costs. In over 20 years I've run into maybe 2 that didn't work correctly, both due to manufacturing defects, one in the cog drive (deformed teeth) and one with a bad drum, likely due to the photo resist layer not being deposited correctly. I've run into at least that many OEM cartridges defective for the same reasons. Everyone's mileage may obviously vary, but it seemed to me 3rd party toner cartridges were getting an unfair rap in this thread, especially given my experience with them, and knowing the technology (or lack thereof actually) that goes into them. They aren't difficult to make at all, and the QC process is rather straight forward. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This is what you will get when you rebut Ron's statements, proving some of his points incorrect, in a couple of threads in a row, which I did in the past couple of weeks. I was rebutting purported facts, not Ron himself. Apparently Ron didn't see it that way. He realizes he'll look foolish if rebutting fact, so he simply attempts childish behavior such as that above, taking your comments in an unrelated thread out of context, putting them into a context of his choosing, and then attempts to paint you or your position in an untruthful light.

Here in Spain, MS is reaching agreements with schools and public institutions in order to provide almost at free of cost (just a symbolic fee) their products (Windows, MS Office...). And the agreement also includes staff training and tech support on their side. Turn-key solution. All included. No FLOSS company can compete nor provide that conditions.

Not that fast :-) You may have installed packages that are "unused" but "needed" as a dependency requirement of another packages that you want to keep.

note, however, that it cannot work if you mount your relevant filesystems

That all looks good Chris, but I tried it and saw no results for "in

I have always needed to create rules working with the encoded data.

Re: Note about 6.0 installer, Nouveau, and Quadro NVS240
Thanks for the info, I ended up blacklisting nouveau for my single system. Anyone have an idea where on a debian-related wiki this useful and important info should go? I noticed debian-wiki itself is set for lenny and I'd rather not pollute it with squeeze info. I'm also more interested in a method of automating this change (at least for me, I'm preparing a system install guide for lab machines that are going to move to squeeze. I'd set up something like FAI, but I cannot for the life of me grok the documentation).
