If it is, try removing the firewall. or, rather than the firewall on the xp side, could it just be that linux (firewall) by default is not replying to "pings" / icmp echo requests from xp? -- "Thou shalt not follow the null pointer for at its end madness and chaos lie." -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

[PLUG] Microsoft ad in TOI
Has anybody read Microsoft ad in today's (27th Dec) TOI? It is asking children to go to Microsoft's homepage and check if their 'papa' has got an 'licensed' version of xp. Very very slick I wished somebody put up an advt. in tomorrows paper, same place saying something like, "My dad uses Linux, he is afree man" or words to that effect. Companies like IBM can afford this. -Devendra. = Personal blog : http://dengineer.blogspot.com/ __ Do you Yahoo!? Dress up your holiday email, Hollywood style.

Re: [PLUG] Help setting up postfix
The Problem : I 've configured postfix. I could send mails from one domain to another "but only by telneting machine x on port 25" I couldn't send a mail not even on the same machine x using the command mail -s 'test' guest@. Whats the error ? Does the mail bounce ? Also, try mail -s 'test' guest on x. --Swapnil -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Very very slick It will be funnier if the kid visits the MS homepage with Firefox/Konquerer etc on Linux... and tried to enter whatever information they ask... even if the server logs shows the http agent as FF/Konq on Linux that will be good read for MS admins... 8-P -- "Thou shalt not follow the null pointer for at its end madness and chaos lie." -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
Re: [PLUG] Microsoft ad in TOI
Hi all, We don't get ToI at our place & so I didn't know about it. But if that's what the ad says, then this is sick marketing. With all the secrecy maintained about their patches & SPs, Microsoft can readily insert a small code in any of these & simply observe whether the licence is valid or not as that machine connects to the Net. The point is, it's absolutely sick dragging children into things that the company can themselves get its hands dirtied of. And if they really can't do it without help from children, they should stop selling products & wind up their business. I have lost whatever little faith I had in Microsoft as a company & people related to it. Regards, Viraj P.S.:- I wonder whether it's legal to make & release an ad such as this.

Very very slick I haven't read the ad either and the part about "asking children to check if papa has a license" is said by the OP, so I'll wait till I get home today and see for myself how really dirty/sneaky is the ad... But like I said... if people on Linux go and visit the URL just to fill up their server logs with "Firefox" etc (and maybe fill up the forms telling them they use Linux) that will be really funny, more funny to see the expression on the face of the webmaster/admin for that URL...! -- "Thou shalt not follow the null pointer for at its end madness and chaos lie." -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
