[techtalk] help for a newbie
Hi all. I have been reading this list for about a month, and finally got the nerve to try to install RedHat 6.1. So far so good, except, I can't get my NIC card to work. It is a Lynksys LNE100tx. I found the tulip module, it seems to be in the right place (per what I have read on the net). I did the alias line in /etc/conf.modules. Now it sees the card on boot, but fails to initialize it. Looking at dmesg I get the following: Unknown Tulip-style PCI ethernet chip type 11ad c115 detected: not configured. I figure I am missing something very easy here, but can't see the forest for the trees. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated!! And if you tell me the card is crap, to go buy one natively supported, I will understand, that is what I had when I built the box, but one friend has already told me to do just that. mc "A child of five would understand this.

Re: [techtalk] Need a good backup/disaster recovery software program
We have been evaluating Arkeia (www.arkeia.com). Has both a gui and CL interface, has clients for a bunch of different OS's, and they will help you see if your tape library will work. Not free, but works OK.

Re: [techtalk] Re: Computer Books
I have to disagree on the home network part. Sharing resources at home, especially when more than one person wants the internet connection is becoming "the thing to do." The list of how to's available on the web is way to long to mention here, but I have about 30 bookmarks I have found. Shoot, my ISP (WorldNet) even has an internal help newsgroup devoted to helping folks set up a home network. I have seen people who can't even find the start button on a Windoze machine get two computers connected and sharing a dial up connection. I would like to see some security books at the library. Now that is something more people need to read up on. mc - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 26, 2000 6:26 AM Subject: [techtalk] Re: Computer Books > > Thanks(: I'll keep all of your ideas in mind, although I do think that I'll > shy away from Uber-technical books because I'm sure that anyone who would > REALLY be interested in reading them will already be able to buy them.

Re: [techtalk] (dumb) Solaris Q
Did you check the nsswitch.conf file to make sure DNS is listed for name resolution? That one always gets me on Sol7-intel. Also, I think you might have to reboot for it to be re-read, at least, again, on 7 you do. Also, try putting another line in /etc/hosts and see if it will use that, just to make sure the network card is working. mc ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

> > I don't think this is the case. I just tried it with 8 and all I did was edit the file, didn't even restart any daemons. I don't have a 7 box to play with, but I'm pretty sure it's the same. in fact, I'm quite sure the change is immediate...anyone have a play box to confim with? > You probably don't have to reboot, it has been awhile since I set up Solaris-Intel. If I can move some hardware, I may get my 7 box up and running again and check, but it probably won't be tonight :) mc ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
Re: [techtalk] (dumb) Solaris Q
I seem to remember it was the nsswitch that caused me all the problems and made me reboot. Then again, the first time I set up a Solaris intel box, I rebooted, reinstalled, and just made a mess of things more than once :) mc - Original Message - From: "Nicole Zimmerman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I know in linux the change is immediate (at least with your resolv.conf), > I don't see why in Solaris it would be different.
