Re: DHCP client setup for @Home

Yeah, there's that, but from all the inquiring I have done, that address is pretty much unchanging. The problem I've found with @home, at least in Eugene, OR, is that they use alot of mystique to describe what they do, like it's magic or something, when all they really do is pass packets and ru

VMWare troubles

I'm trying to get vmware 2.0.2 build 621 running on my Woody system and I've been unsuccessful so far. vmware-config compiles the vmmon, vmnet and vmppuser modules just fine and lsmod says they're loaded, but when I try to power on a virtual machine my system hangs. I've done this with kernels 2.2.

where did moncontrol go?

Programs using moncontrol() that compiled on slink no longer link on potato. Any idea what library that function lives in? Is there an alternative? Is there no way to search for this information on the Debian site? (moncontrol is used to turn on and off the gathering of statistics during progra

Hi,    Run gpmconfig ( or it was gpmconf, someone? ), and accept all the defaults     BUT the repeat protocol should be none.       This should fix it without sacrificing the gpm       Worked for me, hope it works for you. :)       And by the way, please don't send html mail or rtf

Re: DHCP client setup for @Home

Read Sven's message below again - dhcpcd - this is not server software. This is what I use for my cable modem connection. It worked for me before I even had a clue what I was doing! It automatically is assigned the DNS servers, etc, so all you need to do is turn it on and it works (even easier than

dhcp to static ip

Hey guys, I just talked my cable company into going from a dhcp connection (dynamic ip) to a static IP. Since I've always used dhcp before I'm not quite sure what to do. Is there a quick how-to that will say, put your ip, gateway, blah blah into this file, do this with resolf.conf? I'm itching
