Using Sympatico Warp ADSL w/ Debian

Hi. When I installed Debian I said yes to the configure network with DHCP question. It said it worked. I also installed via-rhine for my network card, which I found was the right module after some research. I rebooted, and expected to be online. I can't ping anywhere, except myself. Ifconfig looks

Trouble Setting Up DSL

Hello I have a DSL modem with a SMC EtherPower II Ethernet card. Before installing Debian I used the Windows 'winipcfg' utility to find out my IP address, DNS servers, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask and DHCP Server. During the install I loaded the Epic 100 module, and entered the above values in the

Can't play a wav

Can anyone help me? I recompiled a 2.0.36 Kernel to include SB 16 support. When the system boots it tells me sound init. complete, and there are no signs of errors. Here are some of the responses I get to certain commands: cat testsound.wav | /dev/audio bash: /dev/audio: permission denied (I'm ro

Printer Troubles

I was actually going to check the message archive this time, but I'm sitting here at a Netscape status bar telling me "Connect: Contacting Host www.debian.org..." endlessly. Anyway, I can't even get my printer to print a simple text file. It is a Panasonic KX-P4430. I checked the basic stuff lik

Netscape 4.51 won't start

I just installed Debian 2.1, and the installation went smoothly up until netscape. If anyone has any advice, please tell me! Here are the details: I downloaded and extracted communicator-v451.x86-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz from ftp.netscape.com. Next, I ran the ns-install script and installed it t

SVGALib and S3 Virge DX (375)

Hello again :) I am using a S3 Virge DX (375) and SVGALib. I have removed the # in front of the line "chipset s3" in /etc/vga/vgalib.config but SVGALib can't ID my s3 card, so it forces VGA. Is there any thing I can do to fix that?

Finally it (almost) works!

Well, I have magicfilter and all that configured and running properly. My printer prints correctly etc., but, while the output is readable, its very fuzzy. What can I do about this? I have a Panasonic KX-P1123, I was told to select eponsc. Below is a copy of /etc/printcap (Without the comments):

Netscape Printing

Yesterday I had questions on installing Aladdin Ghostscript 5.50. Bob Nielsen answered my questions, but I'm not even sure if I'm heading in the right direction. I have a Panasonic KX-P1123, its old and crappy but that's what I have. All I want to do is be able to print in Netscape. When I try, fo

Aladdin 5.50

This is a re-post, my earlier post didn't seem to, well, post. I apoligize if it did. I have been trying to get my dot-matrix Panasonic KX-P1123 printer to work all night. After re-compiling the Kernel again, my printer prints regular ASCII text fine. Through Netscape, I just get a bunch of garba

I have been trying to get my dot-matrix Panasonic KX-P1123 printer to work all night. After re-compiling the Kernel again, my printer prints regular ASCII text fine. Through Netscape, I just get a bunch of garbage. (Well, real words but they don't make sense). After reading numerous HOW-TO's I di

Kernel Won't Recompile

I am trying to compile the Linux Kernel 2.0.36 (Or is it 2.0.37?) Anyway after doing a 'make config', then a 'make zImage', I get the error listed below. Also a similar error after trying 'make bzImage'. I might be the same, but I'm not sure. /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage does not appear af

Hi, I'm kind of a newbie at this but here goes... I found out to use sound I would have to recompile the Linux kernel. After getting make, I did a "make config" and then a "make zImage" as described in the README file which came with the source. At the end of the output screen of make zImage, I g
