Dear Sir,
To make the QuickCam (grayscale) work with Windows
NT machines you must install an NT driver. I'd like to know as to get this
driver.
P.S.: I didn't obtain success in the site of
Connectix.
I thank your attention.

OK. So do bridged interfaces fall within the same collision
domain?... or are they just members of the same broadcast domain?

Ok, the problem seems to be that the new version of compile_et which was
MFC'd is creating broken header files, it just happens that libfetch is
the first part of the buildworld that hits it.
According to cvs:
1.2.2.2 Tue Jul 4 15:15:12 2000 UTC by assar
Branch: RELENG_3
Diffs to 1.2.2.1
FILE
Ok, the problem seems to stem from the fact that if I do a buildworld, I
get the following:
achilles# vi /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libfetch/fetch_err.h
/* Generated from /usr/src/lib/libfetch/fetch_err.et */
#ifndef __fetch_err_h__
#define __fetch_err_h__
#include
void initialize_ftch_error_tabl
The problem seems to stem from a corrupt
/usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libfetch/fetch_err.h
If I manually delete it and make from the libfetch directory, it seems
to be created properly.
So, I have two lingering questions:
1. Did the tools used to create the file change? As far as I can tell,

I am interested in learning about the freebsd operating system, I dont have
very much exerience yet but I am motivated to learn. I have poked around
other OS but have found them unappealing to my interest, I like the concept
of free source systems like linux and have played with SUSE a little but

Title: bridging
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't bridging of two interfaces supposed to make a duplicate of the traffic from one onto another? Why is it then that on the second interface I bridge to I only see broadcast and multicast packets? I have fxp0 and fxp1 acting as a bridge, fxp0 se
