If you're reffering to trojans, just say the name. Nobody's going to kick you for saying it. In fact, I see a Back Oriface installation to be as safe- if not safer- than installing PCanywhere. In terms of commandline-like control, BO is your answer. I also use VNCserver if I need access to the...

Please bear with me. It'll sound quite ...."elite" sounding but I'm sincere about it. >>>Now, I restart and BOOM.. I get dropped to a logon prompt. One that I dont mind, but I am slightly irked that X isnt working properly. I wish I had the correct error code, I believe it was an IO...

In your case, you probably want to not forward anything. If you only need http (80) traffic, go install Squid. It's a http caching server that runs on all variants of *nix. If you do want to continue using iptables, I'd suggest a program called "ipmenu". I'm not sure where you get it...

>>>There is IMHO no point in even activating it. In my opinion, you make sure everything works, the first time. Instead of shutting it off, it be better to at least go into /etc/network/interfaces and add 192.168.0.12 just for the sake of being complete. IF he ever connects to a network, all...

This coming from the same person who couldnt figure out KPPP, leave it alone. Even if you had to "upgrade the kernel", you shouldnt have to update modutils UNLESS the new kernel will not accept an older modutils query. I've been using 2.5.63 on a test box, and havent had to update...

Come now Daniel. Chances are his eth0 is using dhcp and it has to time out before passing beyond dhclient/ifup . The better thing to tell him to do is do static bind of his IP address (a 192.168.0.0/8 address). Please let Tek-Tips members know if their posts were helpful.

How about this first: Why did you NEED to update modutils? In the unix world, you dont fix things if they arent broken. Second, if it's broken with your "updated" modutils, why dont you regress back to the older one after uninstalling the "fixed" one? Please let Tek-Tips...

AP81, I try to make it a point not to respond to people that dont make an effort to look before posting their question. If he asked about Winmodems (something about a dead cat and a stick...) I'd understand. Setting up even HCF winmodems are a pain. But he didnt even ask something like that...

Look on the card for a 2.7 or 27 anything. If it does, chances are (99%) that it's a Broadcomm wireless chipset. The Broadcomm chipset WILL NOT work with Linux. A way to guarantee that is by doing lspci and looking at the output of the card. Prism cards will work. Broadcomm will NOT. Please...

Yes, and its easy to implement. Here's the steps. 1: find where rm is located on your system (/bin/rm) 2: cp /bin/rm /bin/remove 3: rm /bin/rm # ;-) 4: mkdir ~/.garbage 5: Make a shell script that moves target file(s) to ~/.garbage There's your "undo". Just move files back...

Here's the basic steps on how you make and install a kernel.I'll assume that you already know the basics of Linux. 1: Go get a stable kernel (2.4.20 is a good stable kernel) from www.kernel.org. Get the full version. It's a hefty 26 MB. 2: Now you should have linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 . Decompress...

You can make it. Just compile the kernel with SMP on. This is the point of the GPL. If they didnt enable it, you always can. If you need help with what kernel/options, just ask. I'm pretty good at it. Please let Tek-Tips members know if their posts were helpful.

The best suggestion is to simply copy the files on your computer first, then back to device 2. This isnt a limitation of Linux, or windows, or Mac, or whatever. You only have 400MBps of bandwidth on firewire. Since the client-server relationship has held on that standard, you have a computer...

>>>Okay, okay, I'll admit it I'm currently using Windows with little to no knowledge of Linux. However, I'm on the road to recovery. No problem. The more the OS'es you know, the better ;-) >>>I would like some advice on where to start. My ideal plans are to start running a Linux-based...

>I totaly disagree with AP81 (Sorry) Debian is mad easy to install ... Excuse me?! The debian installer is horrible. I went to Debian after using Slack on a desktop/server combo. Took me 3 times to figure out the blasted install procedure. Slack's menu is drop-dead simple.. well it does almost...

Have you ever heard of the "Last Mile" problem, Rory? It costs too much for high speed, low latency connections to put in nowheresville. For the longest time, modem was all I had. And I was happy with that. Please let Tek-Tips members know if their posts were helpful.

I run Debian stable here at home and I've got a GeForce4200. Here's the steps to run the card. 1: Get newest 2.4 kernel from www.kernel.org 2: Get 2 source packages (one for kernel driver, and other for GLX). 3: Make kernel, install, and configure Lilo/Grub 4: Reboot into new kernel and at...

Essentially, a WinModem is a modem with driver most likely ONLY for windows. The makers got rid of the timing hardware so that the CPU could do it. The problem is most hardware companies that make Winmodems dont give a dump about Linux. Your standard hardware modem has all the guts that...

That's probably what you'll have to do. 1: Check on nVidia's web site for the exact version of RH for the nvidia drivers. 2: If they have them, download the pack and install it using rpm. I'd check what rpm --help is to tell you the install command, but I dont use Red Hat. 3: then try...

It might help to know the name of the graphics cards you tested. If I'm correct, there's a way to start the Redhat Install by command-line instead of GUI. When you first boot the cd up, try looking for boot options And please, AP81, an older installer should work with his older hardware. Using...
