Hi,all
<p>I'm running on a test DNS server for intranet. There is something
<br>strange. When I request an URL like www.behapy.org that exists
<br>/var/named/named.zone, the name server reponses some late. When
I run
<br>nslookup www.behapy.org at Linux console, name server responses
<br>immidietly, but when I request the URL at a client browser which are
<br>both ie and mozilla, the name server responses late.
<p>And another thing, when I request non-existant url on my intranet like
<br>iii.uuuu.com, I guess the name server has to response immidietly that
<br>the URL I requested doesnot exist. But around 20 seconds later,
the
<br>name server responses the URL that I requested doesnot exists.
<p>I don't have /var/named/named.ca for intranet.

Subject: HP LaserJet 5L + Samba + Sleep Mode
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 21:54:37 GMT
Ok, heres a quick question:
I have a HP LaserJet 5L connected to a Linux server running Samba. I
have 2 other Win98 machines that I have printing to the LaserJet 5L.
The slight problem I am having is that if I send a print job to the
laserJet when it is in sleep mode, the printer stops, and all three
display lights come on. To fix this I have to unplug the printer and
then plug it back in. The printer comes back to life and then will
spit out the pages i was trying to print, only they are filled with
junk.
To fix this problem all i have to do is make sure that the 5L is
online before I send it any jobs. When I do that it prints everything
fine.
So my question is how to I get samba to wake the printer up before it
starts trying to print to it. Hopefully someone will have this answer.

I fetched new drivers for my PCI NE2000 Clone from the site mentioned
above, and after installing them everything started to work. Is this a
common problem? It worked out of the box with Redhat 5.0 and kernel
2.0.31, but didn't work with SuSE 6.1 and kernel 2.2.5. I also tried to
upgrade to kernel 2.2.7, but it didn't work with that kernel either.

Subject: Compaq Deskpro
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 22:32:11 GMT
I am trying to install Red Hat Linux, version 5.2, on a Compaq Deskpro
computer in a dual boot mode with Windows NT. This was done exactly the
way the instruction manual says to. The basic install seems to have
worked. I can enter both NT and Linux, and do simple things like edit
text. However, there are several serious problems, mostly related to the
network.
When I reboot the machine, the keyboard locks up occasionally. If I
power up and down enough times, it will eventually reboot such that the
keyboard is operational and I can log in.
The machine has a Jaz drive, with SCSI interface, and an Intel Ether
Express Pro 100 ethernet card. When the Jaz and SCSI are removed from
the system, the "ping" command is capable of seeing other machines on
the network. However, if I reinstall the SCSI and Jaz, then ping just
gives the error message:
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
I have tried moving the SCSI and ethernet cards to different slots, but
that did not change anything.
Any idea on either problem?

Yes, you can use Linux as a router. In fact you can use
PocketLinux as a router and it fits on one 3.5" floppy diskette. You
will require two (2) NICS each on a different subnet to isolate the
traffic on either side of the router. The router will then pass the
traffic across the interfaces. Depending on your situation you may also
want to use a firewall for additional security, especially if traffic on
one side of the router is originating from the Internet.

Actually, if I make it that far, I'm considering myself lucky. I'm
having trouble loading the tulip driver module. I know Mandrake has it
pre-installed, because I was able to select it from the list in
linuxconf. However, it gives me an error on bootup about not being able
to load something or other with tulip.o (invalid request maybe...) Once
I can ping my own IP I'll be happy, because at the moment I can only
ping localhost and 127.0.0.1, but not my true IP or my true hostname.
I'm also going to try to download the linksys website-provided version
of tulip.c to see if it helps any...any suggestions you have at this
point would help greatly. Thanks for the link to the faq though..it has
helped quite a bit :)

Before moving to IIS, they ran www.ms.com on 4 Sparcs. (Admittedly the
load was lighter then). I believe they transitioned initially to 100 IIS
machines. (from memory of a conversation with a guy that worked there
during this time)

>ugh.
There's a difference between price and value. If you compare a 500 MHz
PII, or Xeon with a Sun 500 MHz processor purely on MHz and price
alone, then sure the Pentium looks better. But there's more to it than
the raw MHz.
At the (relatively) small business where I work, the primary webserver
is a Sun Sparc 20 with a 60 Mhz processor and 96 Megs/RAM. It's been
there for about a year, replacing it's predecessor, a nearly identical
computer, except with a 30 Mhz processor. The previous one ran for 4
years, going nearly 24/7 during that time, hosting over 200 html
pages, including one site which gets on average 3 million hits/month.
There are also about 200 individual message boards (perl/cgi-based)
which get fairly heavy traffic, about 5 large databases with close to
a grand total of 25 thousand records between them.
The only reason the old one was replaced (with a model almost the
same) was because the motherboard finally gave out. Sure a box with a
30 MHz Intel processor would have cost less (or even one with a 60
Mhz), but I doubt it would have lasted that long, have been that
stable, or as fast (Can a 30-60 Mhz intel board even handle 96
Megs/RAM?) even if it had been running Solaris or Linux. And when it
finally did go down, we were able to get a new one from Sun the next
day.

Really depends upon what you want it for.

Not quite. In the final release, they added a flag and set if to skip the
offending code. It made it quite easy for MS, should they choose to do
so, to reinstate the subroutine with a single byte change.
Your defense is poor - if they were so concerned about dr dos supporting
it, they could simply state it in the readme docs. Instead they
deliberately made sure it wouldn't work. And then they left in the code
to be sure of it. In my view, a more gross offense than much of what's in
the current trial.
Too bad they never found a smoking gun for the lotus problems with dos.

I have recently set up a linux box running RedHat 5.1 as a router for
my new DSL connection. It is a headless box, and my only access to it
is through telnet. Generally, this works great, but I do have one
problem, concerning editing files through telnet. When I open up a file
with vi, I have no problems except that I am unable to delete anything
in the file. I can add things OK, but not delete. The delete and
backspace keys work fine at the command prompt, so I know that the
problem is not my telnet client.
Can someone help? I can be reached through email at

Your logic is even worse. You note above that the subroutine was skipped.
Did they reinstate that routine? I would have thought that a prudent
manufacturer would have to be sure they could support it. If they didn't,
that would leave them open to lawsuits in the litigious USA.
