This is a little thin on information, so I can't give any real answer.
Can you ping your eth0 IP?
Can you ping your Cisco's internal IP?
Can you ping your Cisco's wan0-0 (external) IP?
If no, do you have RIP running on the Cisco box?
Do you have your gateway set to your Cisco's internal IP?

Aparantly RH7 switches from inetd to xinetd. I found the
/etc/xinetd.d/swat file, and changed it to the following. I think it's
right, but the machine still refuses any connection on port 901.
# default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \

Why are you stymied by this? A missing rule error either means the rule
isn't there or the file in which the rule would be found isn't
there. Which is it? You don't tell us. But it sounds like you don't
have the kernel sources installed (or haven't configured them), and
the missing rule comes from there.
Let us know when you feel like giving us sufficient info to help you.

This is the standard C++ library that goes with gcc-2.95(.2?). It also
goes under a name like "libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so", so you could try
looking for a package with a name like "libstdc++2.10" (which is what
Debian calls it.).

Hello ! I want to install Red Hat 6.2 linux on my new PC. I have a 40 Gb
drive, from which 20 Gb are used for Windows Millenium (FAT32).
I may add some partitions like (/usr or swap) without any problem. As soon
as I try to create a "/" or "/boot" partition, the systems gives the
following message"boot partition too big", wether my parameter wa 1 or 30 Gb

May anyone explain this or give a workaround ?

What type of drive and what kernel version are you using? I had
very similar difficulties with my HP-Colorado ATAPI tape drive
and kernel v2.0.36. Updating to the v2.2.x kernel series got it
working just fine.

Nonsense, that does not work at all. First, you can only activate or
deactivate services, not start them in the background.
Second, the offending ones (ppp) are not listed at all.

Subject: installation impossible HELP..
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 23:11:40 GMT
Hi,
I've got the Linux-Mandrake installation cds and when I boot from it,
installation starts but stops at the X configuration. Impossible to
configure graphics. I have an Asus V7700 GeForce2 GTS 32DDR and it's not in
the hardware list. I tried every one of the list and inpossible to go
further X configuration.
What can I do to install Linux-Mandrake if it doesn't support my hardware
and wont install itself completly. Exactly the same thing happened when I
tried to install Corel Linux that's why I changed for Mandrake, that I
thought was better but the same thing.
I can't find any documentation on this installation problem it seems
everybody takes for granted installations are 100% automatic and successful.
PLEASE HELP ME... Thank you for your time..
One thing I find strange is that DrakX is not capable of installing linux
with at least a standard SVGA driver in those cases.

Have a look in /etc/squid/squid.conf for the section
headed TAG: cache_peer and add your parent cache in there.
Remember that you have to specify 'parent' in the config so that
you forward all queries to the remove proxy server.

Use windows fdisk to premake all the partitions you want.
When you install Redhat 6.2, use linux fdisk instead of disk druid, change the
windows partition id to linux or linux swap.
The linux partition are preset up so you can disk druid easily.

I'm done slammin my head against the wall with this one.
Has anyone been able to get this card to work. I'm running Mandrake7.1.
Drivers from Linksys suck.
It's funny, the driver for my Aureal soundcard worked
perfectly (from a company going bankrupt!!).
Should work with the tulip driver, but it won't. I tried
re-compiling with tulip from Linksys, still n.g. I then started randomly
picking mods from other net cards, and I found one that would actually
initialize the card!! But I couldn't make it work.
I suspect the driver, as I downloaded firmware upgrade for my router from
linksys. It took them a few days before they realized that they had a
corrupted zip file on their FTP site. I've read some posts about how to do,
so flame me if you must.
Card works perfectly under WinDoze.

If you are sure that your are using XF86 4.0.1, you do not need xfs (the
