It surely was this problem. :) Thank you very much all Linuxers for all the help with this issue. I finally got things working, although I do not completely understand how :P However, I am really glad to post to the list from the `problem-machine`, of course the problem's solved @Arun: the sources you've linked to here are great help. I am trying to catch up with the basics as much as i can. :) Thanks a ton. -- Regards km -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
