Tnis may affect what you are attempting to do. One thing to try is to check to make sure you don't have any reject files (files ending in .rej).

Hmmmm...

It works great with my Hewlett Packard ScanJet 4c flatbed scanner. However, with the Connectix Color QuickCAM, it takes one frame and freezes for some reason. I have to kill the xcam process to get out of it. The QuickCAM is connected to the lp1 (0x378 IRQ 12) parallel port. I have tried changing the config.qcam file from 0x378 to u0x378 but that did not solve the problem. Then I tried connecting the QuickCAM to the lp0 (0x3BC IRQ 7) parallel port where I had my LaserJet II printer connected and changed the config.qcam file from 0x3BC to u0x3BC but xcam still froze. I would like to use the QuickCAM on the lp1 (0x378 IRQ 12) parallel port so I can have the LaserJet II printer connected to lp0. Do I have to modify the kernel and/or lp driver module to use IRQ 12 for lp1? Thank you again for helping me. David Smith Net-Tamer V 1.09.2 - Registered

Subject: even more Network almost (we are really close) Date: Sat, 02 May 1998 22:23:25 -0700 From: James Hartley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well I almost have it :-) I changed the IRQ on one of the hosts machines and lo and behold I can ping in both directions with no dropped packets. However: I can only telnet or rlogin in one dirrection. when I telnet or rlogin from abraham.localdomain.nevada I can log on to joseph.localdomain.nevada with the usual prompts. But when I go the other direction I get Trying 192.168.16.1.... Connected to 192.168.16.1. Escape character is '^]'. Red Hat Linux release 4.1 (Vanderbilt) Kernel 2.0.27 on an i586 I get no login prompt and eventually the connection times out. why am I getting no login prompt???? the same thing happens with rlogin. This is the last thing I need to get this bear working. I hope someone can help. Everything on the other machine going to joseph works fine. So far I have had to change IRQ's twice and pull the machines apart to disable pnp. the first IRQ change from 10 to 11 on joseph should have corrected the irq problem, because as far as I know there were no other devices using it. Changing it to 12 seems to have it partially working . This is getting to be a real fight to do something trival. Thank you all for your patience..... :-) Jimbo.
