ftping through a router

1999-06-27 Thread Robert Rati
I setup a router for a home network, and everything seems to work fine but one thing. I can't use ftp. I can connection to sites outside my network via ftp, but I can't do the ls command. Usually, when you do a lsc, you get something back like: 200 Port Command or something like that, but

Just comment out the route add -net line from your /etc/init.d/network file. It is no longer needed because in the 2.2.x kernels, that is taken care of in a different place. Rob On Sun, 27 Jun 1999, Ralf Comtesse wrote: Hello,

I'm setting up a network at home and have gotten the router setup and given the IP addresses to their machines, but my debian box won't talk to the network. Oddly enough, the windows box will, so I know the router is setup correctly. In order to do that though, I had to change the frame type

Rescue disk changes from 2.0 to 2.1

Why does the 2.1 rescue disk not allow you to install to a esdi drive when the 2.0 rescue disk does? At boot time, the kernel on the 2.1 rescue disk sees the drives, so the kernel is basically the same as the 2.0 kernel, but there are no devices for esdi drives (eda, edb, etc) in /dev once the

Try reading the install documentation. It tells you all you need to know about installing the base system. From there, you download packages.gz files that have lists of packages and you select which ones you want. This is all taken care of in the installation process so all you need to do is

You could try mounting the drive as a vfat drive and creating the long dir that way. I'm not sure if that will work or not (probably won't if the drive is formated by DOS) but it's worth a try. Rob On Tue, 8 Jun 1999 [EMAIL

Re: OT: dual processor question

Yes this is true, to some extent. YOu have to have two processors with the same stepping and revision in order to dual-proc them. I have heard though, that you can have two processors of different stepping and revision numbers and still multi-proc them, but your performance may suffer a little.

Well, probably the easiest way is to check with the manufacturer. How old is the card? You can try doing a pnpdumpo and see if your card is detected. If not, it's probably not PNP. Another way to tell is to try doing a modprobe, but that would involve you compiling a kernel probably. I'm going
