PCI Bus inquiry HP8130 , PCI eth0 set to irq0 ...Yup Zero that is
Has anyone out thar, installed Linux onto a HP 8130, and if so, can they perhaps enlighten me as to how to tell the BIOS how to manually address a PCI network card. You will appreciate that a eth0 is a handy thing to have nowadays :-) I seem to be having some serious PnP problems with the ISA side as well with this system. The isapnp dump file looks OK with a AD sound card on IRQ5, however isapnp spits the dummy when booting up, with a cannot allocate type message message. Once i get the cards going, maybe I can use the proxy on the network to get out, as I had to pull the ISA Multitech Modem that this system was installed with, because I believe by the way it was behaving it was a Windoze only deal. (Maybe the whole puking box is?). Perhaps some good citizen from Hewlett Packard can lend some light on the subject!!. Smitty
Where to from here guys ... help next steps for newbie sprog, WINZ refugee
Hi all, I recently traded an older s Pentium machine, I have loaded and configured it as aWeb Server via the profile choiceduring installation, So far so good. I have one or two errors, like Apache not firing up. and lynx cant find my domain, my next comment may have been fielded here before.(Please forgive my dry sense of humour)!! So where are all the GUI bits to show me what is happening, this command line stuff is getting a bit tedious, when can I get computing guys, what button's do I push now, I am used to instant GUI fulfilment,you know the kind, GUI help that has an index which allows you to type a subject, and it Auto finds the related help file, I can't stand non of this ooppps I got that wrong, it will never work until I enter 500 Command line config statements.. or simpler still go back to the start and reload the lot again. OK OK, before you flame me to bits, I accept that all things new take a stiff learning curve, and I guess I went through a similar stage with the DOS, however, the above comments might get a few of you to respond, with just what do I do next, cause I'm dying to leave this thing running here as a caching, proxy web, server connection, and plug it in the back of a mixed Netware, NT network,!!. Well that's the plan, but as you can see if I cannot master the command line stuff it is unlikely to happen :-) Ka Kite Anau jds - NZ
Network Tangle
Hi thanks for reading this, I have just re installed the latest version on a Toshiba Laptop, with a CNET PCMCIA card in a slot, which gives me access, (Though Limited) to my Windows Network. The windows Network uses Wingate Proxy server to access the Internet. I have re installed a number of times trying to get access via the proxy to the local Australian Mirror site. ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian apt does not get through the proxy, however I can ftp directly by opening the ip address of Wingate and then doing a logon to the ftp site. I have set export ftp_proxy=ftp://192.168.0.1 however this does not seem to work. Here is the ip makeup of my local network, and the DNS host at Xtra who are my isp. Debian Laptop is 192.168.0.3 Desktop with Wingate is 192.168.0.1 Xtra's DNS service is 202.27.184.3 and .5 for secondary I set 202.27.184.3 and 5 as the Other DNS system in the network setup phase of install. I do not have a 56K modem for the laptop so ppp is not an option. The fact that I can ftp through the proxy suggests that I am some of the way there. But as you can see I am in a tangle, and cannot resolve the path for apt to use to do its thing. Anyone out there got the time and patience to help out. john D Smith
ftp via proxy server, for dselect
Hi, I have loaded debian onto a satellite 110CS for about the 4th time this weekend, But finally getting somewhere, I have a situation where the network I am plugged into has a proxy server out to the internet. Now I can actually watch in the proxy server window to see what the embryo Debian box is asking the proxy to do, and when I choose ftp access in dselect, the proxy is instructed to do a DNS search for the debian site. But it returns a no go or failure, and that is about as far or as near to getting going with Linux I can get. Anyone got a hint. jds
