Lastly, if pinging does work: Do you have samba on the freebsd machine, if you are sharing printers/hard disks, I am fairly sure you need the gateway machine to have samba running, because you need to setup samba on the gateway to collect a 'list' of all the resources on both networks, so that the machines on both side know where your resources are. This is because windows detects shared resources using a network broadcast, that is it sends a message to x.y.z.* to work out what mahines have shared resources.

If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with the --force option The other option would be to do what it says, that is, configure your 'hostname' The hostname is what you set in your /etc/rc.conf file and is set at boot time, you can also reset your hostname as superuser, using the 'hostname' command. Mysql is probably wanting your hostname to be a hostname that can be resolved to an ip address. One way to do this is to edit your /etc/hosts file and enter something like: 192.168.0.10mntkz The reason I suggest that ip address is because 192.168.*.* is reserved for people with computers who dont have a _real_ ip address and hostname.

I realise if you have more than one ide drive then having them on seperate drives is alot better. On single drive machines I usually make only one partion, what reasons are there to slice it? - jacob Jacob RhodenPhone: +61 3 8344 6102 ITS DivisionEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: buildworld problem on cyrix 166

This list at the time attributed it to a hardware issue, probably faulty memory. Try doing a make clean, to clean up everything, and try again. If the make fails at a different place each time, then its definatly a hardware problem. My solution was to try doing the make over, and over, and after about 10 tries it got all the way through. (which was frustrating because it did take over 7 hours to complete if I remember correctly) Regards, Jacob Jacob RhodenPhone: +61 3 8344 6102 ITS DivisionEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I have seen someone with a seemingly default gnome installation go to a control panel type menu and bring up an add/remove users window. (however it is possible that it could have been a pre-packaged extra for that linux distro). network connections and filesystems using a graphical environment What do you mean? Are you talking about a program to browse files, or administer your hard disk(s) partions? Both gnome and kde come with file browsers. I would reccomend that you dont use a gui utility (if one even exists) to manage your hard disk partions. But learn how to do it from the command line, because if you do have troubles with hard disk partions and allocation, you are most likely going to have to fix it from the command line. I also would like to know which POP3 mail client will you use. This is probably not a very helpful answer, in choosing between gnome and kde, kde (for me personally) won because the kde mail client is very nice! You could probably run the kde mail client under gnome...

enabling finger - why not?
Hi, I have a machine which has a number of users, and its a 'possibility' that they could do something they shouldnt. What are the reasons which I may not want finger enabled? (The machine has sendmail and httpd, so a DoS through the finger port is probably not an issue) Regards, Jacob Jacob RhodenPhone: +61 3 8344 6102 ITS DivisionEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
