I have Slackware 7.1 running on a an AMD 133Mhz box with 32Megs RAM.
This is my webserver, shell server, Ip MASQ box, and it locks up alot.
It seems to lock up when I'm downloading on a box in my network behind
it. I am runnign Kernel 2.4.0 on an ADSL line. I have had this problem
with all kernel compiles I have done. I used to run FreeBSD,
then OpenBSD on this box with no trouble. I did not, however, have ADSL
then, so those boxes were just using a dial-up. I think IP MASQ is
lockign the box up at some point. There are no messages in
/var/log/messages, it just stops cold. My PPPOE client, when running
top, never appears to use more than 10% of my CPU. I do not think the
problem is in the pppoe client because the box does not seem to lock up
when I'm downloading on it. (as in ssh'ing in and using lynx). Does
anyone have any ideas on this?

HI everyone,
This is a friendly reminder: the next WLUG meeting will be held on Wednesday,
March 14th at 7 PM in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI in Worcester, MA. Directions can be
found on the WLUG website:
http://www.wlug.org
WLUG members Doug Waud, Stephen Daukas, and Chuck Anderson have been working
together on the presentation for this meeting (at least that's the story I've
been given). They will be discussing their experiences with home networking.
Check out the WLUG website for a more detailed description of the focus of their
talk. I expect that this will be a good meeting for someone who might not have
setup a home network but is considering it.
After the presentation, if time allows, we'll open the floor for a general
question and answer session.
At the conclusion of the meeting, a group of us will head over to the Boynton
Restaurant for some pizza and beer.
As always, the meeting and the post-meeting festivities are open to anybody who
is interested in Linux. No secret handshake is required. :-)
See ya later,
Andy

Hi all,
Because most XML books and websites force the you to recite Microsoft
incantations, I wrote an all Open Source XML programming tutorial using Linux
and Xerces-Java from Apache Software Foundation. It thoroughly covers coding
of DOM, SAX, and DTD's.

Hi,
I am having a problem setting the date/time on my Linux box.
I set it using date 030310152001 for 3/3/2001 10:15. Everyting seems fine
until I reboot the box. At that time it changes to some other time. I
checked my CMOS and the time is correct. What am I doing wrong?
thanx for your help.
Peter N.
