I have a friend with a bandwidth sharing problem. There are two linux
boxes (one Debian Sarge, one SuSE 9.3) attached to an old Linksys 10/100
wired router on cable internet (3Mbps confirmed download speed). When the
Debian box is downloading a large file, it hogs all the bandwidth, and the
SuSE box is very slow on the internet.
Is there an easy way to limit download speed on one or both boxes to make
them share nicely? I looked through the manual for the router, and I don't
see a way to do it there. If there's not an easy way to do it, I'd still
like to hear the difficult way to do it.
Thanks,
Greg
Hi all,
I'm only writing to ask whether or not there will be a meeting held on
the 3rd and if we have a topic. Thanks.

Hey Everybody,
I've got a pie in the sky question. My parental duties now proclude me from
attending the Wednesday night WLUG meetings.
Since we hold the meetings in the "Media room" is there any chance we could
make them available live and/or a podcast?
Thanks,
Tim.

I am leary of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their
constituents as "consumers".
I got ahold of the knoppix 5 dvd and there was talk about people wanting it at the last
meeting....
if anyone wants a copy, let me know and I'll burn one for you.
>From what i can see, it is a bootable dvd, but still in German, not english, but I did not explore
to much into it.
thanks
mike

HI gang,
In my town, I've noticed that other town employees with whom I send
email are unable to send return email to me. This started happening
about a month ago. My ISP is Comcast.
This description was sent to me by a town employee:
o In an attempt to limit the amount of SPAM on the Comcast
Internet system, Comcast does not allow external email
servers to send mail to Comcast email accounts where the
sending email server's MX records do not match.
o Because the TOWN mail server is behind our firewall
our incoming mail IP address is different from our sending
mail IP address. In other words our MX records do not match
consequently Comcast blocks our mail from being sent to
Comcast email addresses.
Basic questions:
- - What is an MX record?
- - Is it normal for the mail server to be behind the firewall? I thought
perhaps it would be either exposed to the net or on the DMZ.
I am wondering if there is some misconfiguration or perhaps a different
configuration that could be used to alleviate this problem. I have no
expertise running a mail server and thought somebody on this list might
be able to help.
Thanks!
Andy

At the last meeting someone mentioned some kind of fallout between Ubuntu
and Kubuntu. I missed most the details and was wondering if anyone had a
link to an article that explains this. I have been searching, but Google
isn't playing nice today.
Thanks,
Mike

HI Everybody,
I'm looking for a handheld device which can synchronize with Linux and
with Outlook (for work). I'd like the synchronization to be wireless.
I don't much care if it is a smartphone or a PDA - the calendar
application is the most important for my needs.
Devices that seem to come close are BlackBerry and Palm Treo. I'm still
researching this topic, so there may be others.
Do you use such a device?
Thanks!
Andy

I have taken RH and other week long certification programs and am certified in many things.
however, the classes themselves are pretty weak, usually only covering RH and only what's in the
RH book, superficially at best.
I have read tons of materials on linux and continually do so all the time.
But does anyone know of a good linux course out there anywhere, outside of the training mills like
New Horizons, or even RH?
College level course's seem to be the best choice so far, but I have not found one yet, nor do I
want to spend the time if it is not a mature syllabus.
I have been "on" linux for 3 years now, and I am beyond the basic's but not quite into kernel
development yet, so a somewhere in between class is what I am hoping for.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
