DCHP Private IP Hostname Resolution

by Gary J. Hanley

Greetings, I suspect this is an easy fix but somehow I can't find it.... I just installed a Netgear RP114 DSL router and I'm letting it set my private IPs with DCHP. My problem is that I need to resolve the hostnames between the 3 Linux machines on my private lan and the router isn't doing that. When they are booted in Windows the DCHP table shows the IP and hostname of each PC, but when booted in Linux the router doesn't resolve the hostname to IP...so when I ping a hostname I get nothing. Any ideas? Thanks! -- Gary

Can you do a bash$raw -qa as root and post the output. I assume that you used the "raw" command to bind the block device for raw I/O such as bash$raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/hdc1 On another note you may also want to check the permissions on the device file(s). This would cause the open to fail!

I get "No such file or device", which I also get if I do "ls /dev/raw/raw1" I have in /dev/{raw1,raw2...} If I change the code to open /dev/raw1, the open succeeds but the reads and writes then fail. Should I be able to see this mythical device in the /proc filesystem somewhere, cause I can't seem to find it...

Just a quick suggestion; open() sets perror(). try calling perror after your open() call, it might give you (and us) some insite to why you can't open the device.

Raw IO Howto

by Skip Gaede

Folks, I'd like to be able to queue read/write request to my Zip drive and bypass the buffering that goes on in the kernel. From what I've read, you can do this by binding the raw device (/dev/raw) to /dev/hdc1 for example. When I do that, I get a message that /dev/raw/raw1 has ben bound to char major 22 1. When I try open("/dev/raw/raw1",O_RDWR|O_CREAT,S_IREAD|S_IWRITE); it fails. Can someone tell me how to do this please? Thanks, Skip

Netscape has to use something to resolve hostnames... Of course. What I meant was that dorking around with the Netscape menus is not the way to fix it. Netscape also needs a graphic display, but if someone asks: ``I am trying to get Netscape to work, but I am stuck in text mode'', I will say graphics mode has nothing to do with Netscape, you must fix the X window system. > A few notes: <cut> Good points.

Licenses are one thing, locking software to a particular machine is another issue entirely. I have no problem with people charging me money for products that are worth it (heck, I *buy* my RedHat CDs whenever possible), but I really don't like the one license/one machine model. There was some talk a while ago about making open-source licensing code, ala flexlm. Essentially there's a daemon somewhere that says "there are X licenses available", and the application can be installed in a billion different places. However, the licensing code will only allow the application to run in X places simultaneously. It's the "book licensing method" -- you can give the book to anyone you want, but it can only be used by one person at a time. It would also be possible to say "unlimited licenses", and then use the licensing system as an audit system to find out how many users are actually using the application, etc. I think the end of the discussion was that open source and this licensing type of system are contrary to each other. Personally, I think it'd be a fun thing to work on if I had the time. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: There are two types of Linux developers - those who can spell, and those who can't.
