I want to reduce the amount of stuff in my apartment, so I have free stuff to give away: 1) Sun Sparc IPX 2) Sun monitor (16" I think ... But it's huge) 3) Full tower PC case ... No power supply 4) Compaq 286 Laptop ... It works! 5) Super Nintendo (controllers, games, etc) 6) Pentium 233 + motherboard I'll bring all of it to the meeting, if you want something email me. If lots of people want any of those items, I'll ask Andy to raffle them off. -Marc

Could someone please explain what the following messages mean. My network connection is alive but when I ping different internet addresses I am getting 100% packet loss except when I ping www.erols.com. Then I get the following: PING www.erols.com (207.172.16.156) from 192.168.1.132 : 56(84) bytes of data. >From fe12-1-0.sys-core1b.mrf.va.rcn.net (208.59.255.86): icmp_seq=1 Packet filtered >From fe12-1-0.sys-core1b.mrf.va.rcn.net (208.59.255.86) icmp_seq=1 Packet filtered >From fe12-1-0.sys-core1b.mrf.va.rcn.net (208.59.255.86) icmp_seq=4 Packet filtered >From fe12-1-0.sys-core1b.mrf.va.rcn.net (208.59.255.86) icmp_seq=5 Packet filtered Thanks, mike

Hey Guys, I just sent this out to stratus yesterday. Drop me a line if you plan on being an Installer. Thanks, Tim. --- Begin Message --- It's that time of the year again!

Linux distro bakeoff
by Andy Stewart 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

HI gang, I have volunteers who will bring in computers showing off SuSE Linux 7.x and Mandrake 8.1. Is there anybody else out there who would like to bring in a machine running something different? I'm thinking of a Slackware, Debian, Turbo Linux, etc. If you are interested, let me know. (The only reason I didn't mention Redhat is that most people run it, and most of us probably know what it looks like already). Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org
