Re: [Wlug] router/printing problems

by Christoph

How are the networks configured? subnet mask, broadcast, routes, etc... what devices deliver dhcp, and what clients use it? How are the routers configured? Route/Bridge? My hunch... you need a static route for 192.168.2.x on the Linux box since it's default route probably points towards the internet. Or, put the static route on the main (other) router. That probably makes more sense... Just guessing though. -cfd On Sun, 2006-08-20 at 22:48 -0400, Bill Mills-Curran wrote: > On Sun, Aug 20, 2006 at 10:41:17PM -0400, Bill Mills-Curran wrote: > > Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2006 22:41:17 -0400 > > From: Bill Mills-Curran <bill(a)mills-curran.net> > > To: Worcester Linux Users Group <wlug(a)wlug.org>, BLU Discuss <discuss(a)blu.org> > > Cc: > > Subject: router/printing problems > > Precedence: list > > > > I have a home network with 2 routers. > > > > My 192.168.2.x network has a couple of windows boxes (some wireless) > > behind a linkSys router.

router/printing problems

by Bill Mills-Curran

I have a home network with 2 routers. My 192.168.2.x network has a couple of windows boxes (some wireless) behind a linkSys router. This network feeds to my 192.168.1.x network which connects to the internet through a second router. My linux box (samba print server) is on the 192.168.1.x network and has a static IP. I just moved to this setup when I got Verizon FIOS. (Their wireless router has poor range.) Problem. Since moving, I can't print to the samba-served printer from the windows boxes. I have modified samba to accept connections from the 192.168.2.x machines. Here's my samba log for the machine that tries to print.

Re: [Wlug] DNS and PPP

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI everybody, Upon further investigation, it appears that the dns server is not replying when the palmtx makes its dns request. The dns server does reply to everybody else on my network. I'll have to look at the dnsmasq configuration to see why that might be happening. I turned on logging for dnsmasq, and it definitely receives the query, and it receives a reply from the upstream dns server, but it doesn't send a reply to the palmtx. I turned off the firewalling to see if it was eating the dns reply, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Why is this good? Because *anything* you can think of that you'd like to access as a filesystem, you can, without writing a kernel driver. http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems It works via the fuse module, /dev/fuse, and some (transparent) helper programs. > What good is FUSE to me?

Lets say you have ssh access to another machine, you need to have FUSE support on your local kernel, then its just a matter of, mkdir ~/ssh/otherhost sshfs -o idmap=user me@otherhost:/ ~/ssh/otherhost ls ~/ssh/otherhost It sets up an sftp (ssh ftp protocol) session in the background, and I can now access whatever files I would have access to via ssh/sftp, right on my local system.

FUSE = FileSystems in user space (you knew that....) An example: I use sshfs (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html) to mount a file system which I can access via ssh but cannot mount it via NFS (because the file system is behind a firewall). I can mount it as a mere user (not root). Traditionally, all file system mounts had to be done as root (relaxed later for removeable media such as floppies, CD/DVD, USB memory, etc). In the case of NTFS, I'm not sure I see an advantage either way. Perhaps FUSE is just another way to access data stored on an NTFS partition. I'm not certain, but I think the "big deal" about FUSE is that the user can do it without requiring root.

FUSE??

by ken jones

Would somebody please explain to me what exactly FUSE does? I succeeded in using fusexmp to mount my root directory into /tmp/fuse2.5.3/example. I also succeeded in unmounting with fusermount -u. I do not understand why I should want to. This all started when I upgraded the kernel and the type ntfs file system on the other half of my dual mounted system refused to "mount". I got distracted into FUSE then remembered to install the matching kernel-module-ntfs below. Now I am again successfully using 'smbmount' to mount ntfs file types. I am running Fedora 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 with kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4-2.1.27-0.rr.10.4.i686.rpm What good is FUSE to me? I've Googled till the cows come home, but I do not understand the responses. Ken Jones

I would pick the models with the built-in Intel Accel 950 chip or equivalent. There are open source 3D video accelerated drivers for those. You might need a little open source utility to set the VESA BIOS video resolution table for WXGA, though. I recently worked on one and had to get a program called "855resolution" or "915resolution", which runs at bootup. Xorg worked fine at 1400x1050 after that. http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/

I've been using my girlfriend's new light-n-mobile-style laptop off and on, with a widescreen LCD with a native resolution of 1280x800. I haven't found it to be any different than my 1280x1024 or higher desktops' LCDs other than having slightly shorter web browser windows.

Re: [Wlug] Laptop recommendations anyone?

Wide screens are nice when you are doing IDEs or Visual Modleing tools. Usually, on the left or right hand side, there is an explorer pane that is used to display different kinds of hierarchies or tables. The extra width allows you to have the explorer and a decent sized diagram on the screen at the same time. -David ========== Robert L Krawitz wrote: > Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2006 09:26:17 -0400 > From: Andy Stewart <andystewart(a)comcast.net> > > I've noticed many people at work with their laptops, and they seem > to have an LCD which has wide screen dimensions.
