I have a good internet connection, and I use a tool called AIM, many of you might haveheard of it, now when ever i go away for over 10 minutes and come back, or jsut idle i get messages in the instant message box that it kept signing me back on and off, over 100 times liek every 10 minutes. Does any one know why it does that?

this world is sick and twisted. Im very upset by this.

I have knoppix but not that version...
I use guarddog firewall...and Mepis as well as Knoppix

Preconfigured and no problems.
No one I know uses antivirus, anti spyware ao anti adware in linux... yet...

Mozilla Firefox takes care of most of the problems or pop-ups...
Mozilla Thunderbird will take care of you Pop3 E-mail

Just for a quick test go to grc.com and click on shields-up and you will get a free port scan to see how secure you are at the moment and what ports are open, closed or do not respond.

thank you for the feed back.

Also i did shut off, and mute everything with no luck.

I have a ensoniq, or something like that. Its very old. But works fine with knoppix, g2, etc. As soon as the KDE loads it pref's etc. The sound care jsut rips wild, Producing a static in the speakers' How can i fix this.

Redhat 9 has some options which you can pass to the kernel at the Boot: prompt to work around certain problems or incompatibilities. You can read about them here:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/ch-bootopts.html

Try the "noathlon" option first; it's been known to clear up boot-up hangs on Athlon systems.

I will in turn print out that chart. Thank you for your help. (=

Have you had any version of Linux running correctly on this system before? Give us the system's full specs.

Yes, I run Knoppix 3.7 and Ubuntu.

256 MB Mem
9 GB Free
AMD Athlon 655mhz

i might. you never know. call of duty has been ruling my life. I just finished up some of my history home work, now ill hit the english. I got taking back sunday blaring, lol. And im downloading Ubuntu, to try it along side you. To help you and my self at the same time. Also aim for a 3 partiton linux install.
a 32 meg /boot partition
a 512mb-1 gig /linux-swap (lol huge)
rest of free with /root thats my set up! RUNS great with knoppix, etc. Red hat doesnt run for me thought.

use qtparted, there are ISO images for this program to boot yoru PC with, also knoppix live has it built in. Good luck. to run it us this command with out quotes "run_qtparted"

I start up red hat after a fresh install, heres the last threee lines before it produces no more out put.
kjournalstarting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted file system with ordered data mode
Freeing ununsed kernal memory: 128k feeded

then it sits there for a while with nothing else. On my friends PC it gets right to the command prompt $, well if youc an help please!

thank you, cause i have no clue is linux is open to spyware either.. i need to look in to this.. What Anti Virii do you use, and what spyware etc do you use?

ok, as you might now after reading this im new to linux. Now im on knpiix i ran a sudo knppix-installer and made it the promary OS on my PC, no more Windows.. any way, im a paranoid kid. How come knoppix doenst come with a firewall any one know? I want to install one but atm im reading up on how to do all of that. Any one know if knoppix has a firewall pre installed or do i need to installiptables or any othe firewall you recommend. Or couid I use WINE and run a windows firewall on here? I do have a router but i feel its not enough. TYIA. Sphyenx.

all i said was i understand how to set it up, but i do not have a domain address as it ask's. I never said i knew the entire anwser. I cant say im much of a troll,. but hey thats cool. I dont know my NIC it came with the computer. I did not build it. Its a regular like every one else's it seems, it works perffect with most distro's so its not somethingnew. Sorry...
may i ask about this part though?
"This isn't IRC so forget the l33t h4x0r stuff. Contrary to popular belief, it makes you look like an uneducated moron."

were in the entire F***** post did i speak one word of that ignorance. Maybe im no LINUX master liek your self, technology is a new love of mine, so i learn as i do, Im a very busy person and i try to contribute as much time possible to this board by helping out etc. One simple question gets me put down like this.. how pathetic. Can any one give me a hand with my issue, ive read the slack ware guide, see my ehternet connection is on a DHCP it was ment to auto configure, but for som,e reason it wont pick up. Maybe ill just stick with debian, sorry. Thank you again, sphyenx.

hehe, yes. The power's of two travel in 8 bits to a byte, in a bus. lol. Google up more on it if you really need help. Im not a computer science professional, but i got some of the basic's down. Lets count Base 2!

Well you can always install only show the signature once per page, that will decrease the crowding, and possibly add a script to check [img] tags for the image etc and if its too large return an error stating the allowed size;)

lol, things are getting complicated (= Good idea.

DHCP uses the MAC address for leases, NOT a domain. It can also be configured to use hostnames to assign the IP leases, such as MCHSI, but in situations like those, if the MAC address doesn't match the lease, you get a new IP, or you get nothing (depending on their TOS.)

I know this, thats why i was getting frustrated.

Since you're already behind a NetGear router, the NetGear is receiving a DHCP lease from your provider - not your Linux box. Your router is assigning your local LAN IP addresses, regardless of what hostname.domain the box is configured for.

Yup

I have OptOnline cable, using a FreeBSD firewall/router, which is also a DHCP/DNS server for one of my internal subnets. I can plug ANY machine into that subnet, turn it on, configure it to use DHCP, and it'll get an address, regardless of what the hostname or domain that box is already configured for.

With free BSD it just got me on quick and easy.

the thing is how would it pick up my DHCP, with out a domain.. its rediculous cause i cant skip that one prompt. its a standard PCI eth card. No other distros ahd problems with it.. Slack is not working right with audio either. umm.

Ok well obviously your data is gone, but here try this. Take out the harddrive, and turn on the computer. hey look nothing happened. Then put the Hard drive back in.. It shoudl reconfigure. Ive never had this problem but its jsut a guess cause that works with many other componment, but may not work with a HD, so try this, try to use fdisk and re-partition the HD. Maybe then it will find it. If not please tell me what it says when you cant partition.

wait you building from scratch and your installing XP correct? because when ever you install a new mobo, you need to reinstall XP, but you might get by with a simple upgrade install. Give it a try. If XP continues to not work, stick with 2000, i find it much better. Im a home user of both, I run advanced server, and XP. Im doing great with 2000, also if your willing to give your self a challenge download or order a nice linux distro. I did, thats what im currently working on.

My motivation is to be a part of the community trying to learn something new. I am from the embedded world, knowing not so much about OOP, www, scripts e.t.c.

heres a start ted, http://www.w3schools.com/site/site_www.asp
much luck! (=. Any Q's im here.

Ill explain the problem a little more to help. Ok when i reun the set up and install stackware 10.0 it asks to configure the OS, and the set up. Now for network it asked for the slot it is located in. PCE, COM etc. I had no clue, then I boot up. I run netconfig and it asks for a domain. I dont have a domain. How else would i run the DHCP? I know how to set up config's with suse, linspire, knoppix, but for some reason this one has me stumped, and your not babbling. lol (=.

ok, when you configure the sound disable mic and line in.. and everyhting apart from standard? also if you're using a dial up modem it may be causing it

I do not use Dial up, and the volumes for all settings in alsamixer are at 0, when i move the mixer volume up and down in terminal, the static reduces as i move up and down then goes back to full blast. I do not have a mic installed either. The only sound related thing is my stereo so i can hear.

Ok i boor my PC with the slackware boot floppy, log in as root, and i get an prompt that says my alsomixer may be.. umm not good, and then i startx, and then static comes in over the speaker's. But when i log out of X it goes i away, i tried to configure my volumed etc, no luck. Any idea's Please?thank's

Care to recant?

ok, run netconfig, now mt DHCP, doesnt require a host name from out knowledge. Our home jsut plugs in a modem and were good to go, our ISP is charter though, netconfig requires a host name and domain name. Any idea's.

"Actually, you use a Network Interface Card (NIC), not a modem, unless you mean a cable modem connected to a NetGear router, which your machine connects to via a NIC."

i said it was connected to my NIC, i was just saying it wasent wireless in other term's.

sorry about my comment and thank you sir. i owe you one.

ok, i wasnet cross posting i was anwsering your question. Thank you.

thank you, i use KDE, and have DHCP, and i know all that lil stuff. thanks man, any more to say im here.

also im having network problems, i made another post about it, it doesent outa select my PCI card. (ethernet NIC). The control panel doesnt really have an option in network's.

Hi. I'm new here and I need help. We have an IBM computer. Because of some problems we were having my husband put windows millennium on the computer. Unfortunately, it made our problems worse. Nothing will work right and we can't uninstall because we can't find it. We want o delete all files and put windows 98 back on. We have done this in the past and were ablt to go to run and type in format c:. Now it won't let us do that. We are not really familiar with fdisk, but tried that and still no luck. Can anyone help? We could always just get a new hard drive if we need to. Thanks for any help.

can you view my computer? if so have a floopy at hand and format at a boot disk. Dos will load up if you leave the floppy in on a reboot. Then do format C: that should do the job. You dont need to do fdisk for that. Partitioning is uneccesary unless you change operating systems FULLY, like to *nix. If you msut use fdisk i can send you a txt on the entire read me. Id post it but its not mine, I dotn want to break copyright.

run scan's. Spyware, etc. Also run and post a hijack this log. you may have an infection.

thats pretty cool, are there written documents on how you can do that? or is it in the web dev. script (html, javascript etc.)

qt_parted is a program you can download the iso for and burn to a disk as an image and boot it up. type when you get the # prompt .run_qtparted then It will ask you for your key map, type 41. The english, and thens elect your mouse. If you dont know which one it is select autodetect.

reformat the disk using QT parted, or fdisk. If its only your second HD. format your /dev/hdb1 to dos. Or better yer in the windows GUI, open up my computer and if its already formatted for DOS, then right click and reformat it there.

before you do aything back up all your files and take notes on things you have and may want to replace, incase you get frustrated and forget. Im also sure you can get away with a repair. I did in windows 2000 etc. If worst comes to worse just reinstall. Or go linux, Redhat has RPM similar to Windows. Good luck!.

post a hijack log in that section of the forum, also you can right click it and see where it is found in your pc by viewing its properties. Then go in and manually delete it. Also run weekly spyware scan's if not more. Also adware and many of the other malicious file scan's. Also maintain a well kep virus scanner, and updates etc.

reset it and replay the installation steps. Then log in your 192.168.0.1 and configure your information. Then go boot up he wireless PC, and install drivers etc if you have to and set it up with the exact info you used on the main. To reset the router there is a little pin hole in the back, bust out a paper clip and stick in there. Hold it in for roughly 20 seconds works for me. But to be safe go about a minute. (do that first). ~sphyenx

ipartitoned my hdb3 with qt_parted. made three partitons
hdb1 boot @ 32meg's
hdb2 swap @ 512 megs
hdb3 main roo @ rest of disk. Now how to i know it its reading the swap? Cause everythings installed now.

Ok i boot up slackware, now it doesnt seem to have an DHCP program to locate all my config etc. Maybe it does and im unsure. Im dual booting linux (slack 10) i put the set up disk in to configure the connection etc. I run of a modem connected to a netgear to my PC. Now when it says pick device theres a list of devices (claiming to be PCI names. Now i dont know what the numbers represent. Im figuring that each one names the order they are in. Now how can i figure which ones which, so i can have it find my ethernet card.) If there is another way to do all this please inform me if you have the time. I googles around, and i searched this database. Im not finding much on the topic.

right click.. prop's then look under Web tab. there will be one for back ground as active desktop.

Joke?

OK.

- There are little tiny men inside the computer who pick up the numbers and carry them around.

- Some of those tiny men know how to do 1-bit math.

- When the little men get hungry, they go to the power supply to eat.

- How does Windows work? In my opinion, it doesn't. It just messes everything up.

- If your hard disk crashes, all the little men fall down and get hurt.

:D

too cute, lol. lol heres how math applys, lol you know how memory applys it self in 32, 64, 128, 256 etc.. well its because memory carrys in powers of 2 sarting at 2 to the power of 2 all the way to 1024 and beyond!

mix it up.. books and tutorials. You can get multiple opinions and you can think more openly on thing's. Im more in to web design then programming.

did you take all necessary precautions when opening your PC, like touching metal etc.

( i think you might have fried something ) but im not 100% sure so please wait for my opinion to be backed.

well MS has its supporters and its hater's. Im neither. Im proud the Mr. Gates has come far.. I would love to be him.. But if i were id talk to my developer's and my staff that the software released should be more secure.. also a bit cheaper considering its sold in soem bulk, also if they cared about user's these problems would never exist.. also to every one who complains... if these problems didnt exist, many of you wouldnt have jobs now would you?

i have to agree mr. thong, lol. I love KDE. It has the best feeling, its built in to the new Knoppix 3.7 live distro too, i recommend it, I tested it on 8 computer's. All old and new.. old being 7-8 years.. new being 1-2 years. Works great on them all. Also there was no set up on any of the networks needed. Just i cant promise wireless accessablility.

Well in windows 2000 you can right click the folder's and make them share able, or set up a network neighbor hood but when you want to log in to the other pc, go to Network neighbor hood, and select computers near me, click it and it prompts for a pass (make sure that PC is on). Im sure its the same for windows 9x, and xp.

Hi everybody, I need your help, please.
about two years ago I was able to make my home network work with no problems, 2 or 3 computers were able to connect to internet through a router at the same time with no problems at all.

For the last two months, I am not able to connect my two computers, as soon as the second one connects to internet the other one disconnects.

I connect the modem cable to uplink port then pcs or laptops to lan ports
I also was able to connect my computers through a hub with no problems, then I got the router, been using either one and no problems, but now with both of them got the same connectivity problem.
This is what I have

Internet cable, my provider allows only one ip
puredata rt104 router, 1 wan port, 1 uplink port and 4 lan ports
one pc with win 2000 pro
one pc with winme
one laptop with win xp pro
one laptop with win98 second edition

I have checked all cables and found no problems.
No matter wich computers I connect to the router, I always have the same problem, as soon as the other one connects, the other disconnects.

I have tried a couple of things but not luck yet, such releasing renewing ip...there is a reset button in my router but I haven´t reset it yet, will it help?

…

you can configure your take bar etc, byt right clicking the task bar, and clicking properties. Also go to user accoutns and delete or disable your pass word.

most XP pcs come configured to boot from the HD first. YOU need to set system bios too boot from the Disk Drive first. Then try to reboot with disk. Its a malware problem i think were a file makes your back ground an active desktop and links a black image to your back ground and you cant do anything. Did you regularly run spyware checks etc?

convert to linus and use KDE's Konqueror Web browser.
Its much more user friendly and attractive. Actually everything about KDE is..
