Whatever happened to the mailouts?

It's been a while and I haven't heard anything about the mailouts.
Does anyone know what happened to them? There were suggestions that we
charge a small fee, say the price of postage, or that we start an
online shop where people can pay by PayPal and have someone mail it to
them. I'd be happy to set up such an online shop, I have basic
experience with web development and PayPal integration, but I haven't
heard about the matter recently. Also, did anyone ever apply for the
Linux Australia grant?

Re install SpeedTouch 530 modem

Re: Re install SpeedTouch 530 modem

You should be able to use the Easy Setup to configure the modem
connect automatically.
Because it is a lan thing, you should not need a driver as Ubuntu will
recognise as just another host (I think).

The only problem I can think of is that your modem wasn't on when
Ubuntu booted, and so Ubuntu did not automatically request an IP
address. Try rebooting with your modem on, or try pinging
203.16.214.17 (Internode, an australian ISP and consequently the first
IP address I could think of) to check that you can in fact connect to
the internet, just not access web addresses.

I would think the modem should be setup to hand out an address to your
network card via DHCP by default. Does it not work with the network
settings set to DHCP? If you have setup the modem in Windows with the
Bigpond CD then it should be ready to go in Linux.

If not then you should only need to set a network address for your card,
setup the Bigpond DNS server addresses.

I have a SpeedStrem 4200 through Bigpond. The network address of the
modem is 10.0.0.138.

My Computer Settings In Ubuntu
Network card is setup to 10.0.0.1. (the computer)
Hostmask is 255.255.255.0
Gateway address is 10.0.0.138 (the modem)

The Bigpond DNS servers are:
144.140.70.30
144.140.71.16

If you are still having trouble you might want to check the network is
actually working. I have had issues with Ubuntu saying the network is up
but it actually isnt and needs a small tweak to get things going.
Open a terminal/shell/command line prompt and try pinging the modem ie
'ping 10.0.0.138'. (Hopefully yours is setup to 10.0.0.138).

Hope this helps.

Re: install SpeedTouch 530 modem

The address of my modem is 192.168.1.1, if you follow the suggestion to
ping the modem, that might be the correct address.

Also, go to System > Administration > Networking. Click on the Ethernet
connection entry and then click the Properties button. If the popup menu
in the new window says "Static IP", change it to "DHCP". (make sure you
have the modem on at this point).

COMPAQ iPAQ 'PocketPC'

Hi, can a Compaq iPAQ be accessed via Linux and kept synchronized with 
Kontact?

If so what would need to be installed?

Regards Neil.

Re: COMPAQ iPAQ 'PocketPC'

need help

Is this where I can ask for help with trying to install programs ie
 Real player 10 GOLD.bin
If not could you direct me to someone who could assist. I am new at
Ubuntu, linux etc and not that good with computers anyway so I need some
ongoing help with various, probably basic things to many.
 thank you David

Re: need help

Hi David,

There a some good instructions on the Ubuntu wiki:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealplayerInstallationMethods

Also, I found the Ubuntu wiki and ubuntuforums to be very valuable when 
I first started using Ubuntu, if you ever have a problem the solution 
can usually be found by searching one of these two resources:

http://www.ubuntuforums.org
https://wiki.ubuntu.com

Have fun,

Shane Handley
