No, but go here:

All I have to say is, in a Bart Simpson voice,

		"I didn't do it."

Hehehe.

Substitute "XYZ Pty. Ltd." with said ISP.

Re: IP configuration for Megalink wireless connection.

	Ok, the Megalink is a little simpler.

	They have supplied a network connection to my computer.

	All I have to do is to setup my network card to be a certain IP address 
& Gateway (similar to how you would setup your hame based network)

ifconfig eth1 <ip> netmask 255.255.255.254
route add default gw <ip-gw>

	and your online (or as they told me, but I cannot get connection, just 
curious if anyone here has a way to get "connected"

	Speaking to their Tech's, "There is no need for pppoe or dhcpcd, just 
configure your network card as a standard network interface with those 
supplied network IP addresses"

Re: IP configuration for Megalink wireless connection.

I'm way out of my depth here, but I had a similar problem using Pacific
Internet ADSL.

I know it's not wireless, but it may be the same problem.

When I start the connection on a Windows machine, it comes up
immediately and I can access web sites.

When I start it in Linux, it won't connect and I can't browse.  If I go
away for a few (varies up to 5 -10) minutes and come back I can connect.

I was getting very frustrated, but was going in as root and configuring
the network for ADSL every time I booted, then one day I got a phone
call before I could do it.  I was at the config screen and without doing
anything yet, watched as it suddenly changed from not connected to
connected!

Now I boot, go do something, then come and check it.

May be totally irrelevant to the wireless thing, but it might not. 
Happens on both my Linux computers, one Mandrake, the other Red Hat.

Re: IP configuration for Megalink wireless connection.

	Well the thing is, I know netwrok packets are comming in.

tcpdump -i eth1

	All I get are those "arp who-has <IP> tell <server-ip>"

	So I am seeing "something" just the routing I think is stuffing up ;o(

There's a user space daemon for 2.4.x kernels that acts as an MSN Messenger
proxy.  Works well.

I found it via the Linux IP Masquerade resource (should be able to Google
that).

Not Quite Right

Hi

I wanted to make a carbon copy of my smoothie drive just in case something awful 
happens, like a drive failure. (which I've only just recovered from)
But using dd, didn't quite produce the expected results?

/dev/hda = 1024*16*63
/dev/hdc = 1049*16*63, but has the jumper in the 527Mb position, 540Mb = 1049cyl
                        so i'm hoping 527Mb = 1024cyl.
This presumption seems to be correct, because when the jumper was in the 540Mb 
position, mount complained, but since shifting it to the 527Mb position mount 
works correctly with no complaints whatsoever.

root <at> smoothwall~# dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc
dd: /dev/hda: Input/output error ;This is because it ran out of data I think.
917132+0 records in
917132+0 records out

Re: IP configuration for Megalink wireless connection.

Try adding: 
route add default gw <gateway IP> eth<N>

Where gateway IP is probably the IP of the router they installed in your roof, 
and ethN should probably be eth0 or eth1.

Otherwise can you provide a dump of your route and ifconfig -a for perusal ?

[Administrative Notice] Watch out for this

Recently a SPAM email has been sent to a few email addresses (and our 
own) from 'admin <at> mlug.org.au' saying your account has been terminated. 
If you receive this, ignore it. I have contacted the ISP of this 
person/idiot/llamer and asked that they either disconnect this person, 
or forward a bill for US$15,000 for damages/advertising and then 
disconnect him (the later, whilst it would help MLUG a tonne, is not 
likely to happen). Really people. Spamming a list and yet not deleting 
all headers!

PAHWEEZE

Thanks for your time,
you are all still valued members of the list
