Re: filtering out ads

Hi Owen! Why don't you use junkbuster as filtering proxy? There you'll have a blockfile that works with regular expressions (ad*.*.* for example): dpkg -s junkbuster: Package: junkbuster Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: web Installed-Size: 284 Maintainer: Paul Haggart <[

I just use the Vortex module. I know the numbers are not right but it works very well vor me 3C9XXX is the model number I think will have to check when I get home to make sure. -- Original Message -- From: Chris Majewski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 30 A

Re: filtering out ads

Of course this is really a very good idea if you don't actually want to use the internet. If we don't look at the ads the advertisers won't pay anyone to put them there and the sites will all go away. Jeff David Karlin wrote: > > Hi, > > On Wed, Aug 30, 2000 at 12:33:21PM -0400, Owen G. Emry wro

cable connection stopped working

I have a cable connection to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It worked under linux. I now have a new machine. Even with the same ethernet card as the old machine, I can't get the connection going. Same settings, same ip address, no dhcp (don't need it says Rogers, since my ip hasn't changed). I can up the eth0

how to diagnose ethernet card?

Given that my network is down, how can I check if my NIC works? In particular, if el3diag gives a successful-looking message and no errors, can I assume the NIC is OK? (My cable modem connection is foobar and I would like to at least trust my hardware) thanks chris

Re: Is the 3COM 3C509B PCI (PCI PCI PCI __not__ ISA) supported?

Thanks for the response. Confused though, my card says 3c509b on it, not 3c590. Wassup? chris On Wed, 30 Aug 2000, Ray Percival wrote: > I just use the Vortex module. I know the numbers are not right but it works > very well vor me 3C9XXX is the model number I think will have to check when I

Re: Is the 3COM 3C509B PCI (PCI PCI PCI __not__ ISA) supported?

The 3c59x module is built right into the stock kernel (at least for potato). You don't even have to load a module. As long as it is recognized, it should work. I just did an install yesterday on one, and I skipped all the configure modules stuff--just configured the network and I was off. Ch

Re: how to diagnose ethernet card?

tcpdump tells you the raw tcp messages, and is great for troubleshooting. Also, ping your net address ifconfig might be what you are looking for if you want to see if the interface is setup and running. Chris Majewski wrote: > Given that my network is down, how can I check if my NIC works? > I

DNS problem

Hi, (I'm sorry for the long email, but since I've to tell situation) I've registered a domain name "impko.com" at Network Solutions. But since I haven't setup my DNS server and running properly, I parked it to Network solutions for the time being. I want to host the domain for my LAN, which cons

Re: Is the 3COM 3C509B PCI (PCI PCI PCI __not__ ISA) supported?

The best I've been able to figure it out is that the two models are close enough on the chipset that the drivers work right at least the *nix drivers under windows you would want to get the 3c509b drivers under linux the other works as well and the driver is in most distros. Same reason, I guess
