Hi, I am running Redhat as a proxy using Squid.The connection through internet is through cable internet. When the cable internet goes down, the modem automatically dials up to the ISP. I want the modem to dial up to the ISP only when the script detects any requests to be sent out to the internet. All, I don't know is, how to go about this. Guys.....ne ideas on how I could implement this? All idea's are welcome. Thanks.

problem with shared libraries
by Pradnyesh Sawant 10 Aug '03

10 Aug '03

i've done a fresh install of RedHat GNU/linux 7.3 (gcc-2.96-110, gcc-c++-2.96-110) on my m/c. i then installed the rar utility. but when i try to run it, it gives the following error: "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" i then did a "locate libstdc++.so", only to find libstdc++.so.2* in the /usr/lib directory. then i installed "wine" from the source code, that i'd obtained from a linuxforu cd. when i tried to run a windoze .exe file using it, it gave me the foll error: "error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" i'd installed gcc-3.2.1 previously (i did a fresh install to get rid of it, since there wasn't a "make uninstall" option available with the source code. i'd then installed blacksun java (j2sdk1.4.1). but when i tried to write a java program, and compile it using "javac", i got the error: "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory") is there some specific way in which i need to install gcc again, or do i have to make some changes to my path? if i search for libstdc++.so.5 on the Internet, then do i copy it to /usr/lib, or somewhere else? what changes do i make to system variables? thanks for all the help. -- HACKER: Someone who loves to program and loves being clever about it. --- Pradnyesh Sawant (The Doubtfire) B.E.

small foot-print GNU/Linux
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 10 Aug '03

10 Aug '03

Hello All, Looking for resources on working on a very small footprint GNU/Linux for project we plan to start in the Affordable Solutions Lab. The idea is to put enough stuff on 32MB Flash RAM, in a thin machine that can run Mozilla and some apps, probably based on it using XUL. We looked at uclinux, but that's not what we are looking for ... The project aims to squeeze a normal network enabled kernel, with display, VMM etc into as small a size as possible. Any pointers?

Partial internet connectivity under linux but windows gives full connectivity
by ourpassions＠vsnl.net 10 Aug '03

10 Aug '03

Hi, i access internet using lan. i have windows 98 and linux red hat 7.3 installed. While i can surf any website and use yahoo messenger in windows 98, i cannot surf most of the sites in linux and cannot use yahoo messenger. Only some sites like google.com can be accessed by both linux and windows.I can get my mails using email client in both linux and windows properly. On analying TCP Dumps , i figured out that my machine sends TCP Reset often..in linux while in windows it sends it rarely . In general internet connection under window is good while under linux is pathetic!!! What to do so that i get same internet connectivity in linux as i get in windows? highly in need of your idea, suggestions -vishal

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Problem With kernel 2.6.0-test2
by Siddhesh Poyarekar 08 Aug '03

Really sorry for the trouble. I should have read the docs in the source first. They explicitly tell me to upgrade my mod-init-utils package. I did that and atleast the modules are being detected. Rest should be ok as the config utils have become even more cleaner and well structured. Thanx for all the responses. Siddhesh. -- A little inaccuracy saves a world of explanation.
