Cyberoam trouble...
by Dinesh Joshi 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Hi guys, My ISP, 7star, uses cyberoam client to authenticate its users. I was happily using linc-daemon to authenticate to my ISP's server. As fate would have it he upgraded it. Now it uses Cyberoam version 6.5.0.5. linc-daemon is unable to login :(. It does say "login sucessfull" but I am unable to connect to any websites. The same configuration was working fine before he upgraded. He wasn't very co-operative the last time I had enquired about getting his connection working on Linux. Plus he has this weird idea that Linux is a "hacker" (or cracker) OS. I am 100% sure that the configuration is correct. Nevertheless I tried I tried the client which is distributed by cyberoam. It doesn't work either. It says "You have successfully logged into xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" yet I can't connect to websites. It just get stuck after name resolution. As I said earlier I am 100% sure that there is no configuration problem. It is definitely due to some misconfiguration on the ISP's side or the protocol isn't supported by linc-daemon. Any help, suggestions are HIGHLY appreciated. I can't live without internet on Linux :( Regards Dinesh Joshi P.S.: Apologies if the formatting isn't ok on the email. I am stuck with Outlook Express and Windows...:(

need to build an embedded mp3 player
by Trevor Warren 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

Evening Fellas, Am looking to build an MP3 player based on Gnu-/linux. This would be based essentially on one of the embedded processor architectures either the MIPS or the x86. The whole issue is as follows, i have a 25x25rms amplifier at my residence and would like to have an mp3 player with an LCD-Remote Control connected to it. The building of the mp3 player is the easiest part. The tough part is finding hardware that would be the right fit. What are the boards i should be looking at?. Any ideas or url's that i could RTFM???. Thanks and take care.

Well i got the latest (in india) Acer Aspire 5002 with AMD Turion ML-30 processor. It rocks i also have a toshiba 1.8ghz centrino , when i compare i think AMD is a monster. though laptop comes with 256MB ram i doubled it. only draback is itz 400FSB :( ... there are some wonderful machines in international market ( i mean USofA) like HP nx6125 turion 2 ghz ... but as usual asian countries get the let over. so i think this HP machine will come in india in next 6month ( or later) abt acer also has good machine in UK and US . not in India :( i think these chaps are least bothered ( damn pissing) Abt Linux for Turion, i tried Fedora core 4 and Ubuntu( modified to my requirements ) and both are equally good. and much faster then windows for sure. and plus point Turion processor doesnot have heat problem ... anymore raj

Suggest R-Connect Phone
by Rony Bill 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Hello All, I am thinking about migrating to the 115 kbps r-connect internet service through a fwp. I liked the iphone's speed but it is usb and works on windows. I have a few questions. 1. According to those of you who have used reliance's fwp for r-connect on linux, what would be the best option for top speed and linux compatibility; the older one with serial cable or the iphone with usb cable or older one with usb cable? 2. Can the serial cable version be setup without drivers in kppp just like an external modem is setup? 3. Does its dialler work in the gui mode like kppp or it has to be controlled through cli only? 4. Which linux flavours have you tried it on? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?

Very alpha ntfs write was available since 2.4.20. And afaik is still very beta. Use captive instead. http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ rgds jtd
