Whenever possible inlinux use "man". Best place to learn everything in linux. While configuring i had not selected DHCP configuration hence i had manually entered the relative parameters on the relative tabs with which i dont think this goof up would be possible but as you said i will double check again. Even if you configure DHCP, you need to have a dhcp server in place otherwsie where would your clien t. Hello Everyone, With regards to my problems this is something which i found after "Investigation". This is along email so please beer with it !! LOL When my windows boots up, my system tray shows a network connected icon (two monitors) indicating that it is on the network. Now after this happens i connect to the internet using PPPoE protocol. My cablenet provider has installed a dialer (Windows dialer no special software) which uses this protocol and connects to the internet. On the hand in linux when the system boots up it shows a message saying "Bringing up interface eth0 [ok]" Which indicates that the machine was successfully placed on the network. I guess if not then it just hangs or tries to connect indefinately. To buttress this fact further i would say that when i ssue an ifconfig the output shows Received by as a different value everytime (Increasing everytime) which i suppose indicates that the pc is indeed on the network. One question remains that even if i keep my default gateway address as blank then also my ifconfig shows two different address for eth0 which are 172.25.65.29 and Bcast as 172.25.65.31. i am not sure what this means!! any help would be appreciated. Refer to my if config output below. ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:6A:67:E2:3A inet addr:172.25.65.29 Bcast:172.25.65.31 Mask:255.255.255.252 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:14598 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:898426 (877.3 Kb) TX bytes:240 (240.0 b) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xdf00 ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' The next step i have taken is that i have downloaded the PPPoE protocol for linux and installing that but now other problem arises which is module dependencies. PPPoE expects cc compiler installed but it seems my machine does not have one. So i downloaded an RPM package for the same but that in turn asks for glibc-develp package. I downloaded that and tried installing but it in turn asked for kernel headers Since i dont have the installation cd for linux i have downloaded that also and will give a try but if that fails then i will get the CD and perform the installation. Some questions regarding PPPoE would be what parameters should i provide to this protocol. I checked my windows configuration which says that they are given by DNS i wll try with that else ILUG-BOM zindabad!!!! Bye for now and thanx again for the help given and probably would require in future since i still have some question regarding the usability of linux.

Hi All, I am trying to install Oracle 9i Standard edition on RHEL 4. While setting the shmmax value ( as root ) in /proc/sys/kernel to that specified in the Oracle documentation, I am facing a problem. When I edit the value in shmmax using vi editor and try saving it, it gives a message "E667 : Fsync failed." I am unable to edit this file. Can anyone help me out with this ? Regards, Gopi

RHCE doubts
by Komal 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hello, I have one question about RHCE exam. RHEL comes with Postfix and Sendmail MTA. I am comfortable with Postfix and I would not like to waste my energy with Sendmail. In exam can I choose Postfix over Sendmail or I have to concentrate on both Postfix and Sendmail? Is there any RHCE forum out there? Anybody with RHEL 4.0 NOT RHEL 3.0 books on 033,133 and 253 please contact me off list I want to buy that books. Thank you Regards, Komal
