Thanks to Kenneth and Prasanta for the help. I had heard about GNUPlot before from Atanuda (don't know whether he is on the list or not), but never knew about PIL. Will try it out though. Thanks a lot, Debarshi -- ,= ,-_-. =. ((_/)o o(\_)) `-'(. .)`-' \_/

Routing between 2 private networks.
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

http://www.tutorialsall.com/SLACKWARE/routing-between/ I have exactly the problem as the one in the above link. I also believe that the solution (the one by Eric Hameleers) is also the same: "configure your internet router with an additional return static route for the "hidden" network segment". The current status of the router (a FC5 box): [root@Sunflower ~]# echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [root@Sunflower ~]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:9F:4A:62:A8 inet addr:172.16.16.144 Bcast:172.16.19.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 inet6 addr: fe80::2c0:9fff:fe4a:62a8/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:149195 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10836 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:16685165 (15.9 MiB) TX bytes:3077530 (2.9 MiB) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xc800 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:F1:36:27:6F inet addr:192.168.0.144 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:f1ff:fe36:276f/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:11971 errors:393 dropped:385 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9938 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3405233 (3.2 MiB) TX bytes:3280636 (3.1 MiB) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe000 Memory:e0204000-e0204fff lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:14811 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14811 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:10120532 (9.6 MiB) TX bytes:10120532 (9.6 MiB) [root@Sunflower ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 172.16.16.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 172.16.16.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 [root@Sunflower ~]# I need machines on the 192.168.0.x network to be able to access the proxy 172.16.16.2 on the 172.16.16.x network. The router is 172.16.16.144. I have set 192.168.0.144 as the gateway on the 192.168.0.x machines. The machines on the 192.168.0.x network can ping each other, can ping 172.16.16.144, but not any other machine on 172.16.16.x. It seems that the outward packets are getting routed but they are lost on the way back to the 192.168.0.x network. What would be the exact 'route' command to fix this. I would like to avoid the iptables/ipchains and the NAT way of setting this up. Please help. Regards, Debarshi -- ,= ,-_-. =. ((_/)o o(\_)) `-'(. .)`-' \_/

Hindawi@Linux now available for download
by Abhishek Choudhary 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

The first ever complete Indic computer programming suite has now been successfully ported to Linux. It supports Hindi BASIC, Hindi C, Hindi C++, Hindi Java (tm), Hindi LEX, Hindi YACC, and Hindi ASSEMBLY languages. Hindawi@Linux also includes an email client to send and receive mail in Hindi using Romenagri. This has a benefit that those who have this client will see the Hindi email in Devnagri, while all other mail clients will show it in the Roman / Rose script. Currently available clients would show garbage if the proper encoding was not available. Kindly visit the following link for screen shots and downloads. http://www.indicybers.com/HindawiLinux/ You may contact Abhishek Choudhary, the developer of Hindawi, Romenagri and related software at hi_pedler(a)yahoo.com or call him on +91-9980340138 (for support please email; congratulatory calls are welcome and so are contributory calls). Regards, Abhishek

misleading advertisement
by vvcrishna＠radiophony.com 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Dear Ms Fletcher I am in possession of your mailed offer advertising PC guides entitled "At Home With Your PC". On reading this, together with the sample guides enclosed, it appears that the material you are selling (at a huge discount from the advertised price) is a 'helpful guide' aimed at home users of personal computers running versions of the Microsoft Windows operating systems. However, this clarification appears nowhere in the text of the offer, which only refers to PCs as though the term 'PC' implies solely such devices. There is no mention at all of GNU/Linux or Macintosh or any other widely used operating system for personal computers, which in themselves are not (for your information) confined to a single operating system, and definitely not solely to versions of a proprietary operating system that constitute a virtual monopoly of consumer's mindspace, probably due in large part to such misleading public messages purveyed by prominent media organisations. In fact, you do not even mention the trademark 'Microsoft Windows' or its equivalent, thus implying in substance that there are no alternative systems in existence. It is only on reading the 'sample guides' in detail that it becomes clear that your offer relates only to use of Microsoft Windows and additional computer applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel sold by the same company. In very fine print (and at right angles to the normal text), the guide pages carry a certificate that the content of the guide has information pertinent to home users of computers running Windows 95 (not correctly trademarked Microsoft Windows 95) and above. There is no such disclaimer in the text or margins of your offer letter. I find this a shocking misuse of the goodwill that the Reader's Digest has built up over the years, one that supports free choice for the consumer to purchase goods and services, without being misguided by the media. I am copying this mail, in protest, to public service lists relating to the use of computers in India, and to users of alternate operating systems. I trust that others will be informed in time of the limitations of your offer and be able to make an informed judgment regarding their own purchase decisions. Unfortunately I do not immediately have at hand the mailing address of the Consumer Society of India or of the Advertising Standards Council of India, who also should be informed. I do hope you will immediately either unconditionally withdraw this partisan offer, or suspend it until your editorial team can expand your offering to users of alternate systems, or make it clear that your offer is indeed limited as described, explaining exactly why you have chosen in this case to withhold important information, thus relaxing your journalistic independence. Sincerely Vickram Crishna
