I seem to recall that I had to pass along my Windows login password to access the Windows printer from a Linux box. To be safe (and maybe it was unnecessary), I created a new user on the Windows box...

My Seagate SATA 250 gig hard drive isn't any noisier or quieter that other drives I've owned (IBM, Maxtor, WD, Quantum).

Also, although their service can sometimes upset people, TigerDirect often...

You can put this in your /etc/fstab file on the Linux client box:

/Windows_Box/Windows_Share /client_mnt_point smbfs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,dmask=0777,fmask=0777 0 0

OR

Some folks are hard to please, I guess. Nice to meet someone else from Cowtown.

Put this in your /etc/fstab file:

/Windows_Box/Windows_Share /client_mnt_point smbfs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,dmask=777,fmask=777 0 0

Substitute the variables Windows_Box,...

If you type "http://IP-Address-of-Linux-Box" in your Windows Web browser (where IP-Address-of-Linux-Box is some number like 192.168.0.1), does the sample Web page from Apache appear? If not, then...

If you want to have Internet traffic to your home hosted Web site (or FTP, SSH, VNC, etc.), go to www.no-ip.com for a public domain name that is constantly refreshed to your dynamic IP address. ...

If you are trying to print from a Linux client to a Windows host that is connected to the printer, then install CUPS on the Linux client. Then go to...

Are you trying to print from Linux clients using CUPS to Windows 2000 hosts connected to printers? If so, go to http://www.linuxjunior.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=10440 for...

Both, and then some. Doesn't make any difference so far....

Everything's plugged in the way it's supposed to be. Works perfectly in Winblows XP and 98.

Never thought of that, so I just tried as root. Doesn't make any difference...

That's a bit like wearing suspenders and a belt. You must have some pretty important stuff to want that kind of protection. The nice thing about having a FreeBSD or Linux gateway is that you can...

Yes, I stand corrected.

I have an SB Live Digital card with digitial speakers. I get sound but can't control the volume with soft controls...have to use the hardware volume control.

On small networks (e.g., most home LANs), there is not much difference in speed. On bigger networks (say more than 30 machines), routers are faster because they avoid the data collisions that are...

Making some progress. Two of the WAVE volume controls (left and right) actually work in alsamixergui. Can't control volume (or anything else) from XMMS, though.

Forgot to mention that I'm using ALSA, not the native drivers. That might be the problem.

I have no problem getting sound playing MP3s. Just can't control the volume using a software controller. Can't play CDs, though.

Nope. It outputs to digital speakers, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Very nice...even if it looks a bit like Windows XP. The bugs seem to have gone away...:)

I have a SoundBlaster Live MP3 digital soundcard installed on my Mandy box. I can only control the volume using the external hardware volume controller. Is there any way to control the volume (and...

Memorex CD-RW disks give me heartburn. See http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/9973 for more horror strories about Memorex. I remember back in the bad old days of cassette tapes when...

Using FreeBSD's fdisk program, you will not see /dev/hdaX. The format will be something like /dev/ad0sX. By toggling the size units using the Z key, you should be able to figure out what the...

Ta da! The solution is that you cannot have two natd_flag lines in the rc.conf file as I have shown. You can combine more than one -redirect_port command into the same string like so:
