There is much to recommend this approach, but I would expand it. Make it a
homework assignment to figure out how their distro is unique (file
hierarchy, init and rc.* files, permissions, start/kill/restart scripts,
sw install, distro-specific config issues, etc.), and then present a
written theoretical discussion of what they learned. When all assignents
are all in, grade the work by whatever standard, and hand out copies of
info fore each unique distro tot he entire class, thus equipping them with
a touch more information than they would otherwise have to hand.

Mandriva: Can't connect to ANY NTP server - Why?

Posted: 25 Nov 2005 10:27 PM PST

Thanks all,
I've verified that my gw doesn't block port 123.
Yet still I can't find any servers.

Any idea?

Here's the output from both commands (as root):
=========
[root@Atlantis miki]# /usr/sbin/ntpdate time-a.nist.gov
Looking for host time-a.nist.gov and service ntp
host found : 1.0.0.0

[root@Atlantis miki]#
[root@Atlantis miki]# /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u us.pool.ntp.org
Looking for host us.pool.ntp.org and service ntp
host found : 1.0.0.0

You actually have given slightly more than zero information, but not much.
What is happening - is the computer catching fire or something? If you
want help, you've at least got to tell us what you expect to happen,
what you've tried, and most importantly, WHAT ARE THE ERROR MESSAGES?

You mention having two network devices - you aren't trying to run them
both on the same network, are you?

Kernel IP routing table

127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 420 lo

That one isn't going to work unless you play with the Adv-Routing-HOWTO,
because the kernel sees two routes going to the same place, and will
ignore one of them.
 

Have you tried a google search using the terms 'hp pavilion zv5404 linux'?
Might help.

NAME
smpppd - SuSE Meta PPP Daemon

DESCRIPTION
smpppd is a daemon that controls several internet connections.

Use a frontend like cinternet , qinternet or kinternet to
control the connections and retrieve status informations.
Those frontends can also run on different hosts.

The configuration of the dialup connections is done by YaST2 but
there are some additional options available in the
file /etc/smpppd.conf.

smpppd is not intended for direct use. Use rcsmpppd instead.

Enabling SATA with Slackware 10.1

Then it's on the motherboard, and can be looked up by logging into the Dell
site with the "service tag" you can read off the back of your machine, and
which some Dell's also have on the front. Dell support is pretty good.
 

See above, and you can poke around for driver and hardware information in
/proc. /proc/pci is a good place too look, as is /proc/scsi for SATA
controllers. Do note that a lot of built-in SATA controllers are from
Promise, because they're cheaper, but Promise controllers suck really hard.

Can't get PCI Network Card to Work - Knoppix 4.0.2/Redhat 7.2/Redhat 8.0

Thanks Alan,

While I was waiting for a response I installed Windows - on the way to
doing that I setup a lapton on the same line. I discovered that the
connection was extremly poor. While Windows would connect, the
connection (web-wise) was not usable.

There are three cable in question - cable from NIC to wall connector -
cable from wall connector to second wall connector, and cable from 2nd
wall connector to router.

Yes that third cable was bad. When I swapped it out the connection was
pure. I booted with Knoppix and the web came up right away.

So your deduction was 100% right on - if only I had posted earlier.

The sad thing was that I tested the line earlier and it seemed to work.
Lights on both the NICs and the Router all looked good through-out the
entire process.

Thanks!
