  Custom built support.

Well, from what I have played around with in the past the only distros that I tested for myself were: RH, Knoppix, Linspire/Lindows, Mandrake, CL, FC. Out of all of these distros I seemed more interested in Mandrake, Knoppix, and RH which I hear now is FC. (AFAIK). So from your opinion and experience, what would be the best for a beginner. Another problem I have had is getting the drivers to work with my hardware. Im sure everyones had this problem :P. I just built a new computer, so hopefully you can lead me in a right direction.

 

MSI Neo4 Platinum SLi Dual Channel Motherboard

MSI GeForce NX 6600GT SLi

Kingston HyperX 512DDR Dual Channel

Maxtor 7500RPM 160GB

AMD 64 Athlon 2.0GHz (939)

Enermax 550W SLi PSU

Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu LED CPU Cooler

Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse

 

I truly hope these specs help. :)

  if you have dns issues
Posted by: anyweb - 2005-07-25, 11:30 AM - Forum: Network Problems - No Replies


if you can ping 66.249.87.99 but cannot ping www.google.com then chances are you have DNS issues (cannot resolve hostnames)

 

to fix, try manually editing /etc/resolv.conf and input your nameservers in there

 

heres a sample

 

Quote:; generated by /sbin/dhclient-scriptnameserver 192.168.0.1
 

of course, in my case, 192.168.0.1 is my nat/firewall box, but you can point that ip to your ISP's nameservers

 

changes to resolv.conf take place immediatly so no need to restart networking...

 

cheers

  IBM Thinkpad 23, Fedora Core 4, and me
Posted by: somna - 2005-07-21, 02:24 PM - Forum: Fedora Core Release 4 - Replies (6)


Hi all! My names Anthony and I'm starting college (network security as a major) and need some hand-holding getting my Linux box set up. Let's just say I've got over a decade of experience with DOS and Windows, but this is going to be my first foray into another operating system... setup and usage and everything.

 

When I say first foray, I mean it... I'm still trying to decipher installation instructions, where I put them in, etc. At this point, I'm working on installing Dag Repo (YUM and all those good things) and TPCTL to the system and feel like the first time I got lost in the DOS command prompt when I was a kid. Yuck, I hate the hopeless feeling.

 

Anyway, any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

  proxy/ip detection script
Posted by: seeno - 2005-07-20, 01:22 AM - Forum: LAMP - Replies (1)




Code:
<?php
$reqhost = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$proxy = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
$ipaddr = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$revdns = $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'];
$final = "";
if ($revdns) {$final = $revdns;}
else {$final = $ipaddr;}
if ($proxy) {
       $final = $proxy;
       $prxyhost = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
       if ($prxyhost) {$final = $prxyhost;}
       }
echo"your ip/revdns is $final";
?>




 

this little script will check if there's a proxy by checking if there is a X_FORWARDED_FOR in the header (which contains the client's ip) and will try to get the reverse dns of that ip, if there's no revdns, it prints the ip, if there's no X_FORWARDED_FOR, it will try to get the reverse dns of the remote ip (REMOTE_HOST), if there's no revdns, it will print the ip (REMOTE_ADDR).
