any single player games in the last three years but instead have bought a copy of almost every MMORPG game that has come out on the market looking for the next UO. For me the game is secondary to interacting with the people online and as such for me this type of game will always have a special place for me.
I have read that Mars is also going througn a period of glabal warming right now. If that is the case the only thing that affects both mars and the earth is the Sun. So more than likely that this is a issue with the sun putting out more energy now than it has in the recent past and this too will probally right itself with the sun cooling down in the next couple of hundred years.
Our experience with a Linksys TX-100 NIC was not encouraging. Admittedly, this isn't the most popular NIC in use, but it's hardly exotic. The system had no clue that it was installed. The recommended driver at Masayuki Murayama's Web site built funny, and never would attach. Fortunately, we had better luck with Garrett D'Amore's drivers.
There are a number of configuration files in/etc that you will have to edit, and even create, to get your NIC to work, once you've got it installed and recognized. If you're comfortable with ifconfig, you'll want to use it. Personally, I find ifconfig to be clunky, and prefer to do the setup manually. It takes me less time. Here's what you need to do:
So he had to find drivers for a unsuppoerted piece of hardware. This is not new and unless the drivers are in the OS the above is something you will have to do with alot of third party devices for Linux and Windows also.
1. Find the name of your network interface by running ifconfig -a.
Very easy once you have found and installed the correct drivers to find the name of the interface
2. Create a file,/etc/hostname.NICname and put in it one word: the name of your host.
yes this maps the nic to the hostname that you want to give it.
3. Add the host's IP address, the NICname, and host name to the/etc/hosts file. It should already exist, as Solaris ought to have set up a loopback (localhost) device, but if not, create it.
Editing your host file just like you do in Linux (or should).
4. Create a file,/etc/defaultrouter, and put in it the LAN-side IP address of your router or default gateway.
Easy way to look up your gateway in solaris instead of going to/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.eth0 and trying to see it from there.
5. Create or edit the file/etc/netmasks and enter your host's IP address and netmask. If you have only a few hosts on your LAN, it really is easier to use fixed IP addys. If you have a multitude, you'll need to use your router as a DHCP server instead (and in that case you're on your own).
Once again this makes it real easy especially when you have 3 or more network cards to configure the netmask.
6. Create or edit the file/etc/resolv.conf and enter your preferred DNS servers in the form, nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
One file to look up all of your name servers how easy is that.
7. Edit the file/etc/nsswitch.conf and change the line that reads hosts: files to hosts: files dns. If you miss this one, you won't be able to use DNS.
Easyer is to copy to nsswitch.conf one of the following preconfigured files and then edit it from there for your enviroment.
nsswitch.nis
nsswitch.dns
nsswitch.nisplus
nsswitch.files
8. Re-boot, and confirm that your internet connection comes up automatically. If it doesn't, try the command ifconfig NICname up. If that fails, boot your trusty Linux box and start Googling.
You will always want to do that when installing any OS that you are not familure with but even better you could cd rc2.d and then stop and start the S*inetsvc (where *=a number i.e. S27inetsvc)
One thing that I do agree with the story is that untill Solaris x86 has better driver support it iwill remain a redheaded step child.
Why after almost a year that the game has been out can you not keep your servers stable?
What drove me away originally was the lack of stability that you had on your servers and every time I think of comming back I start watching the boards and sure enough people start complaining about thier server being down and sometimes Blizzard anounces 24 hour down times for maintaince and to me that is not acceptable as a consumer.
I remember a few years ago that Microsoft had anounced that Win 2003/XP was the last time the server and desktop products were going to be two distinct products and now we learn that this is not the case where there is going to be a Vista Desktop and a Longhorn Server.
It would be nice to goto Wikipedia and know that the data is correct rather than learning something and then having to verify that the data is correct especially when you are in a time crunch.
I know for one that I am currently using 1.25 GB of my gmail space and it is growing every day.
posibly early 2006 I will start needing to delete some of that e-mail but I hope not as I like going back and refering to old e-mail.
1) Get a Lawyer. 2) Make a copy of the Contract... 3) Becouse they are now negotiatiting the contract feel free to add clauses and remove items that will bring it more into line of what you want. 4) Be aware that there is a chance they will not accept this and will terminate your employment.
I have a 2.5TB RAID 5 NAS that I use to store my data and then I use tape backup (I use a Qualstar TLS-6210 DLT 7000 35/70GB Tape Library that I bought off of E-Bay for about $500) to back up the data and store the data off site.
Solaris/Linux at work.
However on 2 of the 3 home systems run windows (mainly are game systems) but the third system which is my webserver/e-mail server at home runs Linux.
Until developers get out games first on Linux I hate to say it but the home systems will stay that way for a long time.
I have inherited a sendmail server that I know is a open relay unfortunately while I know Solaris sendmail has been a pain to administer. It is version 1.15 on a old Sparc 20 running SunOS 4.1.4. I have tried several times to use Sendmail 8.10 however I have kept running into stability issues (user error) that have so far prevented me from bringing this version to a live server.
I know the current version that I am using is a open relay from the tests that I have ran and so far there is no way that I have been able to secure it so far from the information that I have been able to pick up at this time.

As long as I can set the priorities so that it will brake for the puppie and run over the child this will have my vote.

I wonder if a virus could be passed this way and if it could then you could have infected at least 17,000 people via blue tooth.

They should have just loaded up a Knoppex CD and got around the whole issue

The 4 CPU is a Desktop RTU for $199.00 while the 2 CPU RTU $249.00 is for the Server License.
