If you're looking to put up a site, and you don't want the hosting company breathing down your neck about everything that you put up, you're going to need to pay for the hosting. The more trouble your content is likely to bring for the hosting company, the more you're going to have to pay. That said, both Jeff Lawton and I offer web hosting services. If you're looking for a commercial hosting service, drop me a private line, or check out Jeff's offerings at http://freedombi.com Clay -- Knock Down Desk: From unpacking to fully assembled in 10 minutes http://www.knockdowndesk.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I currently am dropping inbound port 80 packets, which also disables my ability to port forward. What do i need to do to make this work; add an allow rule for loopback or something? _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list linux-user at egr.msu.edu http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list linux-user at egr.msu.edu http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm going away for the week, and I'd like to be able to use my laptop to connect via my dial-up ISP, but the laptop doesn't have a modem built in and I don't have an external modem in Lansing that I could take with me, or the serial cable to connect it to my PC. It could be a PCMCIA, a CardBus, or an external modem and serial cable, preferably 56Kbps. Barring that, if you have the little connecting cable for a Zoom PC Card (CardBus?) modem, I would like to buy it. I already have one of those modems, but no connecting cable for it. I'll be at this week's meeting, so if you could bring it there, that would be perfect (for me).

I found a 3Com 56K WinModem card (3CXM356) with x-jack connector. I'm guessing it's old enough that it should work in Linux too. I've also got a bunch of 9-25 pin serial cables. And I've got an external USR Sportster 14,400 modem. While we're at it, I'm looking for a 9-9 serial cable, if anyone's got one.

Have you checked to see if your dhcp client allows you to run a script at each renew? If so, you can probably just re-hup your DNS server or something to pull in the change.
