I'm trying to get some networking professionals to weigh in on this question, hence my choice of forums. Given a host with an IP of 200.200.200.150, and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128, is the following considered an acceptable way to write the address in CIDR notation: 200.200.200.150/25...

An Oracle DBA at our office is telling me that "11g 64-bit on Linux will not run with less than 8GB of RAM". I am a Sysadmin, not a DBA, so I don't have the technical expertise to know if this is true, but it seems like a drastic oversimplification. I would imagine that a large enough DB, with...

I'm getting a tcp error when attempting to connect to a windows 2000 server on the network. The error number is 9407. A search on the net shows that as being a "seqGrabInfoNotAvailable" error. I can't seem to find any more info than that. Can anyone tell me what it means, or point me...

Hi guys and gals. I have an Openserver system that will boot into single-user mode fine. When I do an init 2, (or any other init besides 1), the system freezes. At that point I get nothing but a blinking cursor. Some possibilities I was considering were: 1) a corrupt non-root filesystem 2) a...

Hello all. I've got a new win2k machine with an old Fujitsu dot matrix attached to it. When I print documents several pages in length, the machine slows to a crawl for about 20 seconds. The printer supports a few different emulations, so I've tried three or so. I've also switched from spooled...

I have an old Compaq Proliant server running SCO Openserver that will not boot. It apparently crashed overnight. When I boot, it tells me there is a dump in the /swap. I tell it not to save the image, and to proceed with checking the root file system. At this point, I get a panic, it dumps a...

I have a win 2k pro machine (sp3) that boots really slowly - the wall paper comes up, but I have yet to wait long enough for the taskbar or anything else to come up (and I've waited 30 minutes or more). But, I can still bring up task mgr. with ctrl-alt-del. I shows 100% cpu use, 99% of that is...

Hello. I'm getting a funny response from a Visual TCL program called scoadmin on a SCO Openserver 5.0.4 system. When I hit keys, I get no response from the program until I hit enter. When I hit enter, all my previous key strokes are executed. I found this is /tmp/tclerror.656.log: Uncaught...

Hello. I am dialing in over a modem to a fully patched openserver 5.0.4 system in order to register the enterprise license (had to re-register b/c machine name changed). When I go into scoadmin something funny starts happening: no keystroke gets a response until I hit enter. Then all...

I have a network running through a 16 port 3com hub. It has a fairly low amount of traffic going through it (basically 14 telnet sessions and no big file transfers). I need to double the number of connections to 32. Should I just go right to a switch, or would another hub be ok? I just want...

Can anyone lend some help/advice? I have two XP machines (acers) on a hub. They are both running the same specialized application. The database for the application resides on box #1 (called 'main') on a shared drive called 'data'. In the mornings (and only in the mornings) box #2(called...

This is a silly one: What is the command to display the eth0 addapter info (mac address, etc.)???? Argggghh...it's on the tip of my brain.

Hello. A SCO openserver 5 server of ours keeps loosing the date. I will set it using date -t, but the next day the date will reset. It's very annoying when the server starts to run it's nightly backup in the middle of the day. It is my understanding that the cmos battery is only used to keep...

Hello everyone. My problem is this: A user of a machine in our network is getting an error message had to do with permissions while using an application that interfaces with MS Word. I unistalled the application he was using and reinstalled. I got errors on reinstall. The install log...

Hi everyone. I recently installed Mandrake (bluebird) on a box at home. I am connecting to a cable modem through a Linksys el cheapo cable router. The first time I ran the executable /usr/local/netscape/netscape, netscape attempts a connection with a "registration server". This page...

Sorry if this is not appropriate to this forum. I have a question about serial communications, and I figured I would have the best chance of getting an answer from a fellow unix person. (That is, someone who refers to the male DB-9 on the back of a pc as "tty1a".) Does anyone know...

I'm really stuck here. Any advice would be a gift from the heavens. I have a SCO 5.0.6 system. I have two canon laser printers connected to the network by ethernet. I set both printers up as local spooled printers, by using the HP remote printing services (hpnp). The network device name they...

I posted this on the XP forum, but no one seems to know. On our lan we have one xp laptop, one 98 pc, and three 2000 Pro pcs. I have the printer connected to the xp machine shared. I was able to set up the 2000 pcs to print to it easily. When I browse the network from the 98 pc, the xp...
