| jhutchins | If the DHCP server doesn't know a DNS server that knows the IP's, you would need /etc/hosts. |
| intelikey | milardovich yes, just that websites normally do multi-lang |
| SubOne | i have to add a host to every computer each time i add a new computer? |
| RoyB72 | anyone knows why I get "Error opening/initializing the selected video-out(vo) device" error, and what I can do about it? |
| intelikey | milardovich so what did you need just a load test ? |
| SubOne | jhutchins: I use comcast internet, how do i setup the DNS, using their DNS servers or my router somehow? |
| jhutchins | SubOne: That or set up a DNS server that the DHCP server will talk to. Or possibly a DHCP server that will work in conjunction with your DHCP server. Er. DNS server. |
| Milardovich | intelikey yeah intelikey, in the "fotolog" block, please click on "slideshow", and tell me if it works ;) |
| eilker2 | i tried for it intellikey |
| intelikey | can't do that atm. |
| jhutchins | SubOne: They won't tell you the hostnames for your internal computers. You can assume that the IP's won't change and add them to a hosts file on each PC, or set up a DNS server on one of the linux boxes and tell it the hostnames. |
| eilker2 | i did sth, but i dont know |
| jhutchins | SubOne: If you have a lot of IP's and need this to work you may need to talk to comcast. |
| eilker2 | no w need to go, take care people see you |
| SubOne | well the linksys router doesnt even get the hostnames for some reason |
| jhutchins | milardovich: There is a mechanism to select the correct language for each user, but of course you must first have each page in each language. |
| Skuller | i could not get my nvidia drivers that i downloaded form the nvidia site to install any tips ? |
| raw-knee | I have just reinstalled kubuntu feisty beta. how do I retrieve my gpg keys from a keyserver and use it to sign my messages? |
| jhutchins | SubOne: Right. Nobody gets hostnames unless you tell them. |
| SubOne | so if i setup a DNS server on one of the computers then i set the "Static DNS" on the router to point to that computer and set it to static ip? |
| jhutchins | SubOne: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html |
| intelikey | jhutchins isn't there also a generic "translator" of some kind ? |
| SubOne | jhutchins: because i know at least two of the computers on the network are wireless and i dont want them to be static ips yet i want them to be able to be accessed by hostname |
| jhutchins | SubOne: Is comcast assigning the IP's, or is the router assigning them? |
| SubOne | the router |
| raw-knee | I want to avoid creating another set of keys as much as possible |
| intelikey | so you don't have to have 82 copies of each page jhutchins |
| jhutchins | intelikey: There's babelfish, but if you're running a website you either link to babelfish or provide the translations as seperate pages. |
| SubOne | technically comcast doesnt allow multiple pcs connecting to the internet through a router through their home service |
| jhutchins | SubOne: Then you must learn to do Dynamic DNS. |
| intelikey | k babelfish is what i was thinking of |
| jhutchins | SubOne: THen the router should offer a DNS. |
| SubOne | why dynamic DNS? i only need them accessible from inside the network |
| jhutchins | SubOne: Right, 90% of us run a home network with something like this. SubOne: Here's how you would do it if you had a linux box being the router: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ |
