hi, Thanks for the replies guys. I have a Quad 3.2GHz AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor I believe. 8190MB of ram Win 64 Only Fat32 partition is the 2.5G of that windows reports that 1.99MB free. This should be enough to install Frugal Tahr righ? I might try tahrpup on a USB stick and see if it will run...

Hi, Basically:- Change my current distro of Lupu to Tahr on the hard drive if possible. I can live without it but I really want to... put it down to greed, keeping up to date, just too much spare time or I just don't want to fix that leaky old out of date can't undo tap in my old house...whatever wo...

hi, I think the description says it all but anyway.... I know I had this ability in slacko (I think it was) where in pmount I can check display label in the dropdown box for a partition. This would display labels of the drive on the desktop like so "sdc2 archive-a ". But now, I may be wron...

hi all, I was just very disappointed by puppy 4.2 that was all. I did not mean samba does not work or any other program for that matter. Just that samba did not like mounting and unmounting my shares. Puppy linux 4.2 gave me no end of trouble and it seems to lock up at a drop of a hat. Now 4.12 on t...

I don't know but unmount from the console does not work either. surely it is time to rename 4.2 "deep hole" Samba doesn't want to work either. so I am off to 4.12 "shallow hole perhaps" until all is fixed or unfixed as the case may be. sorry, Just taking out my frustrations. anot...

Hi Thanks for replying. I was so frustrated that today I went and got a new NIC a Gigabit TP-link TG-3296 Au$25. Worked straight out of the box and accepted the IP with no problems as well. It did not complain at all. So my headache is gone. Now is the old nic faulty or just lacked the correct drive...

hi, This is a query that I need to confirm/deny or just call me stupid and be explained to. It is rather long to clearly state what my problems are. I have 2 problems. I have a puppy 4.2 with a NIC on mobo and an additional PCI NIC. The mobo NIC is connected to the ADSL router and the PCI NIC is con...

Hi, I run Puppy 4.20 I ran Tighvnc I downloaded with pet but could not connect to puppy with tightvnc from winxp. It timed out all the time without connecting (No password prompt) then I tried xvnc and got in straight away. You said... Just to be clear, x11vnc server differs from other vnc servers i...

well Actually I rang the netgear help line and the guy said to upgrade the firmware. and do factory default. but it did not help. anyway the other day my daughter said netgear is blocking her myspace! So it seems that it took time for it to settle down. But now that I have started with puppy I think...

hay thanks for the help. The network is up and running and I know what to do if it drops out now. I even managed to install firelog and xnetload to monitor the traffic. Network looks good. I went to shieldsup to scan my setup and they could not get in so firewall is working. Firelog does not show ht...

ok I think I understand what you are saying. My internet provider is in Syd/Mel area in australia and I am in Perth Australia. Due to bush fires at the moment the internet seems to drop out often. This is not a problem in itself but When the linux machie is switched off when the internet is off and ...

hi, I am using puppy ver4.00 release may 2008. the dnsmasq is in sbin/dnsmasq but... I am happy to report that after I wrote to you yesterday, I tried the internet connection and it worked!

hi

Thanks for replying I will try finding an inf and sys files on the windows directory.

The WN111 is a USB adapter and not a PCI adapter.
The setup.exe runs, installs and works ok in XP.


Would you know what the inf and sys files for the netgear would be called?

regards
Pzaw
