No mention of Puppy but still generalisations of Puppy description.
Almost down to the same description Puppy users are used too.

Interesting stuff. I'm back to the shadows now. :-)

Hi James,

The problem of the blank IP is quite simple.

The addresses you quote are internal router addresses.

Firewallstate IP information uses an external site to send back the External IP info. On the "other side" of the router, your ISP connection.

Psync Version 2.9

hwclock utility has changed slightly causing a change in the way it worked. This caused a small problem for Psync in new versions of Puppy.

Forum member Norm Pierce wrote a patch to the code to accomodate this.

Thanks Norm, I'm a bit busy at the moment to take care of it.

gcmartin, The ntp call is to a 'pool' addresses of servers hard coded in the function psync, at the top. Look at top of that, as a test comment out the pool local to you and add your ntp server address. Try synching and see what happens, that's all I can suggest. If you use 'Europe' then comment out...

I still can't understand why both programs did what they did. I was most careful. Anyway, testdisk deep scan found my work partition and restored it. However my Puppy iso's and savefiles were nowhere to be found. It did find very, very old Windows files :? I also realised it had removed the extended...

sszindian,

googletalk-ff

Yes the addon works Ok in the UK, BUT it certainly isn't free in the UK. It racks up a call cost (top right).

No just checked, you have to buy credit beforehand.

I was asked why the change. Well, on startup firewallstate retrieves the external IP address and the internal LAN IP. Then stops accessing after placing them in /tmp, this saves further processing. On a reboot this information is refreshed, no problem, the information is correct. However, if, as I d...
