Does anyone have experience with the application ytree in Ubuntu 7.10? I've downloaded the program, I just need someone to tell me how to compile it under the standard Ubuntu 7.10 installation. Thanks for any help you can provide me; please provide URLs for anyplace you visited on the WWW. Thanks again.

It seems that I am *always* trying to fix something on the wireless PCMCIA card on his laptop (Gutsy); either poor quality connections, no connection at all, or he tries to install a new card & of course he has no connection to download drivers etc. He does however have a desktop (Gutsy) with an old WUSB11v2 connector that works, so here is my question: Does anyone know a simple, easy way that he can connect to the desktop's nic (while the desktop is connected via wireless) to the nic connector on his laptop in order to download drivers etc? So: Wireless desktop connection ---> desktop nic ---> laptop nic port. If I can figure out a way to easily instruct him how to do this (remotely remember) then at least I'd have a chance in fixing his wireless problem(s) - he's just purchased a new WPC400N to try to replace the Dynex so I'm sure that he will need a connection from the laptop do download drivers, ndis bits etc. Notes: he has access to the wireless router etc., he uses a free open connection in his apartment complex to connect the desktop. Also, both computers (laptop and desktop) connect just fine when using a hardwired dhcp connection. Also, the WUB11 once worked on the laptop, but we've fiddled with the settings to get Dynex and Linksys PCMCIA cards working, and in the process the WUSB11 no longer seems to work on the laptop. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:04:12 -0800 From: NoOp <glgxg@sbcglobal.net> Subject: [Correction] Re: Wireless connection sharing To: ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Message-ID: <fpiimc$1ar$1@ger.gmane.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 02/20/2008 04:54 PM, NoOp wrote: > Notes: he has access to the wireless router etc., he uses a free open > connection in his apartment complex to connect the desktop.

In your case, something like this will suffice : mp3tag -r -g 032 *.mp3 I am assuming all the songs have to be tagged with the same genre.

It's a free connection (I suspect off of a neighbors router), so he has no ability to access the router. I don't think a crossover cable will work without something telling the system to pipe data from the wireless connection to the nic port, but thanks anyway :-) ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:34:52 +1100 From: "Owen Townend" <owen.townend@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Wireless connection sharing To: "Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions" <ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com> Message-ID: <bb72339d0802201734x3bd82451o10c90ec446d046fd@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On 2/21/08, steve <sfreilly@roadrunner.com> wrote: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > NoOp wrote: > > | Does anyone know a simple, easy way that he can connect to the desktop's > | nic (while the desktop is connected via wireless) to the nic connector > | on his laptop in order to download drivers etc? > > > crossover cable from the desktop to the laptop? im assuming the laptop > has an ethernet port.... or why not just plug the laptop into the router? > > > - -- > Steve Reilly > > http://reillyblog.com > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFHvNAw1L48K811Km0RAoYaAJ9L2EsKlqEgxzz3Fc8tThkbKtxYkwCfUstt > xjdL3wv1hHTmMO56xOPJYUE= > =VMK3 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > -- > ubuntu-users mailing list > ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users > Hey, http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php shows how to set up internet connection sharing using 'firestarter' which is a nice front end to ip-tables. Or there's http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 It's a few years old now, but it shows a step by step way to (manually) set up connection sharing on an ubuntu box. The google search term that'll help most is probably 'Ubuntu internet connection sharing'. http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+internet+connection+sharing Hope this helps, cheers, Owen. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was checking the plugs to the SATA drive and after a careful test the drive doesn't work at all now :-) I think the power plug on the printed wiring board is screwed up. The HD does not show up in BIOS at all now. So tomorrow I will take the drive out and see if I can find a problem. HD's are so cheap now it is almost better to just buy a new one, but this SATA is just 4 months old. The wiring board plugs look real cheap and shoddy to me :-( Karl -- Karl F.
