similar to: Went with OpenDNS for now

I believe this is completely OT, but I want to be positive. I have a fully up to date CentOS 5.2 box. During the past week, when surfing with Firefox (and today, while testing with Konqueror), frequently, especially when DNS is slow, I am seeing references to opendns.com At times, I end up on opendns.com web pages, instead of at the web site I'm trying to get to. My ISP, the phone company,

Hi Everyone, I've got kids who are growing older and I want to build a Linux box to filter Internet access. I've got six computers on the Internet, plus the laptops -- most run Windows. I'm not sure if it's called a router or gateway or...? I don't mind doing the leg work, I just don't know where to start. I'm pretty sure I'm *not* looking for a web server (though

Using CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) on my Desktop with Mozilla Firefox 3.0.12. With one web site (LinkShare) I am getting an SSL error, after clicking to get a more advanced report I do not get that error, using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13 on M$ Windows and I get the report OK on Windows. It appears, when using Firefox on Linux, that it is not ending up on the LinkShare web site and Firefox is giving me the

I set up a CentOS desktop computer for my brother and his kids. When Firefox 3.5 came out he decided to download and install it like he would Windows (he doesn't yet understand the repository system). He's been telling me that it works fine, even though I was skeptical due to my experience with Firefox 3.5 on CentOS 5.3. Then today, he says, "Oh, by the way, the CentOS computer has

Box is fully updated CentOS 5.5 (32 bit). DHCP is from the ADSL modem 192.168.1.1. After I update the DNS settings and restart the network, the DNS changes do not hold. I have tried using this GUI, as a regular user, after giving the root password, and, also, logged in as the root user. When I begin, the Primary DNS is shown as 192.168.1.1 the IP of the ADSL modem. I move that IP to the Tertiary

I've been having an odd problem lately. When I drag files from the computer to a flash drive, they appear to copy, but when I try to use the files I find that only the name was copied (file size of 0). When I copy the same files to the same flash drive, from the terminal, everything seems to work. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? It's starting to get a little frustrating.

I'm a requesting access to a Laptop "template" so I can enter information about installing CentOS 5.2 on a Dell Lattude D400. My user name is RonB on the forums. Thanks.

VirtualBox works great but, since I only really use one Windows program (an older, specialized word processor called Movie Magic Screenwriter), I'm thinking of using Wine to run it in CentOS and getting rid of the Windows virtual machine. But a couple questions: 1) If I run Wine, do I introduce security or performance issues? 2) Is there any difference between Michael Harris' Wine

Hi, I'm trying to run Celtx (a screenplay formatter) in CentOS 5.3 from the shell. If I run celtx-bin I get the following error: ./celtx-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I run celtx I get ./celtx-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgio-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or

In my old computer I have a much bigger hard drive then in this one -- and I plan to hand that old computer down to one of my sons -- keeping his current drive from an even older computer. Currently the hard drive on my old computer has SuSE Linux, but that will go. I'll rebuild CentOS 5.5 on it, but I want to leave some free space for whatever comes up and also dual-boot Vector Linux. Which,

I have been using a free DNS service for the past seven (7) years. This morning, at 4 A.M., , I changed the "A" record for one of my web sites, to point to an IP address on a different server, so I could test. After watching the TTL count down from 3600 to zero, with the "dig" command, it then reset to 3600, but still resolved to the original IP address. :-) I set the

Hi, I just upgraded to the newest kernel and Flash. Hulu now "grays out" when I try to go to full screen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the proprietary video drivers (no difference either way), so I'm guessing it has something to do with either the new Flash or the new kernel. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks for any pointers. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.5

To start, I know I need to upgrade SYSLINUX, but since we are using the CMenu's it's not that easy of an upgrade. I have been (slowly) working on a new iPXE/pxelinux 4.04 install that I am migrating to. However, I have an interesting problem. Using any of the examples I have seen, I can not make pxechain.com work. "pxechain.com ::/path/pxelinux.0" "pxechain.com

I have a location using a CentOS 5 server that's multihomed running Asterisk and iptables for internal web access. Recently some sales people got busted surfing some explicit content so the owner wants something in there to block this. I had heard of Dans Guardian and am reading about what's involved here but just wanted an opinion on what's the best solution for this. NTLM silent

I downloaded Firefox 3.5 from the M. Harris site and, for the most part, have had good luck with it. But I have also had hard crashes that take down CentOS, not just Firefox. It happened to me twice on eBay (on the same page) -- and now I can replicate it as many times as I want by going to... http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter ...and choosing one of the two newsletters, linked there. I'm

I come to you "hat in hand" again. For the first time in a long while I got a "Update Notification" at the bottom of my screen -- so I decided to click on it and run the update. Unfortunately I got a couple dependency errors and am not sure how to solve them. (Not even sure why I got them.) They are as follows: Missing Dependency: libavcodec.so.51 is needed by package

Hi, I have just spent a whole day installing Centos 5.3 on an old machine and now as I take disc 4 out and reboot, I get the first black screen with Login and Password. I can remember being asked for one Login and pwd early in the install but chose not to use one, then it asked what the box is going to be called and I said Linux... (I think). How in earth can I get myself out of this??
