    Reminiscing about the mainframe days ...

    No, you're totally lost. Nobody at DEC ever referred to anything they made as a mainframe. Do you really want to argue with Ken Olsen? ALL the PDP machines were minis and none of them ever competed with mainframes. I've used DEC 10s and 20s. They were not mainframes. I understand how a guy who...

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    I guess we can mark this one closed. Turns out me and my router are to blame. My router doesn't port forward correctly but DMZ does seem to work. And I didn't get it that you can't test from inside your LAN even using your external IP. Look at me, I'll be a qualified network analyst in another...

    PuTTY Bash - Home & End keys

    Bash *usually* defaults to emacs key bindings. ctrl-a will get you to the beginning of the line and crtl-e goes to the end. This *usually* works, but not always. I haven't figured out which scenarios cause problems but most of the time it works. In your case I don't know if it's putty or the...

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    Thanks alot for the help. I guess I am starting to understand your earlier post about not being able to do it from inside my LAN. At first I just didn't get it, but now with your explanation and seeing the trace (although most of it was Greek to me) I realize as silly as it seems, it just won't...

    Low Level System Software Engineering Jobs

    I used to write object code for a living and I enjoyed it a lot. Now I'm a high level programmer working in assembler ;-) Not that you should specialize, since you're just starting out, but it might be good to think about whether you want to work on embedded, or OS etc. Almost every hardware...

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    Hmmm the plot thickens. Using a shell account I can ssh into my virtual server and also see the virtual website. Why can't I do it using my own external ip address from inside my LAN? Does this make any sense?

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    Thanks SirDice, I have two traces here to show you. My router is definitely not behaving 100% as it should but I cannot yet prove it's causing this. And since my test Solaris server box behaved badly since I started playing around with zones, I decided to make things simpler and created a...

    Thanks guys. looks like elinks is a fork of links? I don't really like links but maybe I should have another look. I will also look at w3m. cheers m8s :-)

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    Thanks, I forgot about that one. I'm trying nmap-online.com now. But grc is good. Maybe the site I tried is bogus, it says scan ran too long and doesn't show me any output. LOL. Off to get a shell account, anybody know any free good ones with nmap?

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    So I would ssh in there and then ssh to my test host? I don't know, but I'll ask. Right now they're saying if canyouseeme.org works then it's not their problem. I need to be able to prove nothing is coming into my server, but I don't know how to capture and find any incoming traffic. Thanks...

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    If I sign up for a shell account somewhere will this help me test these types of problems or will that not work either?

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    Is there any online service to do this? I don't know anyone to ask. edit: Found one and am trying it now.

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    I already tried port forwarding and DMZ as I said. I can understand SirDice's comment about perhaps not being able to test from inside, but I think nmap is giving me a pretty clear proof the router is grabbing the port and not forwarding it. Any other helpful suggestions aside from pointing out...

    Can't get inside my LAN from outside, who's to blame?

    Hi guys, this is a tough one but I figure you can get it sorted. I am trying to either port forward or DMZ a server box. I can get from anywhere in my LAN to anywhere, all my boxes are set up with SSH pubkey auth. However, I cannot get inside my LAN from outside, all I get is "connection...

    Any good text browsers?

    I know about lynx and links. What else should I look at? Thanks.

    Reminiscing about the mainframe days ...

    Hi rbelk. Yes, USS (Unix System Services) came out I believe sometime in the 1990s. They seem to be trying very hard to rename it because of a conflict with very old VTAM terminology but even the current doc still calls it by the same name. It is part of z/OS. AFAIK it is implemented as a...

    Reminiscing about the mainframe days ...

    Yeah I guess it could be unclear if you get all your mainframe info from wikipedia. From your post I would say you just like arguing about stuff you have no personal knowledge of (meme) and think a box based on a 50 dollar chip can outperform a box that costs half a million dollars for an entry...
