Had a few emails lastnight and checked but everythings up this side, even
turned the router on and off but it appears to be some sort of DNS thing
externally. Every now and then I get a flurry of activity on the firewall
then it goes semi quite for a while.

Have noticed that I have exceeded 1000 blacklisted IP's on the firewall
for the first time but havent checked if there are any DNS servers listed
that might be trying to get DNS info.

There has been some real wierd DNS stuff happening this week.
Nothing to do with the cable faults from/to Tiawan though.

Subject:  Re:  rexx/enviroment problem ?

Hi Dennis

>The whole thing seems stupid, but the command copy is a command interperator command 
and not a stand alone program like xcopy.exe is. Therefore, if it is not being invoked it has 
to be because the command interperater is not running. As it is being invoked by another 
program, that other program must have suspended | killed | be running outside the command 
interperater environment.
>Therefore you may need to call cmd.exe with 'copy 'messagefile' C:\tmp' as tit's 
parameters.

That didnt work, tried that previously.
I did find the answer and its now confirmed, (thanks Ed :-)), xcopy works
fine. I can only put it down to clamd doing some wierd stuff, I'll see if it
goes back to working as previously after the next ClamAV upgrade, if
I remember....

Subject:   Problem with eCS3 beta

Hi all,

hope you all had a great Christmas. I have just had a problem with the
latest beta of eCS. Thought i'd splash out, well that was a bit of a
woopsie:) After going through the first part of the installation, it
comes to the first reboot. Then Disaster (yes with a capital D). My
machine now is freezing during POST at reboot. After it recognises the
hard disks it freezes, thus I cannot even get into the BIOS setup to
make any mods. Definitely not good.

Any ideas out there, because this is a relatively new machine and I
would like to be able to keep using it :'( . I had eCS 1.2R sharing with
WIN2K via Boot Manager. Working :-) .

Cheers,
Glenn Montgomery.

Sounds more hardware based.

First, after the obvious stuff like taking the lid off....

reseat RAM, and cards, check that all cables are correctly plugged in,
including power cables and the primary power lead to the motherboard.

Next if no joy, use the 'cmos/clock jumper' to put the BIOS into a
virgin state, and then let us know what happens.

Maybe not, the eCS beta has ACPI in it doesnt it, what PC and/or MB are you
using, and try taking out any cards not needed to check the boot process.

Simply resetting the CMOS might even do it.

Harumph!! 

I wonder if that's why I get "relaying denied" errors on my new work
address "john at oils dot net dot au" ??

That domain is hosted by the same ISP as my kepl dot com dot au...

Anyone care to send me a test message, and report the results to
talldad at kepl dot com dot au  ?

Best regards
