Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I have the XP firewall off. I'm connecting now--I couldn't get the password (I had the hba file set first to 'MD5' and then to 'password') to authenticate--looks like 'trust' is bypassing authentication entirely. Finding the postgres log file helped a bit--it was a relief when the connection happened and I was down to the relatively simple password issue.
Sometimes windows doesn't append the domain name to host names when looking up names.
I'm not using a domain name, not on purpose. But I noticed that OS X is appending .socal.rr.com to both hostnames. Win XP has decided to resolve the OS X box, and not the TiVo one. Because it hates me. Went to that tab you mention and entered socal.rr.com, and now it adds it and everything resolves quite neatly.
Thanks for your help! I'd have had my eyes crossed with reading to get myself this far.

You're welcome - I do have an explanation for the behavior you describe, but I read it after writing it and it kinda bores me even. Chalk it up to the side-effects of Microsoft's relentless drive to preserve backwards compatibility with its old name resolution system.
I'm kinda psyched somebody is using dd_wrt. Its a cool project.

I'm a networking lightweight--I usually stick well on the top of the OSI layer. But a friend is a big old Cisco-head, so I was bragging about having (finally) gotten dd-wrt working. He got all sulky that the WRT54GC wasn't big enough to run it (he wants a travel router), but when I showed him all the tabs he started considering buying one of the bigger WRT54s to have some of those options around without using the big iron. Which he has to buy anyway, but why fool around with your expensive stuff?

Uh...you do that because you can. Not sure why I even said it. But hopefully my point got across.
Apropos of nothing, a few weeks back, I partially signed up for my free upgrade from XP Pro to Vista Pro. I only partially completed it in that I only ever filled out the info stuff on the web site. I never completed the second part -- which was to fill out a card and send it in with my receipt for my computer (something I didn't actually have).
I have received an email notification that my upgrade is whipping its way to me through the postal system.
I guess the two sides of that weren't connected.
Oh, I have no desire to actually switch, I'm perfectly happy with XP. I just want to have the upgrade CD in my possession.
Anyone do PHP PostgreSQL programming? I'm wondering if there's some sort of PGSQL equivalent to MySQL's mysql_insert_id function.
ita, see towards the bottom of this: [link]
I'm not sure I ever tested the equivalent on MySQL, but when I thought of retrieving the last serial # in PGSQL it seemed easy enough to get the last serial # but of someone else's more recent transaction. Maybe a stored procedure?
