Just another note - all times you see on this website are now Central Standard Time (CST). First time in 21 years outside of EST…scary. ;-)

My new favorite hate is netmeeting. I’ve got this webcam and stuff, but I’m going to need to patch my kernel to make it work. Anybody who made a kernel on an old P90 remember how long it takes? ;-)

OK - Well, at the very least I can access the site from my internal lan now. Man, this is severly annoying. Anyway, here are the details of my network config: I’ve got a Digital Celebris P90 running ClarkConnect (CC). CC is a linux distro based on redhat 7.2 (I’d prefer Debian, but I’ll settle ;-)) which installs quite nicely as a router/gateway system. So I’ve got the P90 jacked into the cable modem and serving as a router for my internal net. CC is really nice in that it came configured very well (i.e. securely) out of the box, but it does have a rather decent web interface for statistics and setting up port forwarding and firewall rules. Furthermore, CC provides a callerid package such that if I have a modem in the box, it will pop up caller name/number on my windows box via a gateway monitor app. Pretty neat, I’d say. In any case, that’s the basics of my setup right now. Hopefully, my ip won’t change anytime soon again and people will once again be able to access the site. I need to go to sleep for now!

So - the cable company (tv and inet) I had to sign up with is called AS&T. I’d link to them, but I don’t think they even have a website.I’m having a problem with my cable modem though. Every few minutes it seems to just stall for about a minute or so…then comes back. Usually happens when I’m browsing, but I don’t get kicked off of IM. Somewhat weird. I’ve read it could be a result of the nic not picking up the 10-baseT on the cable modem side, but even after I explicity set the speed…same problem.

Well, I think the dns changes are propagating somewhat. I can get to the site via some anonymizing proxies….and my pop can get to it as well! woohoo!

ARG - This is rather frustrating. I make all the necessary changes to my dns and what happens…my ip goes and changes. Just when things were starting to propagate. I’ll give some more details if and when I can easily access the site.

Woo Hoo! DCortesi.com is once again accessible from the interweb!I’ll post details later, but for now…time for more unpacking.

Hi! Well, I’ve got the web server back up and running - I just need to get some internet access now so other people can get to it. I’m not sure how well this will go though. I only get one ip and it’s dhcp - not sure if I’ll get the same ip every time. I’ll let ya know though!

Adios!
