Issues regarding Access through Proxy Servers to clients homepages via FTP
by Frank Tyson 04 May '01

04 May '01

I understand various providers restrict access to their clients homepages via FTP e.g Slingshot doesnt allow you to access your pages through a proxy server at Polytechnic or University This is a pain in the proverbial A**se because the course Im completing is Cybertech/E Commerce /Web Design and as part of my project I am required to create and maintain my own site Sure its fine when this can be done from home but in some cases I need to be able to do this from class An example would be creating the site at home then zipping it up uploading the zip to my homepages, extracting it at polytech to work on a particular section then loading the completed site back to my provider Currently the only way to load it is by having 2 email addresses and transfering stuff between them unless anyone has a different idea Ok you may suggest using an outfit like Tripod etc but I dont want my project cluttered with thier adverts popups etc When one looks at some of the public domain sites they have the faciality for transfering stuff via FTP built into the site rather than having to run a seperate program Maybe its something that could be looked at hear with NZ ISP's If one of you is running a server which allows access via FTP through Proxy Servers and of course rates and conditions are reasonable let me know I may have to consider switching providers who knows lol ___ [| |=|{)__ |___| \/ ) /|\ /| / | \ | \ For all your Web Design and Photography Frank Tyson Stokes Valley New Zealand Mobile 021 134 1826 --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Connection to APE
by Seeby Woodhouse - Orcon 01 May '01

01 May '01

Hi there People We (Orcon Internet) have been considering a connection to APE for quite some time, and it is becoming more and more important for us to get this set up. The reason is that our Global Gateway domestic connection does not connect satisfactorily to a number of NZ ISP's (e.g. Asia Online), and this is important to us because otherwise we have to pay International rates to connect to them. Additionally, we have 30 NZ ISP's that sit behind our network and some of them have been expressing a desire for us to have a connection at APE as well. Because of the amount of traffic that we foward domestically, I don't think that a 2Mbit connection will surfice - so we will probably have to put in a 10Mbit link. Obviously a 10Mbit link needs to be carried over ATM or IPExpress. we don't want to use IPExpress to connect to the sky tower as I am concerned that if the quality of the service gets bad (packet loss / latency - Clear make no QoS guarantees on IPExpress), then BGP is not going to fall over to our Global Gateway Domestic - even if that is faster. So our only other option is to use ATM. However, Telecom tell us that if we want to purchase a 10Mbit PVC up the sky tower, then we need to have an ATM to terminate it on (which is going to cost us $4k for the ATM + The PVC charge + An ATM router + telehousing - which is expensive!) Clear offer a service where if you purchase a Frame Relay, IPExpress or ATM, then you can get a connection to APE for free (they just terminate it up the sky tower on their own equipment I guess) - but Telecom does not seem to do this. Anyone know how we can get a 10Mbit connection to APE via our Telecom ATM without having to pay for all the associated access fees at the sky tower end?

Off topic.... but .......

April 27, 2001 Sony to release Linux for PS2 By STEPHEN SHANKLAND, CNET NEWS.COM Linux fans who want to run their favorite operating system on the Sony PlayStation 2 game console apparently will get what they've been hoping for. On Friday, Sony posted information on the Beta Release 1 of its PlayStation 2 Linux Kit, including a press release on its Japanese site that puts its price tag at 25,000 yen, or about $200. The kit includes a DVD with software, 40GB hard drive, keyboard and mouse. The beta, or test, version will be available in June. More than 6,000 people signed a petition earlier this year to encourage Sony to work on the project. The PlayStation 2 is powered by a MIPS chip. One of the benefits of Linux is that it's comparatively easy to get it working on different CPUs. Sony selected Linux to help game developers simulate the PlayStation 2 so they could get a jump on creating games before the actual hardware was available. Running Linux on the game console itself, though, is a different matter entirely. Rumors of the possibility have been circulating on Slashdot, a news and discussion site popular with Linux fans. The programming blueprints, or source code, for the kernel--the heart of Linux--is included on the DVD, Sony said. But the source code for a proprietary "runtime environment" that lets games play on the system is not. -- \_ Roger De Salis Cisco Systems NZ Ltd </' +64 25 481 452 L8, ASB Tower, 2 Hunter St /) +64 4 496 9003 Wellington, New Zealand (/ roger(a)desalis.gen.nz rdesalis(a)cisco.com ` 4/4/01.

Buy & Sale of used network equipment
by Bart Kindt 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

I often feel the need to either put up for sale network related equipment, or parts thereof, or ask for certain gear. For example, routers, Max boxes, Cisco routers cards (we have some which we don't use anymore, and others we may need), etc. The nznog list is not to be used for 'commercial' purposes... But it is silly if the NZ network managers could all benefit of trading used equipment, but we cannot use this mailing list for it. So, I would like to suggest that either this list is ammended to allow 'trading' of used network related equipment, or that we set up a separate list for this purpose. Comments?
