But the CLI is the best tool for most jobs. You can do most things easier, faster, and more efficiently through the CLI than the GUI. There are some exceptions such as design and web browsing, but for most things that is true.

Since you're using Linus quotes, I decided to use one as well.

LMAO! this quote is awsome!

I'm a bastard. I have absolutely no clue why people can ever think otherwise. Yet they do. People think I'm a nice guy, and the fact is that I'm a scheming, conniving bastard who doesn't care for any hurt feelings or lost hours of work, if it just results in what I consider to be a better system. And I'm not just saying that. I'm really not a very nice person. I can say "I don't care" with a straight face, and really mean it.

That person must have a very thick accent. Linus pronounces it line us.

Configure multicast route on your machine for the media server to be found by clients, create a file /etc/network/if-up/fuppes with the following content (substitute the interface for the one you are using on your machine)

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#
# in this case eth1 is my WLAN interface change to match yours
if [ "" = "eth1" ]; then
        ip ro add 239.0.0.0/8 dev eth1
        /etc/init.d/fuppes restart &>/dev/null
fi

my ip is 192.168.10.2 now what do i do?

paintba||er · 05-24-2008, 03:40 AM

Just create the file it says with your favorite text editor, (you'll have to have root permissions) then copy and paste what that script. Then replace "eth1" with whatever the name of your interface is. (for example, it may be wlan0, or eth0) I don't think your IP matters for this.

IllBashU · 05-24-2008, 03:41 AM

how do i find out what my eth1 thing is?

edit i got it

Ethernet (eth0)

where do i put it after i make the script?

paintba||er · 05-24-2008, 03:42 AM

Umm...you could try "netstat --interfaces" to print a list of them.

IllBashU · 05-24-2008, 03:45 AM

Code:

Iface   MTU Met   RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR    TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg
eth0       1492 0    303699      0      0 0        216947      0      0      0 BMRU

where do i put the script when i make it?

paintba||er · 05-24-2008, 03:55 AM

You put it where it says: /etc/network/if-up/fuppes. And are you using WiFi or ethernet? If it's ethernet then it's probably eth0, or if it's WiFi then it's probably wlan0. lo is loopback.
