Do you have your client IP addresses in your host file or lm host file ?

If not add them, I found that it would take a long time to connect to the
Qube
from client machines, It was trying to resolve to the Internet but adding my
client IPs to my hosts file cured that problem.

> 2. I want to get server side includes to work

The next bit is from the Cobalt Website and it works ! apart from the kill
bit, so just reboot here.
remember to name your SSI files with the extension of shtml

-----------------
To enbale SSI on your Qube, Telnet and login as root

edit the /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf file and un-comment(by removing the #) the
following line:

#AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

edit the /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf under the directory heading for your
directory , add Options Includes. This example will enable SSI for your home
directory:

Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch ExecCGI Includes

to enable .shtml mapping for the default page, edit
/etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf, and add index.shtml and home.shtml at the end of
this line:

directoryIndex index.html index.shtml home.shtml

now you will need to restart your Web server for the changes to take effect
you can do this by typing:

kill -1 `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`

**NOTE: the ` encasing the cat command is the tick on the ~(tilde) key, not
a quotation mark.

To enable SSI on your RaQ and have .shtml extension available for your base
page you need to telnet to your RaQ and login as root using the admin
password.

the following line:

#AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
2. Edit the /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf

Under the directory heading for your directory , add Options Includes. This
example will enable SSI for your home directory:

3. To enable .shtml mapping for the default page, edit
/etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf

If you just have your domain name i.e. mydomain.com in the   Receive email
addressed to these hosts/domains  on the email prefs
you will find any email that is not addressed to a user will be sent to
admin and a Error email will be sent to the sender.

I use the Linksys BEFSR41 with my Qube2 it works a treat (once the new
firmware was uploaded to it ;-)

Hope this helps.
