[skunkworks] Gammu/Kalkun Inbox
by J.M.Sinja 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Hallo Techies, I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on vmware so I have gammu/Kalkun in the guest OS and I just cant view messages in kalkun inbox though I can send messages successfully. I am using safcom 3G zte MF637U modem. What might you think is the issue either gammu has issues with my modem or I have missed a setting in config? My log file shows error 2002 connecting to mysql.sock though I have mysql server installed. Kind Regards. Makhanu Sinja +254 (0) 72168 0868 | Twitter:@iMakhs Support and Resistance rule the markets.

As Motobaridi said, Pagers would be cheaper to roll over to the organization. But on your query You might consider setting up your own smsc in partnership with any network which is very possible and you get to allow numbers in the network use your smsc or try the powerful NGN technology Kind Regards.

Small Assistance on Linux Network Issue
by Cynthia Wahome 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hello All I am not an expert in Networking and hence i am posting this here for assistance. I have a CentOS Box which has 2 NICs My setup is as follows on the CentOS server. My WAN IP is 192.168.6.142/24 My WAN Gateway is 192.168.6.1/24 My LAN IP is 10.10.20.1/24 My server is able to browse the internet well. i have connected my laptop network port to the LAN port of the server. Laptop IP is 10.10.20.12/24 and i have put gateway to be 10.10.20.1 I am able to reach the gateway ie 10.10.20.1 from the laptop,however i cannot reach anything on the internet (e.g i am unable to ping 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8) Basically i cannot go outside to the internet. On the server,when i do a netstat -rn,i get the following output [root@linuxlearn ~]# netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.10.20.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 0.0.0.0 192.168.6.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 [root@linuxlearn ~]# I have not put a gateway on the LAN As you can see,the default route is OK. i would like to be able to access the Internet from my laptop. My questions are? 1)- Is there any config i have not done well or misconfigured? (My thinking is that my laptop should be able to go to the internet because the routing appears OK,however i stand to be corrected.) 2)- Do i need to do any NATing somewhere? Kindly give me your thoughts on this issue. Regards Cynthia
