A bit OT Doug but I have the same MB and I yesterday tried to get sound working. Sound does not show up in lspci. What does your box show in lspci?

The other thing I forgot to suggest is that you may find packages installed as part of base that you don't want either. I find I can pare base down quite a bit. Doug.

Sound works fine for me (Debian Etch). Remember to install: alsa-base alsa-utils Read the man pages and run alsa-conf Here's my lspci: Sound doesn't show up there either.

No real difference, it created a /root/.Xauthority file and said: X:warning process set to priorty -1 instead of requested priority 0 then I got the same errors as in my original post.

I tried the redirection on no-ip.org, which is I think the thing that you provided the link for. But this service just forwards the URLs to a non-80 port. I think it also puts the "http://" prefix someplace in the domain name during the redirection. In any case, it does not work with ssh connections, the attempt times out. The problem is not that port 80 of a destination is blocked. The problem is that the source gateway allows packets to *only* port 80 to the WAN. BTW, is there a tool which lets me run a command shell within a browser window? That would work on port 80. ->HS

Maybe I'm missing something, but as I understand it, the service can redirect any host/port combination to any other. An example given is: http://myhost.dyndns.org/ redirects to http://myserver.dyndns.org:8080/ Isn't that what the OP wants?
