Maybe your linux box has a bad network card, or another box on the
network has the same IP or MAC address?

I've had routers go bad and kill the network. In fact I replaced an
ADSL router on Friday because of it killing the network card in the
only machine connected to it. I didn't realise it was the router until
I plugged the laptop in and couldn't get an address. All the lights on
both the machines and router were green, which should have indicated
everything was working.
Reseting the router by cycling the power made no difference as did doing
a hard reset with the button. There was just no way to access the
setup pages. A new router was an immediate cure.

Well the phrase 'getting internet back' is so woolly as to suggest a
fairly high level of technical ignorance in the poster..
If a machine on the network that shouldn't be involved in a connection
out screws it, the implication is its doing something like splattering
DHCP over everything and screwing up DHCP machines, or similar.
I lose internet in summer when I shut a cupboard door. Figure that one
out ;-)

Again, for the one who may not understand. I have an internal
network. Each device has its own IP. They are all connected to a
switch, which is connected to a router, which is connected to the
ISP's modem.
If the router went bad, it should not affect the internal network as
that never hits the router. The only time the router is hit is when
there is outgoing or incoming traffer from the internet. And, the
fact that everything on the internal network stops responding says it
is something on the inside........
And the fact that I pull that machine from the network and everything
works again says it is that machine causing the issue. Just not sure
what would cause that kind of network failure.
If the MB was bad, wouldn't the server crash, or have tons of errors
durnig operation? And even if it was, why kill the entire network??
Thanks!

Network Cards go bad as well ! They can and do, but in theory shouldn't
stop a network. Now you say you have a single machine that when
disconnected allows the network to resume, then the problem must lay
with that machine. In that case replace or fit a new network card and
re-test !

I'm not familiar with pcd files, but maybe they contain multiple images
like animated gifs do, and maybe you can tell imagemagick to convert the
nth image. Or you might try Gimp.

I've worked around graffix a lot, never heard of PCD though.
PSD or PCT, yes, but not PCD.
No sense in having an image at 'several densities' since you need the
whole file anyway.
Oh. Google says its a proprietary Kodak format - you need Photoshop and
a plugin.
Only saw proprietary converters on googling.
Amber cheap enough, but windows.
Oh
"PCD: Photo CD, from Kodak, uses this format. It includes several
resolutions within one file (so files tend to be very large) and is non
lossy. It usually requires special reading software. You'll need to
convert a PCD to some other format (specifying which resolution you
want) before you work on it. On Linux, a program called pcdtoppm can do
that, or there's a PCD gimp plugin."
Why am I doing your googling for you?

I need to use Windows to access an iPod Touch. I have Windows XP on a
hard-drive in an external USB-connectable enclosure (and Fedora 10 on
the internal hard-drive). I want to be able to boot to the external
hard-drive (when it's connected of course). Can grub be configured to do
this? I find the grub documentation rather impenetrable.

Really? Even if you start from the beginning? Try thinking of Grub as a
thing unto itself and see if that helps in understanding its
documentation. I would say GNU/Linux is _way_ more complicated than this
little bootloader.

The bigger question is whether Windows will boot to a "system partition"
on USB. IME, it will not. YMMV. If you are sure that Windows works with it
booted directly from USB (and its C: drive on USB), then I'm interested in
seeing how you accomplished that. IME, the only way Windows can be
have its system partition on a USB drive is when it is booted as a virtual
machine (say from VMWare).
Booting from USB means different things to different people. If you want
to load a bootloader from USB, then the only thing you need is hardware
compatibility. To begin using a Linux kernel and root filesystem stored on
USB may require a few more items.
If you were wanting to boot Linux with its root filesystem stored on USB,
then that is a different story. I know that works. I have written about
Grub and booting from USB before. It seems that Google is not doing as
good of job of indexing my posts as it used to do- I may need to start
building my own index. I did find this:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.setup/msg/836ea53a39efbb1e
I know there are more examples that I have written, but are "lost in the
ether today."

[Followup set to comp.os.linux.setup]
I've got this old computer that needs a hard drive,
and I was thinking that I could get an external USB
harddrive and boot a kernel from a CD (the BIOS doesn't support
booting from USB) pointing to the USB drive as the root device.
The old computer has a USB-1 bus and the USB hard drive would
be a USB-2 device. Is this a problem?
Thanks for any advice here.
