Help!!! Installed Redhat 7.1 dual boot with XP not working

[Help!!! Installed Redhat 7.1 dual boot with XP not working]

If you have installed Linux after XP installation and if you have chosen the boot loader to be written in MBR, this problem may arise.

 

If you have chosen lilo as boot loader follow this: [You can verify this by seeing the lilo prompt while booting]

Open the /etc/lilo.conf

 

Add the following entries

 

other=/dev/hd[x][y]

label=xp

 

where x can be a,b,c,d and y is partition number.

For example, If u hv installed XP on Primary Master disk and on partition 2, give it as

other=/dev/hda2

 

close /etc/lilo.conf

and then run

lilo

 

It should update the boot record.

 

After rebooting you will be able to see xp also in the boot menu.

[Connection timed out]

Hi,

 

I have written a socket program which connects to scs.yahoo.com(y! messenger service), but I get the "Connection timed out" error for connect() system call everytime.

 

Is there any system call available to increase the time out period ?

 

TIA!
