3 pieces lotus roots (peel ,sliced and wash)
1 large piece pork in bone for soup ( not ribs) blanch to remove fats
1/2 cup pitted red dates (soaked and wash)
2 pieces candy dates (wash)
5-6 pieces dried cuttlefish (wash)
salt to taste
4 liter water
some cut scallion for garnishing
1:Blanch pork in bone to remove fats.I used pork in bone because it's lesser fats than ribs. You can ask the butcher to get pork in bone by telling him you want to make soup.Prepare a large stock pot (5 quart) with water at high heat.
2: Peel ,sliced and wash lotus roots,add into the stock pot with pork in bone,cover pot with lid. Let the soup boil with lotus roots and pork in bone for 30 minutes or longer,then add in red dates,candy dates,dried cuttlefish. Reduce heat to medium low,let's the soup simmer for another 1 hour or longer, until soup color changed to light red.(I prefer to cook the soup longer)
3:Add in salt to your taste,then boil for another 15 minutes before shut off the heat.
4: Dish out and sprinkle with some cut scallion before serve warm.
Prepare cut lotus root and pork in bone to cook in stock pot

Former Northern Ireland player and manager Sammy McIlroy believes a victory over world champions Germany next week would be the greatest result in the nation's history.
Thursday night's 2-0 win over Ukraine in Lyon means Michael O'Neill's side will definitely qualify for the last 16 in their first European Championship if they can defeat Joachim Low's team in Paris.
Northern Ireland progressed beyond the group stages in both the 1958 World Cup and again in the 1982 version, when Gerry Armstrong's goal against Spain ensured they advanced.
McIlroy played at that tournament but he insists a triumph over Germany would top anything that has come before.
"We beat Spain in '82 to get to the second phase which was fantastic," he said.
"But when you look at European football today and you look at the group, with Poland and Germany, they are the top two dogs in the group.
"After beating Ukraine, if we can beat Germany, I think that will be the biggest achievement ever for a Northern Ireland side."
McIlroy, who was speaking on behalf of Vauxhall, Northern Ireland's team sponsor, was at the fanzone in Belfast to witness the scenes which followed goals from Gareth McAuley and Niall McGinn at the Stade de Lyon.
And the 61-year-old thinks O'Neill's squad have already achieved feats which will ensure they are remembered in the country for years to come.
"They still talk about what happened in the 80s and they will talk about these players now," McIlroy added.
"These players are heroes after doing what they've done and deservedly so. They've made everyone in Northern Ireland proud again of the national team.
"A lot has to be said about Michael O'Neill and how he has turned it around.
"We're not a little fish out of water in this group - no way after how we played last night. We're entitled to be in this group and we've nothing to fear, everyone knows that.
"With a little bit of luck you never know, we could even beat Germany on the day."
McIlroy held the post O'Neill currently occupies for three years and having experienced the pressure of international management first hand, he expressed his admiration for O'Neill's courage to make changes from the opening defeat to Poland.
"Michael was brave enough to make five changes from the first game and it really worked," McIlroy said.
"It gave everyone a lift, there was a little more energy in the team and it paid off. I think Ukraine were shaken by the attitude of Northern Ireland and the pressure they put them under.
"I knew right away that he was going for it, he had told his players he's got to win this game. Okay, it was a brave decision but managers have got to make brave decisions.
"Sometimes they come off, sometimes they don't, sometimes you get praise, sometimes you get stick, but Michael was brave enough to make changes and every one of those players that came in made a difference to the team."

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew urges Demba Ba to make a swift decision about future
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew insists the Demba Ba transfer saga must end soon after talks over a Chelsea move broke down.
Last Updated: 31/12/12 5:45pm
Chelsea officials held initial discussions with the 27-year-old's representatives but were unable to reach an agreement on any potential deal.
Senegal international Ba has a £7million release clause in his Magpies contract which becomes active on Tuesday, but Newcastle have tried to remove this hitch by offering the striker a fresh deal.
Manager Pardew is still hopeful Ba will not leave in the transfer window but admits Newcastle will withdraw the offer if he does not sign it soon.
"I feel a little bit sorry for Demba as well because I think people who are representing him are not actually representing him," he said.
"There are people out there who are fuelling this who are not actually involved, or want to be involved, and that's the world we live in.
"The contract is what it is. We are well aware of that and for me as the manager, I need it resolved as quickly as possible. That's the best situation for our fans and for the club."
When asked about the deal on the table for Ba, Pardew said: "Well I think the situation with that is that it's getting close to the point that we say no more, but the offer is still there."
The speculation about Ba's future has dragged on since the summer and Pardew admits the player will probably have the final say on whether he stays or goes.
"The first question I have had in here most weeks is about Demba. The way the contract was first drawn up has been hanging over us and I understand why it was at the time," he said.
"In this window, I would like to think he will stay in the situation we are in, but that will probably be his decision."
Ba, who joined Newcastle on a free transfer from West Ham in June 2011, already has 13 goals to his name and has also been linked with Arsenal, Tottenham, QPR and French giants Paris Saint Germain.

Walcott deal, not signings is Wenger's priority
Arsenal's FA Cup clash against Swansea is exclusively live on ESPN on Sunday. Click here for details on how to subscribe
Arsene Wenger has insisted he will not contemplate bringing in reinforcements until he has clarified Theo Walcott's future at Arsenal.
Arsenal have got their season back on track in recent weeks, with Walcott playing a key part in an advanced role. The England attacker's future is up in the air, as he is in the final months of his contract.
Wenger is hopeful of persuading Walcott to pen a new deal and that remains his priority, despite the Gunners being linked with new faces.
The Arsenal boss is unsure whether Walcott will sign a deal, but has maintained the club's desire is to thrash out fresh terms with the player he brought to the club from Southampton.
"It is difficult to be predictable in these kinds of situations, but I have always said our desire is to do it as quickly as possible," Wenger said ahead of Arsenal's FA Cup clash with Swansea, a game live on ESPN. "We are ready to do it."
Walcott has made it clear he sees his future as a central striker but Wenger does not know if that will influence the decision.
He said: "I believe he is ready to play up front, he enjoys it maybe more because it is a new experience for him and he is ready to do it. Whether it will play a part in his decision I don't know, only he can answer that question."
When asked about the prospect of bringing in fresh blood, Wenger said: "First of all, what I have said is that we have to make sure the players who are here stay here. After that we look outside, so let's try and finalise the deal with Theo Walcott and after if we need something else we will look outside."
Wenger also stressed that the hold up to the deal being agreed was not down to money.
"I don't think that Theo is only interested by money," Wenger said. "I do believe it would be positive for the moral of the team if we manage to sign him. We are ready to do it."

You need to use autofs. It is use to mount file system on demand. Usually autofs is invoked at system boot time with the start parameter and at shutdown time with the stop parameter. The autofs script can also manually be invoked by the system administrator to shut down, restart or reload the automounters.
autofs will consult a configuration file /etc/auto.master to find mount points on the system.
i) Install autofs if not installed. if you are using Debian / Ubuntu Linux, enter:
# apt-get install autofs
ii) Create dekstop group and add user jimmy to this group:
# groupadd desktop
# usermod -G video,desktop jimmy
# chmod -R a+rx /var/autofs/misc
iii) Configure autofs so that usb stick can be accessed:
# vi /etc/auto.misc
iv) Append following text to auto.misc:
usb -fstype=auto, user, sync, nodev, nosuid, gid=desktop, umask=002 :/dev/sda1
d -fstype=vfat, user, sync, nodev, nosuid,gid=desktop, umask=002 :/dev/hda2
- usb : Is directory name, which can be accessed via /var/autofs/misc/usb directory. User in desktop group just need to type cd command (cd /var/autofs/misc/usb) to change the directory.
- -fstype- auto, user, sync, nodev, nosuid, gid-desktop, umask-002 :- All these are options used to mount the file system by automounter.
- auto: File system is automatically determined by kernel.
- user: Normal user are allowed to mount devices
- nodev: Do not interpret character or block special devices on the file system.
- nosuid: Do not allow set-user-identifier or set-group-identifier bits to take effect. This is security feature.
- gid=desktop: This allows file system mounted as as group dekstop. As we have added user jimmy to this group already.
- umask=002: Setup umask so that users in group desktop can write data to device.
Please note that without gid and umask option normal user cannot write data to device.
v)Restart the autofs:
#/etc/init.d/autofs restart
vi) Test it as user jimmy (make sure usb stick/pen is inserted into usb port):
$ ls /var/autofs/misc/usb
$ cd /var/autofs/misc/usb
$ mkdir testdir
$ ls -l

simply beautifulwhen i was dropped off by friends at Soldier Field- i was AMAZED to see the LENGTH and WIDTH of the GA line - i thought i would be last at the back of the stadium- but no- I was quite close. I made a lot of friends around me - a couple of kids from Wisconsin who were at their first U2 show, and some people from Spain and Germany who were also at their first!!! I KNEW that they were in for something VERY, VERY special- just HOW special , i didnt know the full extent- let me tell you- EXTREMELY SPECIAL it turned out to be- AMAZING , AMAZING night.!!! the songs were ALL there- the performance was brilliant!!! I felt a LITTLE embarrased when Tutu was on the screen and I yelled "Streets!!! they're gonna play Streets", but they ended up playing One- oh well. I was in HEAVEN the whole time and on the El on the way to my hotel (I had to fly out EARLY the next morning for the first day at a new job) . It was a pleasure talking to fellow U2 fans on the El. Something else special at the show was the WHOLE FAMILIES there together to see our boys. I look forward to the day when I take my daughter. Bravo!!!! Bravo!!! 4 more shows to see summer of 2011 - CANNOT WAIT!!!

Great Show!Loved being there for the first ever performance of "Your Blue Room". "City of Blinding Lights", "Unforgettable Fire", "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "Where the Streets Have No Name", "Ultraviolet" and "Moment of Surrender" were amazing. Can't wait until Chicago and St. Louis this summer.

Baptized in FireI am baptizing my children in fire. This was my nine-year-old son's first concert. I ruined him. He will be disappointed with any show I take him to after this. We already have tickets to see the show again in Pittsburgh next year. This will be my eight-year-old daughter's first big concert. Moment of Surrender elevates the already fantastic finish to a magnificent show. This was instantly my favorite track on No Line on the Horizon. I am hoping to hear Drowning Man in Pittsburgh.

Just RememberingMy husband and I were together for almost 30 years and have been fans of U2 for just as long. There have been other chances to go to U2 concerts over the years, but for one reason or another, it just didn't happen. But for our 25th Anniversary, we flew to Chicago and saw U2 to celebrate. It was a magical evening made even more so because my sweet husband passed away last month. I am so glad we were there and U2, our band, was there to make such a memorable evening.

Worth ItA flight to Chicago, a long weekend with friends new and old, capped off by a VIP @ Soldier with U2...wonderful. Larry was driven by a Divine-inspired tempo this night, and many moments I felt myself simply carried into things by the beat. Crazy Tonight...fabulous. The enormous screen with the band's black and white faces moving to the beat...intoxicating! My friend wound up with bruises on her thigh from bouncing off the seats in front of us. We just couldn't hold still. The VIP treatment wasn't really worth the $ but the seats were wonderful. I did find myself wondering, though, how these guys, with millions of people watching them on tour, decide what "platform" to take, what message they want to get out. I've actually heard U2 fans say they're going to "church" when going to a concert. This makes me sad. If I were one of the band members, would I use my mic to spread the messages of Christ? Hard to say. I hope so. The best for me, though, was Moment of Surrender. I've had moments of my reflection staring back at me. Speeding on the subway through the stations of the cross...this song has stuck with me for months now. And I was treated to U2 on SNL singing this song for me again not long after this concert. I am returning to Chicago in July...see ya then, U2 guys!
08 November, 2009
simply amazing!I have been a U2 fan since my high school years. I am 34 now and came to live in the US from Poland 6 years ago. This was my very first concert - I WAS SPEECHLESS! and cheered my head off at the same time... :) This concert was like a great movie - all of a sudden you realize that it is almost over and you want more because it is so good and you cannot believe that it is about to end and you want it to go on!

Amazing.. Grace, Still Haven't found.., Stay. What a Sunday 'service' indeed. My 7-year old's first concert on his birthday, what a cool little kid - he sang along with everyone else. An experience I was thrilled to give him. THANK YOU for all of it, for putting your all out there. You instill gratitude. Peace.

Magnificent on the mile!Brilliant sounds and sights in the second city of blinding lights! It was the second time I've seen you perform live, and you've blown the top way off of the concept of a live show once again. It was special to me that you launched your North American tour from my beloved hometown. And although I live far away from Chicago now, it is a wonderful homecoming when I travel back to see the band with whom I've developed a 27-year love affair, one which began in this very city when I was just a kid trying to find my voice. You have become a fiber in the cloth of who I am and it was a special night to see you again, under the stars, sitting atop big shoulders. Can't wait for our next rendezvous... And as for the "space junk..." My sisters and I had 11th row seats in the section immediately behind the stage for the Sunday night show. Knowing how you have in the past been challengers to the traditional concept of how a live show should be staged, I knew being seated in that location would give us a unique experience. Your 360 concept gave us an amazing view and experience of the show - friends look at my photos and ask, "were you ON the stage with the band?!" We also appreciated the way you broke apart the concept of how a band presents itself to its audience...no permanent "lead", but a constant mingling and interchange of players, interacting with an audience that was ready to step up to the task of "5th member of U2!" Thanks for letting us into the mix for one night...a memory which I'm sure will be remembered by all who were there for a lifetime.

Crazy for Chicago!My best U2 friend and I headed up to Chicago on Saturday for a U2 weekend. While our tix were for Sunday, we decided to go to SF on Saturday to check out the area--wow, were we in for a treat! Got to hear the entire Saturday show (Bad sounded fantastic!), met lots of great U2 fans (who must be the nicest fans out there), and enjoyed the beautiful Chicago skyline adn weather. We returned Sunday for our show and it was beyond words. Besides seeing and listening to the guys, the best part of the evening was getting to see the joy and excitement on my friend's face--this was her first U2 concert (my 5th), and it did not disappoint. We are praying for a St. Louis show and plan on bidding on some red zone tix! Thanks to U2 and the entire staff and production crew for making our two nights in Chicago memorable forever!
17 September, 2009
Amazing show!For some odd reason, I can never, ever post on the board...always bounces me back to the front page. I'm not sure if it's only for premium members or what. Anyhow, this was my first time ever going to a U2 show after many attempts previously and it smashed my expectations due to getting GA tickets. We ended up so much closer than I ever could have expected and had an amazing time. The sound was wonderful and the spectacle was truly magnificent. A truly inspiring performance. Here are some pics and a short video of Stay that I took: http://www.flickr.com/photos/abellwillring/sets/72157622239412457/

What a stroke of fortuneBetween the time ai purchased my 4 general standing tickets and Sunday the 13th, I experienced a stroke. After much adue...mu family and I red-eyed it out from San Francisco and with the help of a truely caring staff (especially the lovely and valient Maurice), I ended up in the very front of the inner circle with in spitting distance from Bono's mic. AMAZING show. I cried through Walk On...I always do, but I was on "cloud Nine" Bravo to all involved, from the musical talent, to thr grntlrmsn who sold me hot dogs and had the grace to dance with me when I pleaded with him. CHICAGO IS my kind of town! AND U2 plus 2 Irish lads are worth every cent you make and all you give away (and it's a whole lot more th $$$$...Pure hope, joy, and inspirstionon is what I took home. Love and peace from San Frsncisco, CA Karen B. Peretto

Ill go crazy if I don't go to another u2I went to both shows in Chicago. Loved them both. Favourite song was Crazy. Simply awesome version. Can't stop watching it on you tube :) Ultraviolet beautiful live - takes me back to Zootv. Not sure which outfit I prefer though - Bono's laser light jacket or Macphisto's gold suit :) I can't wait to see them in NY and Tampa. Thanks so much for the music U2.
17 September, 2009
Worth The Wait!I have been asked over and over again, "How was the concert?" My response is always, "Beyond Words" followed by this gleaming grin that doesn't seem to stop. This was the first time I had ever been away with my honey and I wanted to say thank you for provideing us with such a memorable night. Your renditions of Stay, Your Blue Room and One had me in tears. The reminder of my wonderful family and the sheer energy of the show brought out my emotions. Also, thanks for getting out of the car and waving on Saturday Bono, this got us even more fired up for Sunday. We were from Green Bay inside Soldier Field the night of the Packer game and the Chicago fans were so friendly. U2 always takes care of their fans. This show is a must for any fan and we are hoping they return for a spring leg of the tour! Please return for a spring leg!
16 September, 2009
Back for moreSaturday night's show was absolutely beautiful. I intended to rest Sunday evening before returning to Pennsylvania but could not resist the urge to walk back down to the stadium. Seeing U2 live is always such a blessing. My moment of surrender occurred again when I looked around at the faces of the other fans. Everyone seemed to be feeling that unexplainable joy.
16 September, 2009
just amazing!!!!!Went to both shows and would ve gone to a million more. The whole experience from the beautiful weather, amazing skyline, awesome stage and the best band of all time just made it an absolutely perfect evening. I was throughly impressed with snow patrol. U2 will have a great tour and can't wait to they come back to Chicago.
16 September, 2009
Amazing Show!The concert on Sunday was amazing. The guys put on a great performance. I loved the new version of "Crazy Tonight" and "Streets With No Name" was terrific as always. I couldn't believe how great the concert sounded--I have never heard better sound at a concert. The "Spaceship" was awe inspiring--absolutely beautiful.
16 September, 2009
Great Show!!What can I say, Bono was AWESOME, and The Edge is the BEST!! And it was really nice to see Adam and Larry move around for once.The set list just kept going and going, I couldn't have picked better songs myself. Now with all that being said, I really could of lived with out the "Claw" it was impressive, but they really didn't need it. All ANY U2 fan wants is to hear the band.You guys said you wanted to get back to basic's and be close to your fans, but it just didn't feel that way ( and I had 5th row seats). Next tour could you guys just have a normal stage.I think your the BEST band ever!! Song wise you were a 10, stage wise, it was just ok. Good Luck with the rest of your Tour.
16 September, 2009

Had to returnSunday night, I decided to go jogging on the bike path along Lakeshore. All I could think about was Saturday's incredible show. When I returned to the city I went back to the stadium and sat on the grass, listening and watching the light display. I couldn't resist!! Although I was outside, it was still a very beautiful experience and I stayed until the end. Even though I couldn't see it, it was still fantastic!
15 September, 2009
Went crazy that nightAmazing show, so fun, loved it all, even the first hour of fighting for a cab after the show. (Second hour, not so much.) Wrote about the Chicago show and my quest for The Edge on blog@ www.adayinthewife.blogspot.com Only thing that would've made it better is if Muse would've opened instead of Snow Patrol. Sorry SP, saw you at Coldplay. You're fine, but Muse rocks my world. After U2, that is!

MEXICO CITY — X-ray machines at checkpoints in southern Mexico are capturing the ghostly outlines of a clandestine business worth billions a year, people packed tighter than cattle and transported like consumer goods in tractor trailers to the United States.
The machines in place for less than two years at two state police checkpoints have led to the two largest hauls of migrants, who pay anywhere from $7,000 to $30,000 for passage, depending where they start.
The United Nations estimates that smuggling migrants across Mexico's border with the U.S. alone is a $6.6 billion business annually, compared to an estimated the $10 billion to $29 billion in illegal drug running. The migrant smuggling estimate doesn't include another $1 billion paid by thousands of non-Mexicans to cross from Guatemala and travel north, according to a 2010 U.N. report on transnational crime.
The 513 people apprehended Tuesday in two trailers in the state of Chiapas, bordering Guatemala, represented at least $3.5 million in cargo. Another trailer filled with 219 people was discovered in January.
"As far as I know, this is the first time we've seen such big numbers, but it does confirm what we already knew," said Antonio Mazzitelli of the regional U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. "There are more and more people coming from all other regions of the world using the Central American and Mexican corridor to reach the North American market."
While the majority of migrants found Tuesday were Guatemalan, there were also Indians, Nepalese and Chinese.
Smuggling in decades past was the business of small independent operators who helped migrants cross once they reached the U.S. border. But evading U.S. authorities has become much more difficult with increased border enforcement in recent years. At the same time, Mexico's migrant routes have become much more dangerous, controlled by drug gangs that see new moneymaking opportunities in kidnapping and extorting those who cross their territory.
Hope is to gain work in the US
The harder the trip, the higher the price. Guatemalan officials, who estimate 300 to 500 undocumented nationals cross the border each day into Mexico, say those migrants are paying double what they did two years ago, as much as $10,000 for the hope of gaining work in the United States.
"According to the testimony given our staff, the cost of migration rises every day," Fernando Batista Jimenez, an investigator for Mexico's National Commission on Human Rights, said in an email. "Not only because of the walls, policies and legislation against migrants, but because of the ever-expanding presence of organized crime, given the lack of coordination among three levels of government to fight it."
Unlike those running drugs, guns or other contraband, people smugglers lose virtually no upfront costs when migrants are intercepted by authorities or escape.
By 2006, 95 percent of Mexicans crossing illegally into the U.S. were paying smugglers, according the U.N. report, which says that most migrants are now transported in trucks.
In the case of Mexico's southern border, no one can say exactly who the organized smuggling groups are. Some say that large transport rings operate separately from Mexico's brutal drug gangs, such as the Zetas or the Gulf Cartel, who stick to kidnapping and extortion.
Some say they are all in collusion, including authorities. Both local police and federal immigration agents have been arrested in recent raids on kidnapping operations in Reynosa, across the border from McAllen, Texas.
"It's clear that they're immigration agents, federal police, Zetas, maras, the whole gamut, along with local crime groups," said the Rev. Alejandro Solalinde, a Catholic priest who runs a migrant shelter in Oaxaca. "Those who make money off migrants are all part of the same mafia."
Immigration authorities in Chiapas said the migrants couldn't say where they crossed from Guatemala and wouldn't say how they contacted their smugglers, much less whether the smugglers were part of a larger organized group.
Clinging to ropes
Some suffered from dehydration after traveling for hours clinging to cargo ropes strung inside the containers to keep them upright, allowing more migrants to be crammed in.
Air holes had been punched in the tops of the containers, but migrants interviewed at the state prosecutors' office said they lacked air and water. The trucks were bound for the central city of Puebla, where the migrants said they had been told they would be loaded aboard a second set of vehicles for the trip to the U.S. border.
Loads of this size may have been crossing for some time. The difference now is that the blank white trucks passed through an X-ray machine and then took off, refusing to stop once authorities saw what was inside. They were chased about 10 miles (16 kilometers) until police cut them off.
Police arrested four people in the case.
"We don't know how many immigration checkpoints there were before that," said Hector Sipac, the Guatemalan consul in Mexico City, noting that any number of similar loads could have been waved through.
State authorities say they have had two checkpoints in Tuxtla Gutierrez with permanent X-ray machines for just under two years. A year ago, the federal government provided two more that are mobile and can be used around the state by the army, navy and immigration officers.
While the permanent stations have netted the largest groups of migrants, the mobile machines have caught loads of drugs and other contraband, plus smaller groups of migrants, said state government spokesman Jose Luis Coutino.
Still, nothing seems to stop people from seeking the American dream.
"We're seeing a rise in recent months. The apprehensions are happening almost daily, though this is the second large one," said Juan Jose Gonzalez, the head of the nonprofit group Southern Border Movement. "And each time the smugglers charge more to move people north."

Nonprescription Medicines and ProductsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
A nonprescription medicine-sometimes called an over-the-counter, or OTC, medicine-is any drug that you can buy without a doctor's prescription. But don't assume that all nonprescription drugs are safe for you. These drugs can interact with other medicines and can sometimes cause serious health problems. And if you take more than the normal or recommended amount, overdose may occur.
Some medicines should only be used by adults or older children. Be sure to read the package instructions carefully , or ask a pharmacist before giving any product to an infant or young child. If you are pregnant, always check with your pharmacist or doctor before using any nonprescription medicine, to make sure it is safe to use during pregnancy.
Carefully read the label of any nonprescription drug you use, especially if you also take prescription medicines for other health problems. Ask your pharmacist for help in finding a nonprescription drug best suited to your needs. Use these tips on how to avoid common medicine problems .
And find out the safest way to throw away medicines that are expired or no longer used. Use these drug disposal tips to help prevent people and animals from taking medicines that aren't intended for them:
- Find out if your local trash and recycle center, pharmacy, or hospital offers a medicine take-back program or a place to drop off medicine. Ask your pharmacist if he or she knows of one. These are two of the best ways to safely throw away medicines.
- If there is not a take-back program or drop-off box near you, follow these steps to throw away medicine with the rest of your garbage:
- Mix medicine with a substance that doesn't taste good, such as cat litter, sawdust, or coffee grounds. Do not crush tablets or capsules.
- Place the mixture in a container, such as a sealed plastic bag.
- Put the container in your household trash.
Some common nonprescription medicines include:
- Antacids and acid reducers.
- Bulking agents, laxatives, and stool softeners.
- Antidiarrheals.
- Cold and allergy remedies.
- Pain relievers.
These drugs can be very helpful when used properly but can cause serious problems if used incorrectly. The following tips will help you use common nonprescription drugs wisely and safely. In some cases, you may find that you don't need to take them at all.
Health Tools
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Antacids and Acid Reducers
Antacids are taken to relieve heartburn or indigestion caused by excess stomach acid. There are several kinds of antacids. Learn what ingredients are in each type so that you can avoid any adverse effects .
- Sodium bicarbonate antacids (such as Alka-Seltzer and Bromo Seltzer) contain baking soda. Avoid these antacids if you have high blood pressure or are on a salt-restricted diet. Alka-Seltzer contains aspirin, which is linked to Reye syndrome , a rare but serious illness in children.
- Calcium carbonate antacids (such as Tums) are sometimes used as calcium supplements. These products may cause constipation.
- Aluminum-based antacids (such as Amphojel) are less potent and work more slowly than other products do. They may also cause constipation. Some may cause calcium loss and should not be taken by women who are past menopause. If you have kidney problems, check with your doctor before you use aluminum-based antacids.
- Magnesium compounds (such as Phillips' Milk of Magnesia) may cause diarrhea.
- Combination aluminum-magnesium antacids are less likely to cause constipation or diarrhea than are aluminum-only or magnesium-only antacids. Examples include Maalox, Mylanta, and Riopan. Many of these types of antacids contain simethicone to help break down gas bubbles in your stomach.
- Antacids with alginic acid (such as Gaviscon) contain a foaming agent that floats on top of the stomach contents. This may help keep stomach juices from coming in contact with your esophagus.
Acid reducers decrease the amount of acid produced by the stomach. They help relieve heartburn. There are several types of nonprescription acid reducers on the market. Examples include H2 blockers (such as famotidine and ranitidine) and proton pump inhibitors (such as lansoprazole and omeprazole). Each has slightly different cautions for use. Read and carefully follow the instructions included with the package.
Antacid and acid reducer precautions
- Try to eliminate the cause of frequent heartburn instead of taking antacids regularly. For more information, see the topic Heartburn .
- Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking an antacid if you take other medicines. Antacids may interfere with the absorption and action of some prescription medicines. Also consult your doctor if you have ulcers or kidney problems.
- Do not use antacids for more than 2 weeks unless you have talked with your doctor about taking them on a long-term basis.
- If you have a problem with the function of your kidneys or liver, you should be careful using antacids. All drugs are broken down and removed from the body by the combined action of the liver and kidneys. If your kidneys are not working correctly, it is possible that too much of the drug will build up in your body.
- If you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before choosing an antacid. Some antacids have a lot of salt (sodium).
- Be careful when you take over-the-counter antacid medicines. Many of these medicines have aspirin in them. Read the label to make sure that you are not taking more than the recommended dose. Too much aspirin can be harmful. If you are pregnant, do not take aspirin or medicines that contain aspirin unless your doctor says it is okay.
- If you are pregnant, don't use antacids that have sodium bicarbonate (such as Alka-Seltzer) or magnesium trisilicate (such as Gaviscon).
Bulking Agents, Stool Softeners, and Laxatives
There are four types of products used to prevent or treat constipation: bulking agents, stool softeners, osmotic laxatives, and stimulant laxatives.
Bulking agents, such as bran or psyllium (found in Metamucil, for example) ease constipation by increasing the volume of stool and making it easier to pass. Regular use of bulking agents is safe and helps make them more effective.
Stool softeners (such as Colace and Docusate Calcium) soften the stool, making it easier to pass. Stool softeners can be most effective if you drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Osmotic laxatives, such as Fleet Phospho-Soda, Milk of Magnesia, or Miralax, and nonabsorbable sugars (such as lactulose or sorbitol), hold fluids in the intestine. They also draw fluids into the intestine from other tissue and blood vessels. This extra fluid in the intestines makes the stool softer and easier to pass. Drink plenty of water when you use this type of laxative.
Stimulant laxatives (such as Correctol, Ex-Lax, and Senokot) make stool move faster through the intestines by irritating the lining of the intestines. Regular use of stimulant laxatives is not recommended. Stimulant laxatives change the tone and feeling in the large intestine, and you can become dependent on using laxatives all the time to have a bowel movement.
There are many other ways to treat constipation, such as drinking more water. For more information, see the topics Constipation, Age 12 and Older and Constipation, Age 11 and Younger .
- Take any laxative or bulking agent with plenty of water or other liquids.
- Do not take laxatives regularly. They change the tone and feeling in the large intestine. And you can become dependent on using them all the time to have a bowel movement. If you need help having regular bowel movements, use a bulking agent.
- Regular use of laxatives may change your body's ability to absorb vitamin D and calcium . This can lead to weakened bones.
There are two types of medicines that help stop diarrhea, those that thicken the stool and those that slow intestinal spasms.
Thickening mixtures (such as psyllium) absorb water. This helps bulk up the stool and make it more firm.
Antispasmodic antidiarrheal products slow the spasms of the intestine. Loperamide (the active ingredient in products such as Imodium and Pepto Diarrhea Control) is an example of this type of preparation. Some products contain both thickening and antispasmodic ingredients.
Antidiarrheal precautions
- Use antidiarrheals if you have diarrhea for longer than 6 hours. Do not use these medicines if you have bloody diarrhea, a high fever, or other signs of serious illness .
- Read and follow all label directions . Be sure to take the recommended dose.
- Long-term use is not recommended. To avoid constipation, stop taking antidiarrheal medicines as soon as stools thicken.
- If your child or teen gets chickenpox or flu, do not treat the symptoms with over-the-counter medicines that contain bismuth subsalicylate (such as Kaopectate and Pepto-Bismol). If your child has taken this kind of medicine and he or she has changes in behavior with nausea and vomiting, call your doctor. These symptoms could be an early sign of Reye syndrome , a rare but serious illness.
- Ask your doctor if your child younger than 12 should take these medicines.
For more information on diarrhea symptoms and treatment, see the topics Diarrhea, Age 12 and Older and Diarrhea, Age 11 and Younger .
Cold and Allergy Remedies
In general, whether you take medicines for your cold or not, you'll get better in about a week. Rest and liquids are the best treatment for a cold. Antibiotics will not help. But nonprescription medicines help relieve some cold symptoms, such as nasal congestion and cough. Be safe with medicines. Read and follow all instructions on the label.
Allergy symptoms, especially runny nose, often respond to antihistamines . Antihistamines are also found in many cold medicines, often together with a decongestant.
Decongestants make breathing easier by shrinking swollen mucous membranes in the nose, allowing air to pass through. They also help relieve runny nose and postnasal drip , which can cause a sore throat.
Decongestants can be taken orally or used as nose drops or sprays. Oral decongestants (pills) provide longer relief, but they cause more side effects.
Sprays and drops provide rapid but temporary relief. Sprays and drops are less likely to interact with other drugs than oral decongestants are. Saline nose drops are not decongestants but may help keep nasal tissues moist so the tissues can filter air.
Your pharmacist can suggest a medicine for your cold and allergy symptoms.
Decongestant precautions
- Be careful with cough and cold medicines. Don't give them to children younger than 6, because they don't work for children that age and can even be harmful. For children 6 and older, always follow all the instructions carefully. Make sure you know how much medicine to give and how long to use it. And use the dosing device if one is included.
- Decongestants can cause problems for people who have certain health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, glaucoma, diabetes, or an overactive thyroid. Decongestants may also interact with some drugs, such as certain antidepressants and high blood pressure medicines. Read the package carefully or ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you choose the best decongestant for you.
- Don't use the ones for the nose longer than the label says. Continued use will cause a " rebound effect " in which your mucous membranes swell up more than before you used the spray.
- Drink extra fluids when you are taking cold medicines.
- If you are pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using a decongestant.
Steroid nasal sprays help relieve a stuffy nose also. They work in a different way than decongestant medicines work. And they don't cause a rebound effect. They start working quickly, but it may be several weeks before you get the full effect.
Cough preparations
Coughing is your body's way of getting foreign substances and mucus out of your respiratory tract . Sometimes, though, coughs are severe enough to impair breathing or prevent rest.
There are two types of coughs: productive and nonproductive . A productive cough produces phlegm or mucus ( sputum ). It's generally best if you don't try to stop (suppress) a productive cough. A nonproductive cough does not produce sputum. It is a dry cough.
Water and other liquids, such as fruit juices, are good cough syrups. They help soothe the throat and also moisten and thin mucus so it can be coughed up more easily.
You can make a simple and soothing cough syrup at home by mixing 1 part lemon juice with 2 parts honey. Use as often as needed. This can be given to children 1 year and older.
There are two kinds of cough medicines:
- Expectorants help thin the mucus and make it easier to cough mucus up when you have a productive cough. Look for expectorants containing guaifenesin.
- Suppressants control or suppress the cough reflex and work best for a dry, hacking cough that keeps you awake. Don't suppress a productive cough too much (unless it is keeping you from getting enough rest).
Cough preparation precautions
- Cough preparations can cause problems for people who have certain health problems, such as asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, or an enlarged prostate (BPH). Cough preparations may also interact with sedatives, certain antidepressants, and other medicines. Read the package carefully, or ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you choose.
- Cough suppressants can stifle breathing. Use them with caution if you are older than 60 or if you have chronic respiratory problems.
- Be careful with cough and cold medicines. Don't give them to children younger than 6, because they don't work for children that age and can even be harmful. For children 6 and older, always follow all the instructions carefully. Make sure you know how much medicine to give and how long to use it. And use the dosing device if one is included.
- Read the label so you know what the ingredients are. Some cough preparations contain a large percentage of alcohol, and others contain codeine. There are many choices. Ask your pharmacist to advise you.
- Avoid cold remedies that combine medicines to treat many symptoms.
- Avoid alcohol if you are taking medicine with dextromethorphan in it.
- If you are pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using a cough preparation.
Antihistamines dry up nasal secretions and are commonly used to treat allergy symptoms and itching.
There are two types:
- Older, first-generation antihistamines (such as chlorpheniramine and diphenhydramine). These may make you sleepy or make it harder for you to concentrate. They can also affect your coordination, even when they do not make you drowsy.
- Newer, second-generation antihistamines (such as cetirizine and loratadine). These have fewer side effects. Many of the newer antihistamines cause less drowsiness than older antihistamines or cause no drowsiness at all.
If your runny nose is caused by allergies, an antihistamine may help. For cold symptoms, home treatment and perhaps a decongestant will probably be more helpful. It is usually best to take only single-ingredient allergy or cold preparations, instead of those containing many active ingredients .
Products such as chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton) and diphenhydramine (Benadryl) are single-ingredient antihistamine products.
Products such as Coricidin, Dristan, and Triaminic contain both a decongestant and an antihistamine.
Antihistamine precautions
- Don't give antihistamines to your child unless you've checked with the doctor first.
- Use of antihistamines to treat the stuffiness of a cold will often thicken the mucus, making it harder to get rid of.
- Drink extra fluids when taking antihistamines.
- Avoid alcohol when taking antihistamines.
- Antihistamines can cause problems for some people with health problems such as asthma, glaucoma, epilepsy, or an enlarged prostate. Antihistamines may also interact with certain antidepressants, sedatives, and tranquilizers. Read the package carefully or ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you choose one that will not cause problems.
- When you take an antihistamine that makes you drowsy, the drowsiness usually decreases with continued use. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if the medicine still makes you drowsy or if the medicine isn't helping your symptoms after 1 week. You may want to try an antihistamine that doesn't cause drowsiness.
- If you are pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using an antihistamine.
Pain Relievers
There are dozens of pain-relief products. Most contain either aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen. These three drugs, as well as naproxen, relieve pain and reduce fever. Aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen also relieve inflammation. They belong to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) .
When you buy pain relievers, keep in mind that generic products are chemically equivalent to more expensive brand-name products, and they usually work equally well.
Aspirin is widely used for relieving pain and reducing fever in adults. It also relieves minor itching and reduces swelling and inflammation. Aspirin comes as adult-strength (325 mg) or low-dose (81 mg). Although it seems familiar and safe, aspirin is a very powerful drug.
Aspirin precautions
- Keep all aspirin out of children's reach.
- Aspirin increases the risk of Reye syndrome in children. Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 unless your doctor tells you to do so.
- Aspirin can irritate the stomach lining, causing bleeding or ulcers. If aspirin upsets your stomach, try a coated brand, such as Ecotrin. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to find out what may work best for you.
- Do not take NSAIDs if you have had an allergic reaction to this type of medicine in the past.
- Throw aspirin away if it starts to smell like vinegar.
- Because aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding, it is not recommended for new injuries. Take other medicines such as ibuprofen or naproxen for the first 2 or 3 days after an injury.
- If you take a blood thinner or if you have gout, talk to your doctor before you take aspirin.
- High doses may result in aspirin poisoning
(salicylism). To help prevent taking a high dose, follow what the label says or what your doctor told you. Stop taking aspirin and call a doctor if any of these symptoms
- Ringing in the ears
- Visual disturbances
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Rapid, deep breathing
- If you are pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking a pain reliever.
Other aspirin uses
In addition to relieving pain and inflammation, aspirin is effective against many other ailments. Because of the danger of side effects and the interactions aspirin may have with other medicines, do not try these uses of aspirin without a doctor's supervision.
Heart attack and stroke: Aspirin in low but regular doses may help prevent heart attacks and strokes in certain people. For more information, see:
Migraines: Regular, low-dose aspirin use may reduce the frequency of migraine headaches. For more information, see the topic Migraine Headaches .
Other pain relievers
Ibuprofen (the active ingredient in products such as Advil and Motrin) and naproxen (in products such as Aleve) are other NSAIDs. Like aspirin, these drugs relieve pain and reduce fever and inflammation. Also like aspirin, they can cause nausea, stomach irritation, and heartburn.
NSAID precautions (also see aspirin precautions)
- Do not use an NSAID for longer than 10 days without talking to your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor before taking NSAIDs if you have:
- Ulcers or a history of bleeding in your stomach or intestines.
- Stomach pain, upset stomach, or heartburn that lasts or comes back.
- Anemia.
- Bleeding or easy bruising.
- A habit of drinking more than 3 alcoholic drinks a day. This increases your risk of stomach bleeding.
- High blood pressure.
- Kidney, liver, or heart disease.
- Talk to your doctor before using NSAIDs if you take:
- Medicine (called a blood thinner) to prevent blood clots.
- Medicine to treat mental health problems.
- Medicine to decrease swelling (water pills).
- Medicine for arthritis or diabetes.
- Read and follow all the instructions on the medicine bottle and box carefully before giving your child ibuprofen. For more information, see Use of Ibuprofen in Young Children .
- Talk to your doctor before you give fever medicine to a baby who is 3 months of age or younger. This is to make sure a young baby's fever is not a sign of a serious illness.
Acetaminophen (the active ingredient in products such as Tylenol) reduces fever and relieves pain. It does not have the anti-inflammatory effect of NSAIDS, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. But it also does not cause stomach upset and other side effects.
Acetaminophen precautions
- The product's package label will tell you how many milligrams (mg) of medicine are in each pill or liquid dose, how much you should take; and how often you should take it. Do not exceed the dosage limits, and follow the instructions on the package if you have health problems that may make it unsafe for you to take the usual dosage of a product.
- Read and carefully follow all the instructions on the medicine bottle and box before giving your child acetaminophen. For more information, see Use of Acetaminophen in Young Children .
- Talk to your doctor before you give fever medicine to a baby who is 3 months of age or younger. This is to make sure a young baby's fever is not a sign of a serious illness.
- If you are or could be pregnant, do not take any kind of pain reliever unless your doctor has told you to. For more information, see Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy .

Network configuration(Redirected from Ping)
Related articles
This page explains how to set up a wired connection to a network. If you need to set up wireless networking see the Wireless network configuration page.
Check the connection
The basic installation procedure typically has a functional network configuration. Use ping(8) to check the connection:
$ ping www.google.com
PING www.l.google.com (22.214.171.124) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from wb-in-f105.1e100.net (220.127.116.11): icmp_req=1 ttl=50 time=17.0 ms ...
If the ping is successful (you see 64 bytes messages as above), then the network is configured. Press
Control-C to stop the ping.
If the ping failed with an Unknown hosts error, it means that your machine was unable to resolve this domain name. It may be related to your service provider or your router/gateway. Try pinging a static IP address to prove that your machine has access to the Internet:
$ ping 184.108.40.206
PING 126.96.36.199 (220.127.116.11) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 126.96.36.199: icmp_req=1 ttl=53 time=52.9 ms ...
If you are able to ping
220.127.116.11 but not
www.google.com, check your DNS configuration. See resolv.conf for details. The
hosts line in
/etc/nsswitch.conf is another place you can check.
If not, check for cable issues before diagnosing further.
Set the hostname
A hostname is a unique name created to identify a machine on a network, configured in
/etc/hostname—see hostname(5) and hostname(7) for details. The file can contain the system's domain name, if any. To set the hostname, edit
/etc/hostname to include a single line with
Alternatively, using hostnamectl(1):
# hostnamectl set-hostname myhostname
To temporarily set the hostname (until reboot), use hostname(1) from inetutils:
# hostname myhostname
To set the "pretty" hostname and other machine metadata, see machine-info(5).
Local network hostname resolution
The pre-requisite is to #Set the hostname, after which hostname resolution works on the local system itself:
$ ping myhostname
PING myhostname (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from myhostname (192.168.1.2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.043 ms
To allow other machines to address the host by name, it is necessary to either:
- Configure the hosts(5) file, or
- Enable a service which resolves the hostname.
To configure the hosts file, add the following line to
127.0.1.1 myhostname.localdomain myhostname
As a result the system resolves to both entries:
$ getent hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 myhostname.localdomain myhostname
For a system with a permanent IP address, that permanent IP address should be used instead of
Device driver
Check the status
udev should detect your network interface card (see Wikipedia:Network interface controller) and automatically load the necessary module at start up. Check the "Ethernet controller" entry (or similar) from the
lspci -v output. It should tell you which kernel module contains the driver for your network device. For example:
$ lspci -v
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev b0) ... Kernel driver in use: atl1 Kernel modules: atl1
Next, check that the driver was loaded via
dmesg | grep module_name. For example:
$ dmesg | grep atl1
... atl1 0000:02:00.0: eth0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex
Skip the next section if the driver was loaded successfully. Otherwise, you will need to know which module is needed for your particular model.
Load the module
Search in the Internet for the right module/driver for the chipset. Some common modules are
8139too for cards with a Realtek chipset, or
sis900 for cards with a SiS chipset. Once you know which module to use, try to load it manually. If you get an error saying that the module was not found, it's possible that the driver is not included in Arch kernel. You may search the AUR for the module name.
If udev is not detecting and loading the proper module automatically during bootup, see Kernel modules#Automatic module handling.
Network interfaces
Device names
For computers with multiple NICs, it is important to have fixed device names. Many configuration problems are caused by interface name changing.
udev is responsible for which device gets which name. Systemd v197 introduced Predictable Network Interface Names, which automatically assigns static names to network devices. Interfaces are now prefixed with
en (wired/Ethernet),
wl (wireless/WLAN), or
ww (WWAN) followed by an automatically generated identifier, creating an entry such as
enp0s25. This behavior may be disabled by adding
net.ifnames=0 to the kernel parameters.
Get current device names
Current NIC names can be found via
sysfs or
ip link. For example:
$ ls /sys/class/net
lo enp0s3
$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 08:00:27:23:6f:3a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Wireless device names can also be retrieved using
iw dev. See Wireless network configuration#Getting some useful information for details.
Change device name
You can change the device name by defining the name manually with an udev-rule. For example:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", NAME="net1" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="ff:ee:dd:cc:bb:aa", NAME="net0"
These rules will be applied automatically at boot.
A couple of things to note:
- To get the MAC address of each card, use this command:
cat /sys/class/net/device_name/address
- Make sure to use the lower-case hex values in your udev rules. It doesn't like upper-case.
If the network card has a dynamic MAC, you can use
DEVPATH, for example:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DEVPATH=="/devices/platform/wemac.*", NAME="int" SUBSYSTEM=="net", DEVPATH=="/devices/pci*/*1c.0/*/net/*", NAME="en"
The device path should match both the new and old device name, since the rule may be executed more than once on bootup. For example, in the second rule,
"/devices/pci*/*1c.0/*/net/enp*" would be wrong since it will stop matching once the name is changed to
en. Only the system-default rule will fire the second time around, causing the name to be changed back to e.g.
To test your rules, they can be triggered directly from userspace, e.g. with
udevadm --debug test /sys/DEVPATH. Remember to first take down the interface you are trying to rename (e.g.
ip link set enp1s0 down).
Reverting to traditional device names
If you would prefer to retain traditional interface names such as eth0, Predictable Network Interface Names can be disabled by masking the udev rule:
# ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules
Set device MTU and queue length
You can change the device MTU and queue length by defining manually with an udev-rule. For example:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="wl*", ATTR{mtu}="1480", ATTR{tx_queue_len}="2000"
Enabling and disabling network interfaces
You can activate or deactivate network interfaces using:
# ip link set eth0 up # ip link set eth0 down
To check the result:
$ ip link show dev eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master br0 state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 ...
Configure the IP address
You have two options: a dynamically assigned address using DHCP, or an unchanging "static" address. See also List of applications#Network managers.
Dynamic IP address
An easy way to setup DHCP for simple requirements is to use systemd-networkd service provided by systemd. See systemd-networkd#Basic DHCP network.
dhcpcd is the default client in Arch Linux to setup DHCP on the installation ISO. It is a powerful tool with many configurable DHCP client options. See dhcpcd#Running on how to activate it for an interface.
dhclient is the Internet Systems Consortium DHCP client. Enable the
email@example.com, where
interface is a wired #Device name. See dhclient(8) and dhclient.conf(5) for details.
netctl is a CLI-based tool for configuring and managing network connections through user-created profiles. Create a profile as shown in netctl#Example profiles, then enable it as described in netctl#Basic method.
Static IP address
A static IP address can be configured with most standard Arch Linux networking tools. Independent of the tool you choose, you will probably need to be prepared with the following information:
- Static IP address
- Subnet mask, or possibly its CIDR notation, for example
/24is the CIDR notation of
- Broadcast address
- Gateway's IP address
- Name server (DNS) IP addresses. See also resolv.conf.
If you are running a private network, it is safe to use IP addresses in
192.168.*.* for your IP addresses, with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 and a broadcast address of
192.168.*.255. The gateway is usually
192.168.*.1 or
To create a netctl profile with a static IP, set the
IP=static option as well as
Gateway, and
DNS. See netctl#Wired.
The systemd-networkd service provided by systemd can set up a static IP using a simple configuration file. See systemd-networkd#Wired adapter using a static IP.
Manual assignment
It is possible to manually set up a static IP using only the iproute2 package. This is a good way to test connection settings since the connection made using this method will not persist across reboots. First enable the network interface:
# ip link set interface up
Assign a static IP address in the console:
# ip addr add IP_address/subnet_mask broadcast broadcast_address dev interface
Then add your gateway IP address:
# ip route add default via default_gateway
For example:
# ip link set eth0 up # ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 broadcast 192.168.1.255 dev eth0 # ip route add default via 192.168.1.1
To undo these steps (e.g. before switching to a dynamic IP), first remove any assigned IP address:
# ip addr flush dev interface
Then remove any assigned gateway:
# ip route flush dev interface
And finally disable the interface:
# ip link set interface down
For more options, see the ip(8). These commands can be automated using scripts and systemd units.
Calculating addresses
You can use
ipcalc provided by the ipcalc package to calculate IP broadcast, network, netmask, and host ranges for more advanced configurations. An example is using Ethernet over Firewire to connect a Windows machine to Linux. To improve security and organization, both machines have their own network with the netmask and broadcast configured accordingly.
Finding out the respective netmask and broadcast addresses is done with
ipcalc, by specifying the IP of the Linux NIC
10.66.66.1 and the number of hosts (here two):
$ ipcalc -nb 10.66.66.1 -s 1
Address: 10.66.66.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.252 = 30 Network: 10.66.66.0/30 HostMin: 10.66.66.1 HostMax: 10.66.66.2 Broadcast: 10.66.66.3 Hosts/Net: 2 Class A, Private Internet
Tips and tricks
ifplugd for laptops
ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your Ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with onboard network adapters, since it will only configure the interface when a cable is really connected. Another use is when you just need to restart the network but do not want to restart the computer or do it from the shell.
By default it is configured to work for the
eth0 device. This and other settings like delays can be configured in
Bonding or LAG
See netctl#Bonding or Wireless bonding.
IP address aliasing
IP aliasing is the process of adding more than one IP address to a network interface. With this, one node on a network can have multiple connections to a network, each serving a different purpose. Typical uses are virtual hosting of Web and FTP servers, or reorganizing servers without having to update any other machines (this is especially useful for nameservers).
To manually set an alias, for some NIC, use iproute2 to execute
# ip addr add 192.168.2.101/24 dev eth0 label eth0:1
To remove a given alias execute
# ip addr del 192.168.2.101/24 dev eth0:1
Packets destined for a subnet will use the primary alias by default. If the destination IP is within a subnet of a secondary alias, then the source IP is set respectively. Consider the case where there is more than one NIC, the default routes can be listed with
ip route.
Change MAC/hardware address
See MAC address spoofing.
Internet sharing
See Internet sharing.
Router configuration
See Router.
Promiscuous mode
Toggling promiscuous mode will make a (wireless) NIC forward all traffic it receives to the OS for further processing. This is opposite to "normal mode" where a NIC will drop frames it is not intended to receive. It is most often used for advanced network troubleshooting and packet sniffing.
[Unit] Description=Set %i interface in promiscuous mode After=network.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/bin/ip link set dev %i promisc on RemainAfterExit=yes [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
If you want to enable promiscuous mode on interface
eth0 run enable
Swapping computers on the cable modem
Some cable ISPs (videotron for example) have the cable modem configured to recognize only one client PC, by the MAC address of its network interface. Once the cable modem has learned the MAC address of the first PC or equipment that talks to it, it will not respond to another MAC address in any way. Thus if you swap one PC for another (or for a router), the new PC (or router) will not work with the cable modem, because the new PC (or router) has a MAC address different from the old one. To reset the cable modem so that it will recognise the new PC, you must power the cable modem off and on again. Once the cable modem has rebooted and gone fully online again (indicator lights settled down), reboot the newly connected PC so that it makes a DHCP request, or manually make it request a new DHCP lease.
If this method does not work, you will need to clone the MAC address of the original machine. See also #Change MAC/hardware address.
The TCP window scaling problem
TCP packets contain a "window" value in their headers indicating how much data the other host may send in return. This value is represented with only 16 bits, hence the window size is at most 64Kb. TCP packets are cached for a while (they have to be reordered), and as memory is (or used to be) limited, one host could easily run out of it.
Back in 1992, as more and more memory became available, RFC 1323 was written to improve the situation: Window Scaling. The "window" value, provided in all packets, will be modified by a Scale Factor defined once, at the very beginning of the connection. That 8-bit Scale Factor allows the Window to be up to 32 times higher than the initial 64Kb.
It appears that some broken routers and firewalls on the Internet are rewriting the Scale Factor to 0 which causes misunderstandings between hosts. The Linux kernel 2.6.17 introduced a new calculation scheme generating higher Scale Factors, virtually making the aftermaths of the broken routers and firewalls more visible.
The resulting connection is at best very slow or broken.
How to diagnose the problem
First of all, let's make it clear: this problem is odd. In some cases, you will not be able to use TCP connections (HTTP, FTP, ...) at all and in others, you will be able to communicate with some hosts (very few).
When you have this problem, the
dmesg's output is OK, logs are clean and
ip addr will report normal status... and actually everything appears normal.
If you cannot browse any website, but you can ping some random hosts, chances are great that you're experiencing this problem: ping uses ICMP and is not affected by TCP problems.
You can try to use Wireshark. You might see successful UDP and ICMP communications but unsuccessful TCP communications (only to foreign hosts).
Ways of fixing it
To fix it the bad way, you can change the
tcp_rmem value, on which Scale Factor calculation is based. Although it should work for most hosts, it is not guaranteed, especially for very distant ones.
# echo "4096 87380 174760" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem
Simply disable Window Scaling. Since Window Scaling is a nice TCP feature, it may be uncomfortable to disable it, especially if you cannot fix the broken router. There are several ways to disable Window Scaling, and it seems that the most bulletproof way (which will work with most kernels) is to add the following line to
/etc/sysctl.d/99-disable_window_scaling.conf (see also sysctl):
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0
This problem is caused by broken routers/firewalls, so let's change them. Some users have reported that the broken router was their very own DSL router.
More about it
This section is based on the LWN article TCP window scaling and broken routers and a Kernel Trap article: Window Scaling on the Internet.
There are also several relevant threads on the LKML.
Realtek no link / WOL problem
Users with Realtek 8168 8169 8101 8111(C) based NICs (cards / and on-board) may notice a problem where the NIC seems to be disabled on boot and has no Link light. This can usually be found on a dual boot system where Windows is also installed. It seems that using the offical Realtek drivers (dated anything after May 2007) under Windows is the cause. These newer drivers disable the Wake-On-LAN feature by disabling the NIC at Windows shutdown time, where it will remain disabled until the next time Windows boots. You will be able to notice if this problem is affecting you if the Link light remains off until Windows boots up; during Windows shutdown the Link light will switch off. Normal operation should be that the link light is always on as long as the system is on, even during POST. This problem will also affect other operating systems without newer drivers (eg. Live CDs). Here are a few fixes for this problem.
Enable the NIC directly in Linux
Follow #Enabling and disabling network interfaces to enable the interface.
Rollback/change Windows driver
You can roll back your Windows NIC driver to the Microsoft provided one (if available), or roll back/install an official Realtek driver pre-dating May 2007 (may be on the CD that came with your hardware).
Enable WOL in Windows driver
Probably the best and the fastest fix is to change this setting in the Windows driver. This way it should be fixed system-wide and not only under Arch (eg. live CDs, other operating systems). In Windows, under Device Manager, find your Realtek network adapter and double-click it. Under the "Advanced" tab, change "Wake-on-LAN after shutdown" to "Enable".
In Windows XP (example):
Right click my computer and choose "Properties" --> "Hardware" tab --> Device Manager --> Network Adapters --> "double click" Realtek ... --> Advanced tab --> Wake-On-Lan After Shutdown --> Enable
Newer Realtek Linux driver
Any newer driver for these Realtek cards can be found for Linux on the realtek site (untested but believed to also solve the problem).
Enable LAN Boot ROM in BIOS/CMOS
It appears that setting Integrated Peripherals --> Onboard LAN Boot ROM --> Enabled in BIOS/CMOS reactivates the Realtek LAN chip on system boot-up, despite the Windows driver disabling it on OS shutdown.
No interface with Atheros chipsets
Users of some Atheros ethernet chips are reporting it does not work out-of-the-box (with installation media of February 2014). The working solution for this is to install backports-patchedAUR.
Broadcom BCM57780
This Broadcom chipset sometimes does not behave well unless you specify the order of the modules to be loaded. The modules are
broadcom and
tg3, the former needing to be loaded first.
These steps should help if your computer has this chipset:
- Find your NIC in lspci output:
$ lspci | grep Ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
- If your wired networking is not functioning in some way or another, try unplugging your cable then doing the following:
# modprobe -r tg3 # modprobe broadcom # modprobe tg3
- Plug your network cable in. If this solves your problems you can make this permanent by adding
tg3(in this order) to the
MODULESarray in
MODULES=".. broadcom tg3 .."
- Rebuild the initramfs:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
- Alternatively, you can create an
softdep tg3 pre: broadcom
Realtek RTL8111/8168B
# lspci | grep Ethernet
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
The adapter should be recognized by the
r8169 module. However, with some chip revisions the connection may go off and on all the time. The alternative r8168 should be used for a reliable connection in this case. Blacklist
r8169, if r8168 is not automatically loaded by udev, see Kernel modules#Automatic module handling.
Another fault in the drivers for some revisions of this adapter is poor IPv6 support. IPv6#Disable functionality can be helpful if you encounter issues such as hanging webpages and slow speeds.
Gigabyte Motherboard with Realtek 8111/8168/8411
With motherboards such as the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, booting with IOMMU off (which can be the default) will cause the network interface to be unreliable, often failing to connect or connecting but allowing no throughput. This will apply not only to the onboard NIC, but any other pci-NIC you put in the box because the IOMMU setting affects the entire network interface on the board. Enabling IOMMU and booting with the install media will throw AMD I-10/xhci page faults for a second, but then boot normally, resulting in a fully functional onboard NIC (even with the r8169 module).
When configuring the boot process for your installation, add
iommu=soft as a kernel parameter to eliminate the error messages on boot and restore USB3.0 functionality.

Nellie Bly: A Closer Look
Nellie Bly is most famous for her extraordinary trip around the world. This journey was undertaken by Bly in an attempt to challenge the record of Jules Verne's character Phileas Fogg in the novel "Around the World in 80 Days." In 1889, a time when a woman's place was considered to be the home, Bly's travels had her as a passenger of ships, trains, rickshaws, camels, and even burros. Bly did beat Fogg's record: in just 72 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes, Bly returned to a crowd of cheering people.
This isn't all that earned Bly her fame. She was a leader in women's equality and this sometimes gets overshadowed by her exciting trip around the world. So what do you need to know about Nellie Bly to realize she's one of the most awesome ladies in history? Actually, quite a lot. She was a leader in investigative journalism with a spirit that couldn't be tampered or toned down by anyone. This 300 piece puzzle turns into a game board - a fun way to play and learn all about the adventures of Nellie Bly!"
Elizabeth Jane Cochran, the thirteenth and most rebellious child of the wealthy landowner, judge, and businessman Michael Cochran, would someday grow up to be a famous journalist under the pseudonym Nellie Bly (a name she chose from the Stephen Foster song). Bly's family fell into financial ruin when her father died when she was just six years old, leaving behind no will to protect the children of his second wife, including Bly and four of her siblings.
From an early age, Bly was not afraid of controversy or standing up for women. She testified against her mother's second husband during their divorce trial about his abuse and alcoholism. She attempted to find an independent living for herself that would also help her support her mother and went to train to become a teacher at age 15, but was forced to give it up after only one semester because of insufficient finances. Bly worked for a few years in jobs that brought her little money and no recognition. Then, incensed by an article written by popular columnist Erasmus Wilson on how women belonged in the home cooking and sewing and the like, going as far as to call the working woman a "monstrosity," Bly was compelled to write in an angry, spirited response signed "Little Orphan Girl." Her fiery attitude and well-reasoned response actually impressed the editors; Wilson wrote an open letter to "Little Orphan Girl" to get her to present herself. She did, and was hired.
But this wasn't yet a major breakthrough for women. After a few stories that contained substance, the editors demoted Bly to write on the things they deemed appropriate for a woman because her exposé on the conditions of female factory workers upset factor owners. Her new assignments were on flowers and cotillion dances. Bly found this unacceptable; she continued writing stories with meaning, but was rejected. She even traveled down to Mexico and reported on its culture and exposed political corruption, but this merited nothing. Her frank reporting was getting her in trouble.
Fed up, Bly quit, writing a simple two weeks notice to Wilson and made her way to New York City, telling him to "look out for her." Wilson couldn't have missed her if he tried. In New York, Bly searched for six months until Joseph Pulitzer (of the Pulitzer Prize) hired her for New York World. Her first assignment was to write a feature story about the conditions inside the local insane asylum on Blackwell's Island. One of the first reporters to go undercover for a story, Bly made up an entire identity, faked insanity, fooled the psychiatrists, and got herself admitted. She stayed there for ten days. Her articles on the asylum shocked everyone, revealing the abusive conditions these women were forced to live under, such as ice cold baths, cruel beatings, and meals made with rancid butter. It caused an absolute media frenzy and secured an $850,000 increase in the budget of the Department of Public Charities and Corrections and a reform of the institution. Bly's work was finally starting to get the attention it deserved. She was a founding mother of investigative journalism, but she didn't stop there. She got herself landed in jail and hired by a sweatshop to uncover injustices and poor treatment of the vulnerable, voiceless people in those places. An advocate for social justice and a voice for the disenfranchised, Bly reported on corruption, shady lobbyists, and inadequate medical care given to the poor.
Her report on the Pullman Railroad Strike in Chicago was the sole article to give a voice to those that were actually on strike. She always injects personality into her stories, giving her reactions, feelings, and observations along with the facts. At 30, Bly retired and happily married industrialist 70-year-old Robert Seaman. When he died ten years later, she became president of a steel manufacturing company and became a leading female industrialist of the time, setting a precedent for working conditions that included ensuring fair pay and health care. There are alternate claims, but some believe she went and invented the steel barrel that became the model for the widely used 55-gallon drum (others think the credit belongs to a man named Henry Wehrhahn). She did, however, invent a stacking garbage can and a novel milk can. Eventually, however, the business went bankrupt due to embezzlement by employees. She returned to reporting and helped find homes for abandoned children, wrote on the 1913 Women's Suffrage Convention, and stories Europe's Eastern Front during WWI. Basically, Nellie Bly did more than many of us can ever hope to do in terms of pioneering. And she did it in a time when it seemed even more impossible.
But she remains an model of encouragement: in the present, women's issues are at the forefront of our attention, and it's inspiring to be reminded that with a determined, blazing spirit, we can make things happen and change the world. Full texts are available if you are interested in reading Nellie Bly's famous article on the asylum.

You may remember PowerBuilder as a popular tool for client-server application development in the 1990s. Times have changed since then, and PowerBuilder has evolved through the years as well. In fact, Sybase announced a new version of PowerBuilder that completely supports .NET development. This not only provides a migration path for existing PowerBuilder application developers, but provides a cost-effective .NET development environment with many unique features.
With this release, you can use PowerBuilder and its scripting language to build .NET compatible assemblies that can be deployed with other assemblies, regardless of the language they were built with. There are two IDEs supported: the first is the classic PowerBuilder IDE used to build native Win32 applications, and the second IDE -- new to this release -- is based on the Visual Studio shell. With this, Sybase has achieved its main goal of providing a migration path to the latest in .NET development for existing customers.
Another goal is to make PowerBuilder the best .NET environment and development language available. As mentioned above, the PowerBuilder scripting language is a managed coding environment that can produce and consume .NET assemblies. However, due to its powerful language features, developers can achieve the same .NET functionality with PowerBuilder with far less code when compared to other .NET languages such as C++ or C#. Further, thanks to PowerBuilder's award winning and patented DataWindow, application database access is simplified and requires far less code.
Sybase is targeting not only core .NET developers, but also business users, product managers, and others that do not have a traditional programming background.
