I installed xawtv on FC2, havn't created a .xawtv file in my /home/user directory yet, but even though it has created a menu item in KDE, when I click on it I don't get anything, just a bouncing cursor which fizzles out. I'll continue working on it. What I'm mainly concerned with, is why, having screwed up Tvtime, when I remove it, and reinstall it, it's still screwed up, and as far as I can see all config files were removed when I removed it, and the reinstall is done from the RPM that is in /var/cache/apt/archives, which should be clean and untouched. It's a bit annoying that if I want to watch TV on the computer, I have to use that other OS. Of course, I could just go upstairs and watch the TV, but it would be nice to get it going on the computer.

I was using xawtv for video capture from my analogue camcorder. I've just fired up tvtime, and it does look very similar. I'll try to find time to set up a capture and see whether I can get it working. I'll report back, but I can't guarantee that it will be tomorrow.

Thanks for that. it takes a snapshot ok, but the snapshot doesn't look like what I am seeing on the screen. Tvtime usually has a blue screen, and this is what the snapshot shows, but what I am seeing on the screen, is a screen composed of bluey green and pink horizontal lines, and probably the bottom 15% of the screen is a green pixel soup. I've no idea what I've done to screw up Tvtime. Removing it and reinstalling it just brings up the same mess. I'm beginning to think that as Win XP was the original preinstalled OS on this this machine, that it has jinxed it, so that I can only watch TV on it using XP.lol You've gotta just laugh sometimes, otherwise you'll go nuts.

If you are connected to the Internet what are you trying to determine? But if you are trying to find out the ip address to the modem and or router it seems to me using a traffic monitoring program like tcpdump, nmap or tethereal would allow you to find out the ip of machines you machine is communicating with. One of them must be at the ip of your router. You router should have a web interface that will tell you the ip assigned by the DHCP server of your ISP. That the technical people of your ISP can't tell you how to do this is very strange.
