Hi, I am running Win XP Pro in Virtual Box 3.1.4 in Ubuntu.

The reason is two fold -

1. To get MSN Messenger with webcam working (Pidgin in Ubuntu is fine for everything else) - although I have just seen about emesene and so will give that a go!

2. To run iTunes and allow syncing with an iPod Touch

iTunes is installed and runs fine, but the big problem I have is that some USB devices are not being recognized (the webcam and the iPod).

They appear in the "Settings" section of Virtual Box, but in the Win XP session they do not even appear in the section at the foot of the screen (it says no USBs).

But the USB mouse and keyboard *DO* work. So there is clearly some USB functionality.

I am probably doing something really daft, but having spent the best (or worst) part of 6 hours on this yesterday, I need to put a general plea out.

Thanks in advance

Pardon me, but IPv6 is terribly confusing as of now. I wish to setup an Ubuntu machine with IPV6 to talk to a private IPv4 network. I do not need these machines to connect to the Internet. However, I read that there is no concept of a private IPv6 network.

So, how would I assign this machine an IPv6 address and (IPv4) DNS and (IPv4) Gateway IPs. Do I use a tunnel? If so, how do I assign it an IPv6 address? How can I configure it for DHCP IPv6 assignment? Does it need a separate IPv6 DHCP server? Sorry, lots of questions. Any help (and/or tutorials) in the right direction would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks!

as you may know that in windows you can not name a folder CON or AUX. i know why this is and why i was reading information about it i was wondering what would happen if i was to make a folder on ubuntu called CON and copied it to my windows computer.

I've got a citadel server set up with it's own internal ip address and I am having trouble getting it to receive email.

I have open the ports for SMTPS and IMAPS along with HTTPS, I want to use SSL wherever possible and I can access it externally with firefox and thunderbird and send email using SMTPS.

However, I cannot get it to receive email, sent email never arrived, which port is sent email received by and therefore which should I forward the MTA on my mail server.

I am currently using the citadel generated key, could that be the problem.

Hi.
Could I make an alias of this task?

I want an alias to move~/.sportstrackerto~/Documents/Software/SportsTracker_4.1.1and then zip it and name the zip file like thisSportsTrackerBackup_yyyy-mm-dd(example:SportsTrackerBackup_2010-03-08)

Note: I don't mind how the archive is compressed, 7z, rar, zip, tar, etc. Although the higher the compression the better.

Else, is there a way to automate this daily or once a week?

My notebook has only GMA950 IGP and for now I cannot play Heroes of Newerth Beta on Linux, it works only on windows because the card misses support for implementation of some GLSL classes. On windows Heroes of newerth uses combined DirectX + OpenGL and the game works. Additionally some users reports that game works better on wine then natively on non nvidia cards. That's why I'm trying to launch the game this way.

First of all i used winetricks to install d3dx9 and vcrun2005 as recommended for this game by appdb.
I'd like to know how can i overcome those errors:
Those are the errors showing continuously when the game runs. It works but frame rate is about one frame per 10 second. Additionally it have problems with textures on buttons. If someone could help I would really appreciate that.
