Hi,
What are your trying to do? I have found it easiest to
work on one thing at a time. There are plenty of people
on the list that will help you if you can't get it to work
after reading the howtos. You can use your Linux box to
connect to your ISP and share the connection with the
windows box. You can share printers and copy files back
and forth with samba. I started by getting the network
connection working
Here is what I did to get network up with my card. The
notes are from when I was running 6.0 but will give
you a place to start.
I am running RH 6.0 and it was incredibly simple
1. Install Network Card and attach to hub.
I use D-Link DFE-530 TX Cards the module
comes with RH 6.0 it is via-rhine
2. Put IP addresses and names in /etc/hosts
(You can actually do this with linux conf put
I did by hand)
3. Make sure /etc/host.conf has
order hosts, bind
make sure hosts.allow and hosts.deny are setup right
4. Enter linuxconf and go to Network configuration
Basic Host Assign Machine Name and
IP Address
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 or private addresses
5. check to make sure
alias eth-0 via-rhine
was added to /etc/conf.modulees (subsititute module you need for your
card)
6. Reboot Computer
7.should show starting eth0 and l0
type
ifconfig -a
should show eth0 and l0
ping 127.0.0.1
ctrl c to break out.
If you can not ping yourself you proably do not start network in sys
services
ntsysv
turn on network
reboot
try again. If it works Install on next computer.
8; try ping and the new computers ip address
What I did to get samba working:
1. Deleted NetBeui protocol from windows machines
set up user name and password to match unix login and password
2. set netbios name in smb.conf
3. set workgroup name in smb.conf
4. uncomment bsd printing line
5. uncomment encryption ( with shop will need to uncomment password as
mixed case)
6. populate smbpasswd
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/smbpasswd
set smbpasswd with smbpasswd command
7. set up file shares for zipdrive made change to etc/fstab for user
mounting of dos zip drives
8. start samba with /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start
9. change system services so samba will start on boot
Part of smb.conf file
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
<snip>
#======================= Global Settings
=====================================
[global]
# set the netbios machine name for the server
netbios name = A
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name

# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
printing = bsd
<snip>
# Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for
# all combinations of upper and lower case.
; password level = 8
; username level = 8
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd

# specifically define each individual printer
