[newbie] connection sharing and file sharing
Hi, I have a Mandrake 8.2 machine connected to the internet. It´s sharing its internet connection to a win2000 machine using DHCP. Eth1 is connected to the internet and eth0 is used for connection sharing. I need to access the windoze files from Linux. Do I need the Samba server or just the client? How should I configure it?

Re: [newbie] Connection sharing/samba problem
OK I set it back. I do not understand much about networking, but a windows network skilled friend is coming over. What do I need to tell him to get the configuration right? And does anyone have a good link explaining stuff för him?

[newbie] OT: saving the power supply unit
I know this is out of topic, but with linux I have the choice not to turn the computers off or restart them to often. What is best for the psu, having the computer running constantly or turning it off everytime you don´t use it (several times a day)?

[newbie] connection sharing and network with samba
I had my internet sharing working perfectly. Then I wanted to set up the firewall using wizdrake. I ran the network wizzard like I had to before running the firewall wizard. And when I was finnished there was no more internet sharing. Can I have a connection sharing not using DHCP? I only have one machine connected to the linux box. Or is it possible for the linux network to use the automaticly assigned ip-number from the connection sharing? Any suggestions on how to get my network using both connection sharing and SAMBA?

[newbie] connection sharing partly blocked
I have my connection sharing working almost prefectly. The only problem is with a windows program called "direct connect". It is a p2p program. When I run it with windows connected directly to the internet it runs perfectly, but connected through linux with firewall stopped it cannot reach out to search. Is there a way to make the linux connection sharing completely transparent? Thanks in advance, Stojs Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] programs running on wine
I have now decided to have a go with linux. Not all the way since I would not trust it to run 3ds max like I would like it to. I bought the mandrake 8.1 power pack.

[newbie] Firewall and win
I have a lan connection to the internet and would like to have one smoothwall linux firewall computer connected to the internet. This smoothwall would be connected to a mandrake linux computer wich would be connected to a win2000 machine. Is it possible to have the windows computer totally shut off from the internet exept for one program (direct connect)? If it ispossible, is it a good choice? Would it be better to have mandrake run a firewall, and skip the smoothwall machine? Or should I have a firewall in the windows machine instead?

[newbie] filesharing with windows (samba)
Now I have set up a samba server but there are still some problems. When I click home directory I get a network icon in the left field. Under that is ftp archive, local network and web sites. I guess my windows machine should show up under local network. But what I get there is just "could not connect to host localhost". Am I looking in the wrong place or is it a configuration problem? >From the windows side I can find the linux machine and read/write in the samba-public folder.The problem is that I can not write in samba-public folder from within linux. How do I share another folder? And is it possible to get read/write access to the samba-public folder? Thank you all for being so helpful, Stojs Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] hostname
When running the server wizard from wizdrake I get stuck on hostname. The text sais if you will only have intranet any valid name is ok, like company.net. I tried using that name but it was not correct. Do I have to pick a host name from somewhere else on the system? Or does my internet connection make the wizard assume that I am trying to configure an internet server? What makes a hostname valid? Do I have to use a domain name as well?

[newbie] Linux to Windows connection problem
Thanks a lot for the warm welcome I got on this list. I want my linux machine connected to the internet on eth0. Eth1 I want connected to my windows machine. At least one of them should have read/write permission on the other. I do not wish to share the internet connection. The windows machine is win 2000 pro with ip 192.168.0.1 and the linux is mandrake 8.1 with ip 192.168.0.2. They both use subnet mask 255.255.255.0. When I ping the linux from windows I get an ok message (100% ok, 0% dropped) but when I ping from linux it keeps on pinging forever. Does this mean that only one of my machines is misconfigured, and if this is the case, wich one? Does anyone have any idea on how to fix it? If I want only one of them to read/write on the other, could I live with this or do I have to fix it? Soon to be qualified to be a newbie, Stojs Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
