[newbie] Network question
Good day all I am having a problem with my network! After about two or three hours of linux being up I can't speak to my linux box from another machine, or from another machine to my linux box. What I have noticed is that when i try and ping a box from linux it reports an error connect: no buffer space available. Can anybody tell me what this means?

BUT, when something that works stops doing so, and I haven't intervened in any way, the first thing I blame is msec. Msec has changed permissions on me so many times that I automatically disable it for a test when stuff that just works quits working after an hour or so. Go to /usr/sbin and find msec. Rename it to OLDmsec and save the file. If your problem goes away, you will know it was msec changing permissions. If it doesn't, go back and rename your msec (you need to do this in any case, if you want to use msec). Msec is your first bastion of security, and if you don't understand permissions you won't want to leave it disabled. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] 'nother newbie network question.
Hi again, and thanks to everyone who helped me with my last network question. I suppose this one might be actually more of a Windows question than a Linux question, but here goes. I have a home network of 2 PCs. One is running mandrake 10, the other Win XP. Linux, bless it, has no problems finding all the shared files on the XP machine. Windows, curse it, doesn't seem able to see the Linux machine at all. On the Linux machine, I've installed samba and set some files as able to be shared on the network, but I just can't get windows to see them. I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me to sort this out. - Oh, and a second networky question. Via Linbourhood, my Linux machine correctly detects the windows machine's HP 690C printer. But when I try to print anything to it, or to configure it via CUPS, I just get the messate that no printer is detected. Any advice on how to get a printer on another machine working would be much appreciated. I'm sure more questions will follow... I love this operating system, but it's HARD!!

By default the shorewall firewall blocks all traffic from both the Internet, and the local network into the Linux box Also if you have configures samba to allow users to access their home directories on Linux, then you will need to run as root smbpasswd -a user_name where user_name is the name of a user that exits in both Windows and Linux. the password you give is the **Windows** password for that user. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

From: rikona [EMAIL PROTECTED] LW And when you're ready, post those necessary Windows progs and LW we'll point you to the replacements. I would love to find a replacement for DTsearch. It indexes disk files with most popular formats (txt, doc, xls, pdf, and many others), and can perform sophisticated searches (multiple proximity, for example) to find content in this collection of files. The found items are listed, and the search text can be viewed (in whatever format) as each document is highlighted. It is FAST, too - 50,000 files/10+ gigs in 1 sec! I asked about his before, but nobody came up with a real equivalent. Still looking and hoping... Have you looked into htdig (http://www.htdig.org/)?

I did check this out in my earlier quest. It's a good start, but the details make it a much less effective tool. It does only html and text, although more formats are promised. The search options are good, but lack the critical proximity search which is, IMHO, the most useful part. The search results are presented in a Google-style format showing the context, but you must open an app to look around. In DTsearch, you can look inside without opening an app, so it is typically MUCH faster to use. The index files in dig are larger than the original documents, so you fill up disk space fast. TDsearch has indices that are smaller than the files, but are still rather large. I note that SDSU, where it was/is developed, has stopped using dig and now uses Google. :-) Again, thanks.

[newbie] Newbie network question
Hi, I'm new to Linux (Just got my copy of mandrake 10 this morning). I managed to partition my hard drive and install Mandrake with no problems (amazing, for a newbie klutz like me). So far I really like the system - if it wasn't for a few vital programs that have no Linux equivalent, I would wave goodbye to windows forever. Anyway, here's my question: I have two PCs in a LAN. One is my Newbie Linux machine, the other runs Windows XP. The Linux machine can see and transfer the files on the Windows machine with no trouble at all, which is great. But the Linux machine seems to be invisible to the Windows machine. I'd be *really* grateful if someone can give me any tips how to fix this. Am I right in assuming that I have to set up the Linux machine as a Samba server (if that's the right term)? As a second question, is there any easy way to make the Linux machine 'see' the windows partition on its own hard drive, so as to transfer files etc. Please be gentle with me! My total knowledge of Linux so far only comes from an hour or so looking at the manuals. Many thanks, John Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Network question
you'd need to arrange for the gateway to your lan to forward telnet requests to that particular machine, or connect to the gateway and then connect to the internal machine from there, assuming your gateway is also a firewall i wouldn't personally do that, however the most important thing is that whatever you do you should not be using telnet if you can possibly help it, use ssh instead, it uses port 22 and this is the port that needs to be forwarded, the hows and wherefores of the forwarding itself will depend a bit on your network topology and the os involved if you need a windows prog that can be a ssh client, then i suggest 'putty' it's small and you can run it standalone on a windows box bascule On Monday 16 Jun 2003 10:04 pm, Patrick Coffey wrote: Hello, I have a quick question, I just recently got rid of my cable modem and now get internet access through my LAN, but now I have a local IP address (I.E. 192.168.0.22) So I'm wondering how would I telnet into my computer from outside the LAN.

RE: [newbie] Network question....I think.
I refuse to use the mandrake control center for setting up network or dialup.. it makes to many assumptions.. like that I wanted to setup dymanicIP instead of manually giving my machines at home IP address statically.. I have 3 PC's and the linux box at home, thats hardly enough to warrent dhcp you are better off with linux conf for your network connections, then edit the /etc/sysconfig files to enable nat and stuff.. then load a firewall that can do the nat for you, (gShield is a good one) or just add the rules to the end of rc.local if you like. much easier then dicking around with the mandrake center. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Matt Greer Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2001 6:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Network questionI think.

For the first three months I have had a single IP, can't remember what it was now, 65. somthing, well today I have noticed my host is now called dhcp 19-43! What happened? Is this something I installed on linux or is this something RoadRunner would have done? Could this be related to my earlier unansweared post about netscape noticing my windows partition? I am clueless about the way all this network stuff works. I can connect and thats about it...lol.
