Re: [newbie] networking
From: Lloyd Osten [EMAIL PROTECTED] So where do I go from here? That they can ping is good. Where you need to go from here is to set up Samba, which will let your win98 box see files/printers/etc on your Linux box, and smbclient, which will do the same for your Linux system. There's an excellent step-by-step guide to setting up Samba; I'll try to e-mail it when I get home from work tonight.

Re: [newbie] networking
From: Mike Ortiz [EMAIL PROTECTED] implimentation. Is samba a better alternative? I suppose for a small home network it doesn't make a lot of difference. For a larger network, where the Linux (or Win) box may need to integrate with existing standards, it would obviously be more important. Samba is, by most accounts, a very good imitation (as far as the rest of the network is concerned) of an NT server.

Re: [newbie] networking
I haven't had time to try samba yet. The way I have found to integrate my pc and linux network is to run pcnfs. It works well, and the setup is very easy. Like UNIX nfs, you can specify which uid's or which machines can do what, (eg.. uid 0 on my.host.org may read/write the exported directory, while your.host.org can not mount at all.) Just like the UNIX implimentation. Is samba a better alternative? thx... -mike On Mon, 19 Jul 1999, Dan Brown wrote: From: Lloyd Osten [EMAIL PROTECTED] So where do I go from here?

The important thing is that both machines can ping each other (I tried it;it works) There's about a 1ms delay. So where do I go from here? OK, since Windows cannot do normal networking (it only does "Microsoft Networking"), you have to do two things. 1. Set up the Linux box to do MS Networking. This is called Samba. 2. Set up the MS box to do MS Networking. You can find good instructions for this in the http://www.annoyances.org site, under 'networking shmetworking" or something like that. My suggestion is you boot your Linux box into Windows 95/98 for a short time, and verify that they both can network each other. You then take down the MS component and reboot it into Linux. Since the remaining Windows box is now known to work, you can tweak the Linux box until it plays Bill Gates' tune. There are numerous documents, books, HOWTO's etc. on Samba and Linux-Windows connectivity. Are you familiar with HOWTO's? There is a fairly up to date collection of them in your Mandrake CD. Look them over, a few of them will apply to your situation. Make sure the boxes can ping each other by NAME as well as by IP address. This generally entails having an /etc/hosts file in the Linux box, and a C:\WINDOWS\hosts file in the 95/98 box. -- Ramon Gandia = Sysadmin Nook Net http://www.nook.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] 285 West First Avenue tel. 907-443-7575 P.O.

Re: [newbie] networking
There is also a patch to the system registry for 98. Iwill make it available tomorrow. It enables plain text passwords. Samba requires them and 98 is set up to encrypt (could it have been planned?)

[newbie] Networking with Mandrake (help!)
I have a working two computer network with file, print, and internet sharing in Windows. I would like to have the same thing in Linux, but I know almost nothing about networking in Linux. Both computers have 2 NIC cards. My internal IP is 192.168.244.132 and the other computer has an IP of 192.168.244.131. The card type is an "NDC 10/100 Fast Etherent PCI (MX-A)(MX987x5)". That is what shows in the Windows Network Control Panel. What are the steps that I would need to take to get a working two computer network in Linux with file, print, and internet sharing? My computer switches between Windows 98 and Mandrake 6.0. The other computer is only Windows 98. Will Linux see the other Windows computer and will the other windows computer see my Linux computer?

Re: [newbie] Networking with Mandrake (help!)
I have installed linux several times. This procedure always works. 1. Edit /etc/smb.conf and change the following MAKE SURE that the line "workgroup = MYGROUP' is CHANGED to be "workgroup = (what ever you have in windows under workgroup in settings-control panel-network-identification" 2. Change the line 'security = user' to security = share' 3. Uncomment (take out the semi-colon) the section that looks like this: ;[public] ;path = /home/samba ;public = yes ;writable = yes ;printable = no 4. If you want your whole linux machine to show up in windows, change the above "path = /home/samba" to 'path = /", otherwise, only the /home/samba directory will be available to windows. 5. Shutdown and restart samba or reboot you linux machine and it will be visible in windows network neighborhood.

Re: [newbie] Networking with Mandrake (help!)
Ok. Now what drivers do I use for my ethernet card? The autoprobe in the installation said it was a tulip card. I don't know what that is, but my card is an NDC 10/100 PCI card. After I went into Linux it seemed fine until every 10 seconds it kept popping up messages in the console saying something like "eth0 blah blah blah retrying" Are there any generic ethernet drivers available? And is it possible to share the internet connection from windows with my linux computer. Thanks. The Webmonkey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Free web-based email, anytime, anywhere!

Your card use's the tulip driver. Go into netcfg and enter your machines IP address and the DNS. On Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:20:03 -0700, Jason Riesa wrote: Ok.
