Re: [newbie] Networking Problem
Never used XP, but is this was a win98 question I'd say the problem was that you were not logged into the windows box with a valid username/password. For some reason if you give windows the wrong password it does not stop you logging on and seeing all the files, but it will stop you browsing the network. I think they call it security?

[newbie] Networking Problem
Hi All I'm baffled. I have a 3 computer network at home. Using a switch, I have my Linux machine and two other XP workstations all connected. The Linux box acts as a gateway for the net and a print server etc. and the xp workstations are simply used for day-to-day work. I have it set up so I can share files between all 3 computers (using a combination of microshaft's connection wizard thingy and samba/komba2). Everything was fine until recently one of the XP machines stopped sharing it's files (and was unable to connect to the other two computers' shared files), although the other two computers still happily share files and printer. The 'faulty' xp machine still takes it's connection for the net through the linux box though! - so no major network hardware problem I thought/think!? Linux ip: - 192.168.0.1 (gateway) Xpbox1 (faulty share machine): - 192.168.0.2 (mask, 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1) Xpbox2: - 192.168.0.3 (mask, 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1) Both the linux box and XPbox2 can ping each other, and I can ping both the linux box and the XPbox2 from the 'faulty' XPbox1. However, and perhaps crucially, I cannot ping XPbox1 from either linux or XPbox2. Phew, that took some writing and no doubt has taken some reading if you've bothered to get this far :) Can anyone offer me help please... I know this is not strictly a Linux query as it seems XPbox1 is to blame, but I'm sure someone out there might have some ideas to try at least. Could it be a hardware issue? That's all I could find in the way of help on the MS knowledge base webby. Thanks Neil -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Networking problem
When I start portmap, everything is fine. When I start netfs, (nfs) is not in init.d, it says other filesystems mount: fs type nfs not supported by kernel. Does this mean I have to re-configure my kernel or up-grade? Portmap is not in init.d on 7.2, netfs is. When I started it, it said mounting other file systems mount: nfs [ok} But all it did was place a text file in my nfs directory telling me how to configure a server to serve a number of clients. I just want to share files between clients. Is this even possible?

[newbie] Networking problem
I have networked my two machines together and can ping each of them successfully. I'm trying to set up network file sharing and have edited the /etc/exports file to read /usr *.localdomain and /home *.localdomain I have also edited the /fstab files to read: machinename:/usr/usr nfs defaults and machinename:/home/home nfs defaults The problem i have is the book I'm using, which is the only one I could find to tell me how to enable network file sharing without setting up a network file server, says to run the rpc.nfsd daemon and to edit the startup file to do it automatically. The problem is I cannot find rpc.nfsd. The book was written for Slackware, but that's all I could find. Any suggestions? michael
