Hakan Duran [EMAIL PROTECTED] studiouisly spake these words to
ponder:
Hi everyone,
I am attached to a novell network at my workplace. My computer (P133-128
RAM) runs Mandrake 8.1. By prior communication with this list, I had the
information that a program called ncpfs is used to access a novell sever.
I downloaded the latest version from ftp.gwdg.de unzipped it and typed
make. BTW, before typing make, I enabled IPX as suggested, however,
I started getting an error message of:
IPX:Network number collision 11
eth0 Ether II and eth0802.2
Then the make gave an output like attached file. It seems to me that
there are a couple of implicit decleration of functions.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance..
Hakan
Hakan,
What you should do is get the ncpfs and ipx-utils from your installation
Cd's and install these two packages. once you've got them installed give me
a holler and i we can go from there.
since you're running 8.1 the rest is going to be easy. you will want to set
the IPX networking settings in linuxconf to:
x = selected
Enable x IPX networking
Autoconfigure x primary
Autoconfigure x interface frame types
Hit the Accept button, and then quit and then activate changes. When you're
done with this part you will want to open a terminal window and issue this
command:
service network restart
Next you should creat at least one dir under /mnt where you'll mount the
Netware volumes.
/mnt/nwserver
Chmod it 777 and then chown /mnt/nwserver to be owned by the user that is
going to be accessing the servers from this workstation. Probably you...
Now, you'll have to chmod ncpmount and ncpumount 4755:
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/ncpmount
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/ncpumount
Then, to connect to the servers you will have to issue this command:
ncpmount -S servername /mnt/nwserver -U username -P
If all is well you'll be prompted for your password. type your password on
the command line, hit enter and if you're dropped back to an empty command
line you're done. you're now free to browse the network. If not,
meticulously document all the error message that you're getting and get
back to me. I've done this quite a few times and I think I could do it in my
sleep.
