Is that correct? Samba needs to have users and passwords configured. The users for your Win boxes must be identical, and have an identical password to the samba users on the Linux boxes. The Win boxes also have to belong to the same "WORKGROUP" as the Linux boxes, identified in your /etc/samba/smb.conf From here on, do everything as root. /etc/samba/smbusers needs to be written in the format you see inside--this is mine Unix_name = SMB_erylon SMB_hilary SMB_sarah SMB_eldon root = administrator admin nobody = guest pcguest smbguest The samba password needs to be set (in a console, as root) smbpasswd -a erylon would make one for me. Make one for each user (avoid hassles, just use the user system login password) /etc/samba/lmhosts gives samba a "roadmap" to IP/computer names of network machines. 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.101 BoxName1 192.168.0.102 BoxName2 192.168.0.103 BoxName3 etc Don't eliminate the 127.xx localhost entry. Add all 4 of your networked machines. /etc/hosts allows remote hosts to be identified by the samba box. The convention is: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.101 BoxName1.workgroup_name 192.168.0.102 BoxName2.workgroup_name The localhost entry is required.Add an entry for each box on your network (there are easier ways, but this always works) This allows specific addresses to access the samba machine. This is the way I do mine, there are others, but this is secure enough for me, and simple. On a small network an IP for each machine here is no problem. On a large network you might want to us a range of addresses. ALL : 192.168.0.101 192.168.0.102 192.168.0.103 192.168.104 You probably want to configure your /etc/samba/smb.conf file to allow a share on your Linux boxes I make a directory /home/public (directories under /home can be easily made into a share) and give it world permissions: #mkdir /home/public #chmod 2777 /home/public. With msec enabled (which it is by default), you'll have to jump through some hoops or it will change the permissions on you (I disable msec because I know what permissions I want on directories and msec irritates me to no end). The entry for the share in the smb.conf file would look something like this: [Public] comment = public folder path = /home/public admin users = @workgroup_name write list = @workgroup_name force group = @workgroup_name read only = No inherit permissions = Yes guest ok = Yes Of course, substitute your actual machine names, workgroup name, user names, and actual ethernet addresses for each box in the above examples.

Better solution: I'm thinking you may be greatly served by a software package called 'Webmin' which is available through urpmi (rpmdrake/Mandrake Software Center). I remember it as being a pretty easy way to configure your samba server. drakwizard has a wizard for samba, no clue on how good it is. If you want to learn solution: Open /etc/samba/smb.conf in your favorite editor find the line: workgroup = MDKGROUP change it to match whatever the winxp one has or whatever it is you actually want it to be, and /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart In Win98, go to (from memory, so improvise until you find it) Network Settings -> Identification tap and find the workgroup name and change them to match the winxp settings. The thing about samba is it SEEMS much harder to configure than it is. For just sharing files on your home network, you can ignore 90% of the options. Some other settings you probably want in your smb.conf map to guest = bad user security = user Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I've done this the easy way for so long that it's hard to remember the pain I once had with Linksys cards. Set harddrake to run at boot, plug in the card and you'll likely find you'll have a connection next time you boot to Mandrake. Alternatively, plug in the card and insert install disk one and "Upgrade" the install. At the summary screen be certain you configure anything that hasn't already been done by the installer. As I said, the easy way. There's a link below if you'd like to take a swing at things another way. > Finally, I use a Linksys cable/DSL router to connect to my ADSL connection > ...

I'm not sure this is the *easiest* way to set it up, but the following works for me. In /etc/fstab, I have the following entry: # network drives //host/dir /mnt/somedir smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/auth 0 0 And file /etc/samba/auth holds: username = simon domain = password = mypasswd With this setup, the windows share is mounted on boot. I can read the mounted dir as any user, but can only write to it as user "root". I'm sure that samba provides options to allow writing as normal users, which is what you want. I just haven't needed to set it up that way. Cheers, Simon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Make yourself su/root and do whatever you like. You run the remote-linux PC by being in/on it and can tell it what to do whatever you like. It will require a fair amount of command-line knowledge though:) Something similar but then gui fashion can be gotten from using VNC...but that's a lot slower and crash-prone in my experience. Either way you take full control of the remote PC. Going from linux -> windows (I'm talking 98 here) is a bit more of a hassle though VNC can do it. If you want ssh-server options on your windows box you'll need to install "cygwin" or one of the derived lite versions.

I have the same MB. 3com port is recognised with out any effort by 9.1. but to make it recognise nvidia nic port you need the nvidia rpm which is available from their site. I am using 3com port for connecting to adsl modem. It is ok. Even after this I have one problem that the stock kernel doesn't recognise the hdds for udma5. Even manual setting is ineffective.

I have a home network using NFS and Samba (whenever I get it running), but I never have such problems, at least with the connections disappearing. At least for NFS, they are always there. I am caused to wonder however, about what you are doing with IP-Tables? On a home network, I don't see any reason to run it, unless you are fire walling the server with it. In that case, I would use another box, maybe a P-90 to be your firewall, and let the home side of the network be open to all. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

Paul Paul, (sorry) I missed the first part of this thread. What is the problem? I've got a DLink model DL-604 router, for cable-modem service that I have 3 comps hooked to. It does DHCP, handing out the IPs to the machines, but I've still got the IPs locked under Linux, and Windows just grabs them. I can ping by IP or hostname on all 3, and copy files via NFS or Samba, depending on which OS my sons are (dual) booted into.

Re: [newbie] LAN problem
Paul; If your router is handing off DHCP addresses, and your PC's are using their lmhosts file to find each other, you'll run into problems every time the router hands out new IP addresses. Try logging into the router and disabling the DHCP service, or use IP adresses that are outside of the range of IP's that your DHCP service has reserved. Then update your lmhosts file, and restart or renew your IP addresses on each Windows box.

Still dancing the jig, and so the dhcp thing is really like ip masquerading

Right, the firewall box is stand alone with two NICs and all the other client boxes are connected into the switch. However when I run one of the firewall NICs to the switch and the other to the cable modem I can ping internet with the firewall box but none of the clients can. So what I have right now is both Firewall NICs running into the switch and the uplink on the switch going to the cable modem. I know this will end up with me saying "DUH! I should have seen the answer".

Re: [newbie] LAN/firewall setup
Dennis; How does your cable modem connect to your switch? Doesn't it have a connection for a standard network cable? Or does it use a USB connector? You should have received a gray/silver cable with 2 network connectors on it (obviously there would be one at each end!). If not, it's probably a USB connector cable. See if you can send me the brand and model of your cable modem. I'll see what I can do to help. What I meant by #1 is that you should be connecting your cable modem to the firewall/router! My Bad! The cable modem should have a normal network port on it, or it should have a special cable to connect from the cable modem to your firewall/router PC, either using a standard network port or a USB port on the firewall/router box. In other words, cable modem to firewall/router, firewall/router to switch, switch to PC's in your network. That's the way your wiring should be connected. I apologize for the confusion.

Re: [newbie] LAN/firewall setup
Dennis; Start by Losing MNF. Dump it completely. It's way too complex a firewall solution for your network. Do a fresh install of Smoothwall, and apply all the updates, then configure Smoothwall for your requirements following the suggestions I sent in my last email. For your requirments, you can also look at running Mandrake 8.0 and installing Firestarter, Shorewall, Bastille, etc, and run your web-site directly on the firewall system using Apache. Add a larger chunk of Ram, and a decent sized hard drive (10 to 40 Gigs), and you could also run Samba (Windows File Sharing), and ProFTPD (FTP Server) on it without too much hassle. Your life will be much simpler, and you'll have a lot more Free time for important things like BEER or Women! MNF is based on Mandrake 8.2, and customized to work as a firewall/router PLUS a "Front-End" Server for larger networks, and is therefore overly complex for a home network. It also requires a fair amount of maintenance on a regular basis. Kinda like using Thor's hammer to fix your watch! By the sound of your reply, you have more than one Firewall package running on this box. You should consider losing the others, and reverting to an older Mandrake version, or give "E-Smith" a try. Here's the link; http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/e-smith/ It comes with a web-server, email server, DNS, etc included. EZ to install too. Who needs a DMZ when the one box can do it all? A friend of mine has been running E-Smith for about 2 years on a P233MMX with 20 web-sites, 3 FTP servers, 6 email servers with NO downtime. Comes with a web-based interface as well. Might be worth looking at for your system, but MNF is way too heavy for your setup. Just my 2 cents. Lanman >Short on info, sorry.

Cable modem to switch- eth0, I don't understand that, the modem has no ethernet card, but it connects with the switch in the uplink position?

The firewall/router is homebuilt pc running MNF, I have had SNF and IPCOP running on it also. The computer is a older SOYO mb with a K6II 266 processor running with 128mb sdram. Has two NICs in it and I was thinking of running another as one of the computers attached is my web server and I will put that in a DMZ once I figure out what is going haywire on me. So for now I am trying to run MNF which has smoothwall as its base. Thanks for any feed back and help. I will reexam what I have and see if that will get it going. -- Dennis M. linux user # 180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] LAN/firewall setup
Dennis; Your setup is almost correct. First of all, is your firewall/router a PC or an appliance? Either way, I suggest you modify your set up as follows; 1) Cablemodem to switch - eth0 (using DHCP-client) - Your ISP will probably want to assign an IP address for you. Use the Cat5 cable they provided for this connection - cable is probably 5 or 6 feet long and it came with the cablemodem. 2) Assuming you have the ability to re-configure your firewall/router, change the IP address related to "eth1" to 192.168.0.1, and make sure that all PC's use this IP as their Gateway IP. Connect a straight-through Cat5 cable from eth1 to the switch's input or to a standard input on the switch if it doesn't have a port labelled "Uplink". Please note that some switches will have 2 ports connected together by a small line (graphic line, not an electronic line). This usually means that you can use one port or the other BUT NOT BOTH. One will usually be labelled "UpLink" and the other will be a standard port. 3) Connect all other PC's to the switch making sure that none of them use 192.168.0.1 as their IP address - it's already been used by your firewall/router, and can be seen by the other computers. Again, I stress,...Make sure that you set all other machines to use 192.168.0.1 as their Gateway IP, and make sure that NONE of them use 192.168.0.1 as their own IP. 4) Make sure that your firewall/router allows for I.C.S. (Internet Connection Sharing), or N.A.T. (Network Address Translation). While you're at it, make sure that you set your DNS IP adresses on each computer for the DNS servers of your ISP. If you're running a PC as your firewall/router, check the configuration so that it allows for I.C.S. or N.A.T., and restart it. Check your Firewall/Router for an Internet connection, and if that works, you know that all other machines should now be connected. If they can't connect, it's because the firewall/router is not allowing them to, and you'll need to either read your owner's manual, or send back aonther email with a detailed breakdown of how the Firewall/Router PC is configured. More info regarding the Firewall/Router would be an asset, here. Is it an appliance? If so, what brand and model. Is it a PC? If so, which firewall product and O/S is running on it? Hope this helps!

Re: [newbie] LAN/firewall setup
hi dennis, your description doesn't match your diagram, your diagram has the cable modem attached to eth1 of your firewall and the switch to eth0 of your firewall, which is exactly what i have, plugging the cable modem straight into your switch won't work unless it's actually not a switch but a router that can take dhcp assignments, (i'm assumimg that you use dhcp, if you have a static this still applies since whatever the cable modem plugs into must be set up correctly), all my cables into my switch are patch cables and not crossover, i have to admit that i've never looked at the cable that came with the modem so whether that's crossover or not i don't know but using the one that came with the modem means it doesn't matter! - though if someone could enlighten me without my having to take the network down (and get down on hands and knees behind my desk!) so perhaps you could clarify your setup, also when you say that your computers work fine i assume you mean with each other but not with the internet? otherwise there's something i'm missing here! bascule On Wednesday 01 Jan 2003 11:11 pm, Dennis Myers wrote: > Below is the way I think my network should be wired.

TIA I have cox-internet ( which is high speed cable ) very easy in LM 8.0, 8.1, 8.2! do you have one or two network interface cards? Only one is needed if you only have one pc at home , if you connect to any other pc, you will need two 1.) for the cable modem 2nd) for network. in setting up the network card follow this: open up control center, next open network/internet, choose connection for a one only setup use the configure button and let the auto detectand configure do it's thing. only choose to use dhcp to connect, when it's through, apply and exit control center. reboot is a good idea then it all should work. if you want to share the connection with another pc in the house or office, write back , it will take a bit more time to explain.

Re: [newbie] LAN and COX cable modem
Hi I have a LAN set up. I use a netgear hub and reguler cables with RJ45 connectors. I think the hardest thing I found was getting up to speed on firewalling and once I understood the basics of proxy and TCP/IP I was away. I have a Sun Solaris box and that was a right pain as for some reason it put the wrong details in /etc/hosts and I had to change the permissions and get some vi action going on it and about 5 other files!

Re: [newbie] LAN with 2 IP's from DSL povider ?
Thank you Brian, but the point is I already had this connection sharing, and I was able to set it up with the help of some list members ( infact you were the one who helped me out alot back then :) ) but the problem is that while having this sharing, and Linux was used as a firewall, and Bastille was running...etc. I had performance problems, my connection used to go down a lot, and when I contacted the ISP their technician came in and said that the reason why I was getting disconnected is becoz the NIC was trying to connect with a 100 speed while the line can only handle 10, thats why i was getting disconnected too often. He said he didnt know how to force the card to connect with 10 under linux, so he offered me a new IP ( without paying for it though :) I posted another question on the list asking if I can force the card to connect with 10 speed, Isnt there a way to concet both PCs while them having the 2 IP's ? I really liked the idea coz back then my w2k machine had to get off the net whenever I needed to take my notebook ( the linux machine ) with me to school ( which used to piss off my 4 years old son as he couldnt surf pbskids.org while I wasnt at home :) ) I just need them to be on the same LAN so that i can share the printer and browse both hard drives using samba.

Re: [newbie] LAN with 2 IP's from DSL povider ?
Hanan, No - they are not on a LAN, they are sharing a path to the internet. But this can be changed very easily. Just set up the linux machine to share its internet connection and the W2K box uses this as a gateway. The connection to the DSL would then come from a 2nd NIC installed in the linux machine. This way your linux machine can firewall your W2K box and both machines can share resources, including the internet. Obviously this requires you to install an additional NIC, but they are cheap! If you need more specific help on how to go about it, just post again - lots of people here have done this many times.

Re: [newbie] LAN
then it looks like your card is setup correctly, i'm assuming that you don't have any ppp or tap entries (these would be for dial-up) ifconfig will also say what ip address the card has, have you assigned a static ip address or are you obtaining one via dhcp, if you are trying to connect at work i would suggest using dhcp as it is likely that this is how things are setup there, run -as root - linuxconf, assuming it is installed, or mandrake control center and you will be able to configure this, if there is no dhcp server on the local network you will need to know what ip address to give your machine, you should ask your network admin for this and details of nameservers, of course this is all assuming a tcp/ip local network, if you are on an ipx only (novell protocol) then i can't help:-) bascule On Thursday 31 January 2002 4:05 am, you wrote: > Yes I think the card is loaded properly. > > It shows up in various places and the ifconfig throws up a bunch of stuff > after > > eth0 ... > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] LAN Cable connection set up
Well, having had my own problems with my cable connection, and then being even more frustrated when all it took was a modem reboot to fix the problem. It appears that the modem connects first, downloads any software updates for the modem each time. And if there isn't something there asking for an address, or requesting traffic, it forgets it's actually there. So it downloads the acceptable MAC addresses and then fetches an IP address. So if you run into this problem again, just give that a try. All our machines for UNIXTECHS are on cable connections and when we run into problems, that usually does the trick.

Re: [newbie] LAN Cable connection set up
I'm assuming you're trying to connect this Linux box to the RoadRunner server by itself, and not through a gateway router. Let's start in DrakConf. Since you're using Mandrake 8, there's an option on the left, that reads "Network & Internet." Select that option, then select the Connection option. >From what you've said below, it sounds like you've gone through this method. Go through and configure the card. You can select the Cable Connection, or LAN connection, either will work since they are basically the same set up. Tell it to use DHCP, if it doesn't have the software, it will prompt for the CD and will install it. It will tell you that it's going to restart the network. I can't remember if it gives you a choice to say no, but if it does, tell it now. It's just going to time out. After you've done that, power off your cable modem. Leave it off for a good 10 seconds or so, then power it back on. Now head back to your Linux box. su - to root, and run this command. [root@r2d2 /root]# /etc/init.d/network status Configured devices: lo eth0 Devices that are down: Devices with modified configuration: You should get some variant of that output when you run that command. However if you see eth0 listed under "Devices that are down:" then you're network card is not completely configured. If your output does look like that, then run this command. [root@yoda /root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart Setting network parameters:[ OK ] Bringing up interface lo: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0:[ OK ] And that should look something like it does above. It may take a little bit of time at bringing up interface eth0, that's expected since it's trying to get an IP address from the DHCP server. If it comes back and gives you an [ OK ] then you should be set. But to make sure run the command ifconfig. Your out put will look something like this. [root@r2d2 /root]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX inet addr:XX.XXX.XXX.XXX Bcast:XX.XXX.XXX.XXX Mask:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:720497 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2 TX packets:123941 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1 collisions:20 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:439288285 (418.9 Mb) TX bytes:10165271 (9.6 Mb) Interrupt:3 Base address:0x9400 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:165792 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:165792 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:17628231 (16.8 Mb) TX bytes:17628231 (16.8 Mb) The numbers that are X'd out are the ones that you should look at. The inet addr will be your IP address. From there you will be able to get to the outside world with no problem. Try testing it by pinging yahoo.com, or something else that's local.

[root@r2d2 /root]# cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 24.131.1.9 nameserver 24.131.1.8 search mw.mediaone.net That should then get your machine on the network.

RE: [newbie] LAN settings - (was: Setting up NIC under 7.2)
Given that you have 4 machines set up to get their IP allocations via DHCP, you must have initially contact the ISP and asked for 4 or 5 ip's. SOME ISP's allocate IP's based upon the machines NAME... Let's say you have a LAN with 9 computers, but the ISP is only giving you 5 IP's... In this case they would tell you to set the NAME of your computer to something they know (or is in their database...) I.E. ic-connect-@home-20322 ic-connect-@home-2033, etc. In a situation such as this, you must set your Linux box up to utilize the same hostname and domain as your ISP is expecting. In this manner your DHCP client will be understood, and it will get an IP address...

RE: [newbie] LAN settings - (was: Setting up NIC under 7.2)
Jose, Thanks. Yes, I had rebooted. I still have to do some more playing around. My knowledge in this whole area is just generally rather weak. I would have presumed that the LinkSys actually provided the DNS server names once it got them from Verizon, my ISP. Currently I have all my machines (a whopping 4, including my laptop) set for DHCP so creating a hosts file is somewhat problematic unless there are some hosts semantics that I am not aware of. If it becomes too painful I will supply static IPs to all but the laptop. The laptop has to span 3 different environments and DHCP is required in 2 out the 3.

Re: [newbie] LAN + FTP: Troubles with Netscape and FTP
I have seen the same problem occasionally... I think it may be a DNS problem. This is a possible solution (no guarantees): On the linux box, in /etc/hosts add the ip address and host name of your linux box, also add the host name and ip of your windows box. It could look somthing like this: 192.168.0.2 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.2 LinuxBox 192.168.0.1 WindowsBox And, in linuxconf (can anyone tell I'm still stuck in Red Hat Land?)--in terminal, su to root, type linuxconf [enter]--click networking|host_name_search_path and make sure that hosts, DNS is selected. I'm not sure if this is the fix (when this happened to me, I was experimenting on a machine with an unsupported video card, and didn't care to fool around for very long with troubleshooting. I re-installed linux attempting to fix the video 'cause I trashed the system entirely, and the netscape thing worked without a problem) Hope that it helps! --Greg > Hi! > > I have a lan with: > 192.168.0.1 (PC with Windows 98 SE with a modem, with internet connection > sharing) > 192.168.0.2 (PC with Linux Mandrake 7.02, that have internet access through > the Windows PC). > > Problems: > When Win PC is disconnected from internet (dial-up modem), there are two > problems: > > 1.

Not enough information. Your explanation is a little terse. Have you enabled routing? Have you set up Masq? What are the IP's involved and all pertinent data. What lines did you add for Masq? Did you read the Masq howto? Did you understand it heh... I'm being facetious... (hey it IS complex, but you only need the simple example to get you going... worry about firewall rules later...)

Re: [newbie] LAN connectivity
Can't help you there Joe, do not have Win98SE so I do not have this setup that is unique to SE. Like I was saying, I used third party programs to accomplish the same thing since my windows box was the one with the modem. Now I am on Linux and we use ipchains to accompish all of this so much easier. Client boxes, no matter what type of OS, do not have to setup proxies to accomplish the connections...connection is direct through ipchainsno more problems with socks protocols either. Sorry.

Re: [newbie] LAN connectivity
Hi Joe, Linux is so much better at sharing internet connections than windows...why not use the Linux box for that? If you need to use the Win98SE ... you will probably have to use proxies. So much cleaner with ipchains. No proxies server...just pass/allow and deny as needed. Much easier, at least I think so. There is an ipchains howto out there that explains it, if you are interested in switching. But if not, you will have to figure out the different proxies and set up proxies for your connection. There may be one other problem...I think the Win98SE internet sharing is only between Win98SE machines. I think I remember hearing that if you had a Win95/98 or Win3.x on your network that they would have to be upgraded or not be able to share the network with the Win98SE machine. They may have fixed this, but I believe that is how it is. When I was in Win98, I opted for Proxyserver by AnalogX, very cool program. And since we had several email addresses, we used older version of Wingate (single user was free). Linux box, Win95, and a Win3.x were configured to use the proxies as laid out in Wingate and Proxyserver. It was all free. So much easier now with ipchains...and it doesn't cost anything either. Just a few thoughts on it...but remember, I too am a newbie.

RE: [newbie] LAN Internet Connection
First of all check to make sure that your NIC card is working type "ifconfig" if you don't see an output of info about eth0 (only loopback 127.0.0.0) then your card is not working properly. Run "linuxconf" to get it working (note run this as root) once you are sure your card is working, try to ping a server (ping www.linux-mandrake.com) or something like that. If that works then you are in business. Then you know that the problem has to be in your proxy settings. In your proxy settings make sure you ahve the correct port set (port 80 usually for http) > -Original Message- > From: Aaron Bookvich [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2000 2:18 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [newbie] LAN Internet Connection > > ** > *** > This electronic message and all contents contain information from the law > firm of > Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn which may be privileged, confidential or > > otherwise protected from disclosure.
