I've done the same thing a few times in the past months. If you're sharing from a laptop, though, you might want to copy everything to the harddrive first as that'll spare you all the DVD drive's spin-up time.

I know Slackware does the ftp_install over the net, Mandrake doesn't! Mandrake uses NFS_mountsno biggie except that you (or I) cannot mount removable devices as such. If you've got enough temp. hard diskspace copy the whole DVD content to a directory somewhere in your /home/user/ directory and "share" it. ... look for the option in the directorie's property tab.

Ug. That and I liked that my computer doesn't go funny on me just because it's been on for hours and/or days at a time. I ended up getting help from a friend though, which seems to have temporarily fixed the problem. We'll see if it holds whenever I end up having to turn my computer off for whatever reason. Probably the next time will be when I go to take it over to my boyfriend's house, but that will also include the adventure of getting it to work with a wireless adapter since he and his roommate have a wireless network happening. My friend talked me through using mii-tool to figure out what's up. First he had me check what the actual connection was (mii-tool eth1), to make sure it matched what the router was telling me. Then he had me use "mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth1" to set it for full duplex mode. eth0 is the NIC onboard on the motherboard, I use a PCI NIC because my last motherboard had trouble with the onboard NIC. Anyhow, now, my router still doens't have the dull duplex light turned on, but if I do enough with my internet connection, it'll come on long enough to cooperate, and I am indeed back up and running for now.

I have that one solved. "myjunk" is the sort of name that even
spammers ignore. The account I have with that sort of name on it is the
second cleanest I have. Even the account "only for special friends" gets
the rare spam to it. The spammers "guess" at the name to use based on
my email headers.

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?

I'll explain how to do this through MCC, but you can also do it through Webmin or any other CUPS configuration tool (and may be easier and more reliable than PrinterDrake). In fact, I suspect it actually comes configured out-of-the box. If one box is Windows, then you need to use Samba. I'll leave it up to others to explain that one. Assuming both are Mandrake boxes, on the box with the printer attached and already installed, go into the Mandrake Control Centre (MCC), go to Hardware, and then Printers. When the Printer tool comes up, go to the Options menu and select Expert Mode. Then click on the Configure CUPS button. Make sure you have the first two boxes ticked to make printers available to other computers, and to automatically find remote printers. Now click on the button for "Printer Sharing", which will show you a list of networks, you should have an option for "Local Networks" which _should_ cover all local networks, but you may wish to get more specific with your actual interface. Click on Done/OK as required, and in theory all should be running OK on your Print Server. On the machine without the printer, repeat the above procedure to ensure remote sharing is enabled. Now choose the tab for "Configured on other machines" and hit the refresh button and if you are lucky the shared printer should appear. If not, use the Add Printer button. If Add Printer doesn't work, then there's either a problem in your CUPS set-up, or it's just PrinterDrake being temperamental. Try restarting CUPS on both machines to see if that helps. If that fails, instead of MCC try the CUPS WWW Interface (http://localhost:631/), or Webmin if you have it installed (https://localhost:1/), or the KDE Control Centre Peripherals/Printers/Add Printer option which has a nice wizard with an option for remote CUPS, or whatever the Gnome equivalent is.

Just get the network.img file (make sure it's dated 10/29) from any of the Mandrake mirrors, then: dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0 to write the image to floppy. Boot from the floppy and you *should* be good to go. I believe my problem is that the network.img is expecting my DHCP server to hand out a hostname or something, which it doesn't.

I think Franki's explanation is the correct one. It's an Australian ISP only server. No matter what method I try it always times out trying to connect. I only took a shot for curiosity since I don't need the ISOs. I have the complete cooker, 9.1 and 9.2 trees locally, plus this box will get "re-cooked" as soon as I finish assembling the new one. BTW; I seem able to initialize an ftp install from uninett.no using the latest network image as of 11 minutes ago. I stopped at the point where I would have to begin partitioning the drive/format partitions/select packages though so I don't know if it will go all the way through. Do you have the disk space to mirror the 9.2 tree locally? 2.4 GB for main, 2.6 GB for contrib if you skip jpackage and SRPMS. If so you'll be a hell of a lot better off, since the network install will error out every time the mirror you connect to rsyncs to the main Mandrake server. That would assume the mirror will be re-synchronized which I'm unsure of, but there were updated files twice recently in the 9.2 tree. Once for kernels (in contrib only I think) and this last one I noticed this morning. Plus the total time (rsync and then hd install) is less usually than any network install over a less than gigabit interface. Just a suggestion.

Man, when are those ISO's comin' out... Does this have anything to do with your firewall? The only time I've ever run across connection issues for network installs was if the server was expecting a user name and password because there were too many anonymous ftp users logged in already. Or through a 3Com NIC sometimes. But that shouldn't be the problem since you seem to be connecting. I would have responded quicker but for a couple points: 1.) I re-wrote the CD-RWs that I use to do network, hard disk, and USB installs. Yes I said -RWs, I hate floppies since they're so slow to load. Also; 2.) I was comparing a few mirrors to see which are the most up to date. Which mirror are you working with? uninett.no is current, sunet.se seems to be current. A few others are lagging apparently. I'll be back in a bit, I need to re-boot and test the network and hd.img install routines to be sure nothing is broken. I'm not getting to keep my uptime much lately.

Or is it a built in ethernet card? Looks like a possible IRQ conflict. So if it is a plugin card move it to a new PCI slot but not the one next to the AGP slot. If it is not a plugin card move one of your other cards or change a slot IRQ and see if the bugger comes up. You can do an "ifup eth0" in a su console also and see what happens.

However, your kernel is 2.4.19 and maybe a newer one may help. Only idea I can come up with is to install kernel 2.4.21. - On the other hand, your network card seems to be commonplace, so it's very strange that Mandrake chokes on it. - Of course, the "brain-dead" solution is to replace the ethernet card with some well known card, such as a RealTech, but wait a little : I'm quite confident that somebody on this list has the key to your problem.

Re: [newbie] network problem?
Scott, it is used both ways, i.e to see linux disk from windows and viceversa. In the former case you need the samba server, in the latter the client. Paul, I did this rather a long time ago so I'm not sure I really didn't have to do any configuration for the client. Currently I only need to issue: smbmount /// / to see the W2K share from linux. I have to use the IP address because the local network is mess (Novell + W2K + Sun) and DNS doesn't always resolve for me. I think you need use the smbclient front-end only for debugging. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Forgive my ignorance Paul, insn't Samba used to allow Windows users to connect to and use Linux stuff?

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.

Install the samba-client and samba-common RPMs, and either komba2 (from Contrib) or LinNeighborhood, and you will be able to browse a Windows network. Install the samba-server RPM as well, and after a very little configuration Windows computers will be able to browse your Linux computer. The absolute simplest way to set up a samba server is to install the drakwizard RPM and then go through the Samba wizard you find in Mandrake Control Centre. After going through the wizard you then need to tell Samba which Windows usernames/passwords are valid with the command smbpasswd -a username Most problems with Samba are usually because the username/passwords have not been declared. For more complicated configuration just read the Samba config file /etc/samba/smb.conf and edit as you see fit. For a basic network all you generally need to change is the Workgroup name. At the end of the file you will see some examples of how to set up various types of shares. After any change restart samba with service smb restart HTH derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I know I upgraded the dreaded webmin lately, but I do not think I did anything with it. I do not even know how to try to do anything with the monstrosity. I do not think I am guilty. I uninstalled the old version of webmin and then I installed the new version. Then I uninstalled the new version of webmin and reinstalled it because I started getting bootup messages saying that some related samba conf file was missing. I do not get any warning or error messages anymore. However, when I use the "Mandrakee Control Center rpmdrake" uninstall window to veiw the version of the installed webmin rpm I get "webmin-0.990-6.1.mdk" but when I use the install window of the "Mandrake Control Center rpmdrake" it tells me that the same package is installable. I went and used the command line urpmi and did this: urpmi --test webmin I got the following message: everything already installed How should I proceed to get the network working again?
