-----Original Message----- From: owner-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Robin Cornelius Sent: 18 July 2004 14:36 To: list@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [LUG] Samba on MDK 10
IPX/SPX is not needed for this (it is for Novel servers?). I don't think that NetBEUI is strictly needed but it should not hurt to have the protocols avaiable they just won't be used.
Thought not :) And no it is not for Novell :)
ping by machine name is to do with DNS not samba names. If you want to ping my machine names the quickest way is to add entries in to the /etc/hosts file (on windows 98 the hosts file should be placed as c:\windows\hosts ) eg :- 192.168.0.1 linuxbox1.mynetwork.com linuxbox1 192.168.0.2 windowsbox1.mynetwork.com.windowsbox1 It is a good idea to have either DNS or the hosts file set up as this can cause problems or delays without it.
Fair enough, thanks :)
Are all three systems set to use the same workgroup
Yep, as per my original email, we set them up for the same workgroup, mainly because we wanted compatibility.
On the windows boxes make sure that both win98 clients have the browse master option set to off or disable(that is some where in the network connection windows to do with file and printer sharing if i remember). Also make sure samba is set as a master browser domain master = yes local master = yes prefered master = yes you may also wish to set security = share to make samba behave very much like windows 98 does.
Already done but thanks for the reminder :)
Also watch the /var/log/samba/* logs for errors etc.
Thanks, I'll ask him to check there. Kind regards, Julian --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
