Does anyone have any tips on getting hooked up to a local network from win95 client through a linux ppp server? I'm close to getting it working. I've logged on remotely and can ping or telnet to the linux ppp server but I cannot ping to any other machine on the local network. Do I need to add some route commands? This is what my routing table looks like after my ppp connection is started. linux - linux ppp server pbznet - router to internet 192.168.10.10 - remote win95 client Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface linux * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.10.10 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default pbznet 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
I was using RH5.2 to learn Linux and had succesfully configured SAMBA. I decided to update toa newer version of SAMBA (2.06 i believe) and have run into only one problem. Using a windows NT box I can search for the SAMBA machine and find it but it will not show up in network neighborhood. and solutions? -Dana
hi I had a similar problem the other night, though not with Samba specifically (ie. just trying to dial up to a ppp server). The problem was in the routing tables also, I found that by knocking out the ethernet card (ifconfig eth0 down) ... everything worked fine. You can put the commands to bring the eth0 down and up again into your dialup and logoff scripts .... this may be the same problem you're having tks ------------------------------------------------- Andrew McRobert LLB B.Sc(Comp.

Hi, Is it possible to configure such that 1. When a user changes his unix passwd using yppasswd, his samba password also changes. 2. When a user changes his passwd from win machines, his unix passwd also changes. Setup: samba running on a debian machine Suresh ----------------------------------------------------------------- Suresh Kumar.R Email: suresh@mycampus.com Dept of Electronics & Communication College of Engineering, Trivandrum - 695 016 INDIA
