Hi,
I've searched for days to find some step by step instructions but
haven't found anything that seems to work.
I have two boxes:
Red Hat 9 with a net connection
Win2K with a CD-ROM drive
Both have working Realtek 10/100 NICs with just a cable connecting them
directly (no switch/hub/etc).
I want to be able to access the net from my win2k machine and access the
cd-rom from my Red Hat 9 box.
As I said, I've found heaps of instructions but haven't had much luck
with them. I don't know whether the problem is with Samba or not.
I'm guessing my RH9 box isn't broadcasting anything, but I'm not
really
sure what to look for or how to troubleshoot it if I found it.
So I guess the first step is to make sure eth0 is set up correctly for
Samba...
This is what I get from "ifconfig eth0":
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:18:A1:34:7D
inet addr:0.0.0.10 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:0.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xa000
The Ethereal program also suggests that nothing is really being
broadcast on the network even though eth0 seems ok "UP BROADCAST
RUNNING.."
Is this normal? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul
Hi Samba, Yes, it works ! First time the (Unicode) Hebrew setup is fine. I would recommend others with non-English charactersets to test the UNICODE enivronment. The idea is that Unix/Linux and XP (not Windows 98..) environment use the same language encoding. We use Linux Redhat 9, make sure the Samba global variables include - unixcharset utf-8 - display charset locale Now when we store files on the server, the "unicode-ready" applications may display the Windows characterset. For example in the "PuTTY" communications software you can change the char set under "change settings" "windows" translation" "received char set" to UTF-8. This change solves a lot of problems for us, for example finding the files in our backup software. (Till now Hebrew filenames would show up as gibberish.) Unfortunately not all linux applications seem to support unicode yet. Thanks Jerry and the great Samba team !
