samba - Jun 2004 - Networking - OS/2 <- - -> Mandrakelinux

Hi

I need help on this one, My main problem is that I do not know 
anything about networking and therefore I'm lost.

A rough outline of what I have (No Windows):

Domain/workgroup = STARTREK

Machine 1 named "Hal", PentiumPro 200 128MB RAM??IP-192.168.2.37
Running OS/2 Warp 4.0 FP10 (also dual Boot eCS 1.1, seldom used)
3COM 10 MHz NIC
IBMLAN 'peer 2 peer'


In between:
SMC 'barricade 7004BR' 4 port Hub/switch/router??IP-192.168.2.1
Output to a cable modem.


Machine 2 named R2D2, AMD 
Athalon?1GHz?512?MB?RAM??IP-192.168.2.10
Running Mandrakelinux 10.0 OE (also dual Boot Mandrakelinux 9.2)
3COM 100MHz NIC
Samba (3.0.2a)/ LinNeighborhood



The problem, I believe is software configuration.

I have been thru Mandrake (samba) in the last couple weeks and 
can ping either machine or the router by IP address or by name. 
In Mandrake I have 2 folders set up that should be visable in 
OS/2 Warp.

The most recent error message is in OS/2 "NET2453 - The domain 
controller for this domain cannot be found". OS/2 Warp 4 was 
installed when it first came out (1996 ?) and has been upgraded 
thru several fixpacks since then FP10 being the latest. This is 
the third machine it has been on, always moved by tape (backup). 
About 5 or 6 years ago Win NT was networked with it,so there 
maybe incorrect entries and/or no entries in some places that I
still haven't found.I have 2 partitions in the Shared Resources 
and Connection area that should be available to Samba. 


Can I recruit anyone to act as a coach/ ? /consultant? After I 
get the network up I would like to put my printer on the 
Barricade, now it is  on a A/B switch

TIA

Hey fellow OS/2 geek!

Various things come to mind...

Do you have TCPBEUI installed in MPTS? It must be defined to a different logical
adapter number than your one running TCP/IP... (I assume you have that on there
to use the Internet) Thus, TCP/IP on
adapter 0 and TCPBEUI on adapter 1. NetBEUI won't do you any good with Samba
/ Linux.

Workgroup name set them the same on both sides
Don't run Samba in a PDC mode for OS/2 clients - peer to peer is fine.

Create an account in Linux, add that account to the smb password list

Have at least one good file share set up

Logon local to OS/2 with the ID/pw you put on the Linux side.

Try to NET USE on the OS/2 side over to your share

NET USE S: \\LNXBOX\MYSHARE

and see if you get S:

Rod Smith's "The Definitive Guide to Samba 3" is a big help. He is
also a OS/2 geek and has various OS/2 specific comments in his book. I'm
running by memory as my only OS/2 box these days is pure IP
(no File/Print) as it is my firewall.
