Dear all I am using two computers, one with Windows2000 and the other one with W98 both have the same version (precompiled binary) R 1.8.1 and I have experienced a slight problem with text used in plotting on W98 machine. When I try to write some local characters into R console ????? (not sure if it is OK on your computers) in W2000 **everything** is OK but in W98 some of th...

Hi! The problem is that W98 doesn't ask user for username when connecting to SMB-share. This is not a problem when sharing between W98-computers, since those only require password for connecting - username is not taken into account. Problems start when connecting to NT/Samba-servers, which only seem to support two option...

I have been using Samba as a Windows server replacement for years, both in my shop and most of my clients. Recently I replaced a WNT 4 server at a customer location with a Linux box - Mandrake 10.0 - which is strictly a file server. The machine my client is using to backup his server is a W98 box w/ 350MHz/256MB, an HP Travan tape drive and Stomp Backup My PC V5.0. This backup was taking about 4 hours when the W98 box was backing up NT (NTFS file system) but now doesn't finish overnight. The server only has about 2.5GB of data but a great deal of that is in very small files concentr...

Hallo, I try to boot the windows 98 bootdisk via memdisk. It doesn't work completely. Booting a freedos FD image works, booting the windows 98 image works too. But the windows 98 boot disk then should extract the file "ebd.cab" with the file "extract.com", and that step fails. Is that a syslinux problem or a windows problem? Viele Gruesse! Helmut

I am planning to set up a small compute farm consisting of x86 notebooks on a switched ethernet lan. These only have one nic and limited disk, so that I need to import a data partition from an external file server. For this purpose I'd like to use a w98 PC that has access to internet over dsl. I envisage connecting all machines to the ethernet switch using 10/100 links. The ip addresses would be (i) the DHCP-assigned address for the w98 machine, and (ii) local addresses for the linux machines, such as 10.0.0.* Can I use SAMBA to turn the w98 box...

I installed samba on a PC running SuSE 10.2, using the version from the SuSE 10.2 repository (3.0.23). All very nice, except smbmount is missing. As I understand it, this would seem to be because the version offered had not been compiled with the --with-smbmount option. Is my interpretation correct? And if so, how can I fix things? Do I have to download the source and do my own compilation

Hello, I have a network in my office width a Linux RedHat 7.2 Samba Server and W98 Stations, and I want to connect via VPN from my home to the office network from my home W98 station, and I want to have access to all stations from both sides. It's possible to do that? Where can I find documentation or software to implement the solution? Note: I have a ADSL Internet connectio...

I have to dual-boot, and already have an office xp installed in my w98 partition. Whenever winword gets executed, It loads a document successfully and displays "Microsoft word has not been installed for the current user. Please run the setup to install the application" message and gets exited from the application. I guess it something with the registry. Is...

Hi! I?ve just upgraded from w95 to w98 and now I can?t login to the samba server anymore, it does not accept the passwors. NOthing has been changed on the server. I run samba-1.9.16p11. Peter

Why the only W98 client of my linux-box (MDK 8.1, with samba 2.2.1) can browse my EXT3 filesystem and can print using my HP dj959c printer, and i can not browse the Miscrosoft filesystem (i only see it but i cannot open the folders) instead? If i try to explore the filesystem of W98 machine a new smb session seems...

Dear Samba gurus, I am setting up file sharing between a new linux box running RedhHat 7.3 and a W98 PC, and almost have things running but have run into a problem that is beyond my ability. I have W98 set up for PlainText password, and have set up Samba to match. Everything seems fine on the linux box. When I enter: smbclient //irisarian/rout -U Gerry%PassWd the connection succeds and log.iri...

Dear list, I encounter a strange problem: I hav R (1.6.1) installed on a notebook with winXP-Prof and a similar installation (same path names etc.) on a desktop computer with W98. I use rcmd BATCH filename to display graphs from the data stored in filename. With R on my notebook everything works fine. I have the same data, the same filenames, the same paths on th w98-computer. Here I see just a short flickering of the console window and that was it. Whe I copy the lines...

...Window$ (because I rarely use this machine, but others who don't have a clue use Wxx), but then while the packages were downloading, I left the machine alone. When I came back, it had rebooted to the DVD, so I pulled it out and rebooted again. It came up in the Windows boot selection screen (W98 or WXP), and never stopped at grub. Should I not have set it to go to Windows by default, or is this something different? Thanks. mhr

On my campus network, there's one wins server that can see every machine on every subnet. I want to provide access to all these computers to the W98 boxes in my workgroup. So here's what I did: I created my own workgroup, set myself to be the local browse master and domain master. So now everything works properly on my linux box (rh 6.0, samba 2.0.5a) and the W98 boxes in my workgroup can see all the workgroups on campus. But the strang...

Hi all, i've got a strange behaviour with W98 workstations : I've samba3 running as a PDC on an heterogeneous network. it's used for authentication only and profiles are disabled so we use the local profile on workstation. the configuration works fine for Win2k and XP. But on W98, it get an "standard" profile from an unknown...

hi all, After inspecting different W98 configuration, it appears that if you've got multiuser/session activated on a W98, it forces the use of remote profile on the Samba server, in your personnal folder (/home/user). desactivating this beahviour and all is right now. cheers

...ter" dialogue in windows, when in the dialogue searching the domain, the printers don't show up for selecting. Only the domain can be seen , but no machines with shared printers show up. The odd thing is , they show up when browsing the network in the networkneighbourhood/networkplaces (w98/w2k) Allso when in the "add printer" dialogue in stead off browsing the network to find the printer, I simply fill in the domainname of the sambaserver and the name of the printer, it works, but I want the selectable printers to show up when browsing the network in the "add printe...

Hi, With WXP it's fine but with W98 or NT I don't see services.

I've recently set up a new server running RH 6.1 and Samba 2.0.5a. All our older servers are running 1.9.18p10, and were left that way on the "If it ain't broke" principle. On the new server, I've noticed that DOS wildcards don't work correctly for some (but not all) old 16-bit DOS programs running under Win95/98. The symptom is that the program only

Hi! I have installed Samba 1.9.17p4 on Linux server. PC with Windows95 and Windows NT( with registery set to enable plain text password) are connected without any problem. But PC with Windows98 are not. Can anybody help me to resolve this problem? Thank you. Best regards, Oleg Kustov
