I''m running Xen on RHEL5. I''ve got two problems with CD-ROMs. In my .hvm file, I''ve got the following line: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VG_Guests/WinXP-001,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/opt/xen_stuff/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,w'', ''phy:/dev/scd0,hdd:cdrom,r'' ] The first CD-ROM, (the one linking to the file winxp.iso), appears to WinXP to be corrupted. I''m able to mount that iso in the main OS so I''...

...linux machine. MY PROBLEM: The samba server (version 2.2.7a) is running on Redhat Linux 9.0. I can successfully connect to the XP machine and copy files from the XP machine to my Linux machine. But I cannot access my linux box from my XP machine (The samba server shows up in the browse list on winxp). MY SETUP: XP machine: Hostname - winxp 2 ethernet cards - one going to my starband satellite modem one going to my linux machine IP address - 192.168.0.1 (the one connected to linux machine) Redhat linux 9.0 machine: Hostname...

Some thoughts, for anyone faced with this type of problem on a dual boot box in the future: My first thought was to try to Rescue the WinXP Spanish language installation that came on the Dell Dimension 2400, out of the Dell factory. Later, I decided to wipe the entire drive, since I now have a WinXP English language Restore CD and I wanted to redo CentOS5, so I would have room to experiment with VMware Server. With regard to restoratio...

Hi, The current situation: * About 500 university library PCs run WinXP as the main OS. I would like to achieve the following: * Replace the WinXP by a linux system (Fedora?) with virtualizationsoftware (KVM?) and have WinXP as a guest OS, in such a way that the users immediately boot into WinXP without noticing the virtualization. * Over the network I should still...

Greetings! I'm running Samba 2.2.5 on HP-UX 10.20. I've recently started adding WinXP clients to my network. Here's my issue: I installed a WinXP machine on the network. I was able to add a bunch of samba-networked printers to the Xp machine. I recently added 2 new printers to the network. I added the printer names to my samba "printcap" file. I'm abl...

Hello, some people want to use the following construction: they have a NAS machine with an integrated rsync (may be on embedded linux). they have a WinXP with cwRsyncServer (with rsync 3.0.2) and they have on WinXP a network share (i.e. Y: == "//192.168.100.123/sharename") They can use NAS / WinXP with cwRsync to copy files from NAS to a local path on the WinXP machine. But how to configure it, if they want to copy to Y: ? They use r...

I have literally beat my brains out trying to get my XP machine to talk to my samba server on my linux machine. I was hoping you could offer some advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated. MY SETUP: XP machine: Hostname - winxp 2 ethernet cards - one going to my starband satellite modem one going to my linux machine IP address - 192.168.0.1 (the one connected to linux machine) Redhat linux 9.0 machine: Hostname - redhat one ethernet card connected to my XP mach...

Hi, I have a problem which I couldn't solve myself thus decided to ask here. My setup is rather basic. There are over 20 PCs in the network, most of them running WinXP Home SP2 and WinXP Pro SP2, a few Windows 98 SE and the Linux (Debian) server running samba 3.0.7(-1). They all are in the same subnet. Windows clients and samba are configured to participate in the same workgroup. WINS is disabled. I want samba host to be a local master for the workgroup, thus...

Hi all, I am having problems running a logon script from a Winxp pro client. It appears that the logon script is not being run at all. Win98 runs the script fine, but none of the Winxp pro clients are currently running it. I am running RedHat 7.1 with Samba version 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix. My smb.conf is as follows: [global] netbios name = LOKKI...

Folks, Haven't been able to find any information on either issue. 1) We have Windows clients (primarily NT4sp6a and WinXP sp1) connecting to Samba servers, and it works fine but the connections are slow. They take 5-10 seconds whereas connections to native Windows servers are nearly instant. 2) The WinXP machines seem to disconnect the SMB session to the Samba servers ASAP rather than waiting the 15 minute period....

Hello, I have a network, where users want to login with their same username from Windows 2000 and from Windows XP on a samba PDC. When the machines logon, I can see the OS in the logfile of the machine on my server, but i cannot use different profiles for Win2k and WinXP, because the %a in smb.conf always gives back Win2k. The profiles of win2k and winXP aren't compatible, so i can't just ignore this. I hope someone understood my problem and may help me.

  I've been having problems mounting WinXP shares with Samba 2.2.7a & 2.2.8. I attribute this to WinXP using encrypted passwords, but I've set my smb.conf file with "encrypt passwords = yes" and despite a lot of searching, can't find any other option or flag that might help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[I posted this problem a couple of weeks ago and got no responses. So I'm trying again] I have a couple of applications on a WinXP/SP2 system that use data files on a Samba (v2.2.12, on Linux) shared drive. Immediately after booting the WinXP system these data files cannot be seen, yet become visible when the share is browsed with Windows Explorer. These applications are started automatically when the WinXP system is boo...

I''m using RHEL 5. One of the virtual machines I have running is a WinXP install. I start this up after I login to X. If I log out of X, the virtual WinXP is still running (that''s fine with me). However when I log back into X and start the Virtual Machine Manager, I am unable to open the machine. It normally says "Virtual Machine Console is unavailable...

We rarely use M$ Windows, but I let my daughter surf pbskids.org while using Windows and a Trojan Horse modified or deleted the user32.dll file. I found the instructions on the Microsoft Support web site, and it would be very easy for me to expand a new copy of user32.dll if I could get the MS WinXP CD to work. It boots OK, I press a key so it will search hardware and it then has hard drive activity for a long, long time. My impression is that Microsoft does not want this to work on dual boot boxes. I've tried this on dual boot boxes with Windows ME and Windows 98 SE and it works fine. De...

Hi, I just installed Redhat 7.2 with samba-2.2.1a on a linux machine. I connected the linux machine to a wireless router, which is connected to a hub. I run WinXP Pro PC which is connected to the same hub. There is no problem for me to connect to the samba server from machines attached to the wireless router, ( one Mac OS X & one Win98), but I can't connect to the samba server from the WinXP Pro machine. I put the IP address of the linux machine as t...

Hi all, Is it possible to use a printer attached to a WinXP computer from Linux (Suse) using only console mode, ie. no graphic mode?

If I try to rsync OpenOffice-directory (OO as an example, 155 MBytes) to Solaris8-machine/rsync-server it takes 4-5 minutes, about 70 MBytes gets transfered and eventually rsync.exe/winXP "dies"; actually winXP's net doesn't responde anymore and I have to boot whole machine! But when I try to do same between Linux and Solaris everything works fine, transfer speed is about 4Mbytes/s; also between winXP and Linux(as rsync-server) everything is fine too! So, i...

[samba v3.0.24, gentoo w/ kernel 2.6.15] I'm hoping someone has some insight into the following problem that I've recently encountered: Basically, winxp seems to be creating roaming profiles that are incompatible with another winxp client. I've got two sets of winxp clients, which I'll call 'new' and 'old'. Profiles created (and perfectly usable) by the old clients don't work on the new clients, and profiles created...
