Hi there, I have a client in a network using a samba-server that has to use MSDOS, because some software running on it needs a clean DOS. I installed the DOS-Client for TCPIP that is available from Microsoft V 1.0 and it works fine; the only thing is, that it takes so much memory below 640 K, that another program also running under DOS does not function correctly anymore. Maybe some of the

Hi everyone, Here is the problem: I have a server running Red Hat 5.2 and Samba-2.0.4 as file server for about 20 diskless machines with MSClient boot disks (created with NT server SP3). The server shares a dir with a Clipper/DBF database for those clients and the EXE file is in a NT machine. For weeks I've been trying to put the things together but the clients always break

Hi! sorry for the top post. I have had some troubles in the past trying to make equipment to boot a floppy with MS-DOS that also used ms networking to access the network. Particularly the Gateway GSX 500 cannot have the onboard NIC with PXE enabled, as it eats about 92k of highmemory, which in turn makes impossible to start Windows XP setup due to low memory. On that particular machine I had

I've setup a lab to test the new tunneling options in the latest openssh. Things work well... for a while... then the tunnel goes unidirectional. openssh-SNAP-20060122.tar.gz lab1 config: # uname -a FreeBSD lab1 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 13 13:01:17 EST 2006 root@:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SMP i386 # cat /etc/sysctl.conf | egrep -v '(^#|^$)'

Hi all! I would like to connect a DOS machine to samba. I installed IPX to linux machine and tried with Microsoft Network Client 3.0 with NWLINK but it's not working... (with TCP it's working, but unfortunately one dos program needs a lot of base memory, and tcptsr.exe eats a lot..) Someone has an idea? please advise! :) thank you Adam

Hi all, I'm trying to work out how to boot DOS on a diskless PC, and I've come to a bit of a stumbling block with loading IPX support (which is extremely important, since most DOS games use IPX for network play ;-)) So far thanks to PXELinux and Memdisk I've gotten a DOS floppy image booting successfully, but I'm stuck trying to get IPX support. Admittedly I don't have much

Hi there I have encountered a frustrating problem when running samba 2.0.5a. The setup has samba 2.0.5a running under Linux 2.2.13 (Slackware 7). This is set up to provide access to users' home directories using the "homes" share. A DOS box running MSClient 3.0 is set up to mount a user's home directory as f: drive using the "net use" command from the command line.

Hi, I want to use PXELINUX to load a DOS disk image which I currently use for Win2K/XP unattended installs. I want to move away from reliance on specific NDIS2 drivers and use the 3Com UNDIS3C driver instead. I have used this successfully to start the MSClient, but the problem is that the UNDI and PXE layer take about 90K of base memory, which means that WINNT.EXE has insufficent memory to run

I am using memdisk to remotely flash the BIOS and other firmware. It works well for most flash programs. After the flash I need to initialize the NIC to send a signal to my management server that the flash is complete. I am curious as to how others have solved this problem. Thanks.

i try to configure samba 3 as NT4 BDC or domain member with a whitebox linux i follow http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/docs/s/samba30/htmldocs/howto/NT4Migration.html but get following error [root@whitebox root]# net rpc join -S serveur -w LSCOT -U Administrateur%xxx Joined domain LSCOT.

First off I love syslinux and it has worked flawless for us on the unix side of the realm. We're trying to use our ghost images within a dos netboot using syslinux. Unfortunatly we can only pass DHCP ip's to hosts that exhibit a vendor code 'like windows/pxe/and other os's do". Unfortunatly DOS does not, so we cannot request a second IP after the pxe process to map samba

We are planning to provide a personal network directory for our ResNet Win95 users using one samba server and I'm wondering whether we are apt to encounter any issues of scale that might affect us in moving from 100 users to over 1000. I can see some problems keeping the Win95 computer identity unique on each system, but I wonder if there are known limits to the size of a single workgroup,

Every attempt to upgrade to current versions of samba or to get a second samba server to accept logins has failed. This is the second Samba server we are attempting to run, configured more or less with the same smb.conf as an operation samba server - runnind an older version. Specifics: Samba Version: samba-1.9.18p10 Platform: Sun OS 5.6 We are attempting to operate with clear_text password

On our old Novell-2.2 server we had a program called CAPTURE to redirekt the printer output of DOS programs to the network printer. (Some old DOS programs only know LPT1:) Now i am locking for a CAPTURE replacement for our new Samba server. I tested PRINDIR Version 9.0 and LPTTOFL Version 1.0 out of a DOS-Box within WIN 3.11 and WIN 95. Both programs work fine with pure DOS but have timing

hpa, etal, pxelinux works great from a push of the reset button. machine boots normally. However, after i issue 'reboot' command, my box fails to find the tftp server during reboot. This looks to be happening before pxelinux has any chance to participate, so it cannot be to blame. Im seeking corroboration here before I go badgering the bios-provider here's the relevant

Since upgrading samba to version 2.0.3, we're now unable to create new Visual C++ files, projects and build executables in network home directories. No other problems are reported! When creating a new Project an error message occurs: "The specified filename is invalid", except C++ goes ahead and creates the directory. It does create the necessary directory, but never seems to find
