similar to: Browsing via Win95 ppp

A short time ago I wrote regarding browsing a network from a remote site connected via Windows 95 ppp - and recieved help - thank you. I enabled WINS on the server and pointed the Win95 Network WINS setting to that IP number. Now... is there a way to get winpopup to send/recieve messages via that same connection. At the moment, this happens:- 1) I am warned that Netware can only handle 39

Is there a way to lock an EXE file on a shared volumn in such a way that only one person can use it at a time? With some kind of sharing violation happening if a second person tries? This is the latest version of SAMBA on a Linux box, and Win95 clients. many thanks. Tony Nichols tnichols@bedford-ind.com.au Network Support Officer Bedford Industries South Australia.

Hi. Ive had UNIX passwd sync working using win95 clients and a samba (latest) SCO server. Then it stopped. Here is a snippet from the log file:- ============================== Invoking '/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.4Eb/bin/passwd tnichols' as password change prog ram. [1999/10/21 12:26:51, 5] lib/util_sock.c:read_with_timeout(403) read_with_timeout: timeout read. EOF from client. [1999/10/21

thanks to the samba crew- we have converted several netware and nt user servers into one seam-less Unix network, except for one group, netware dialup users. ok, win95 client, ppp to linux server. using newest pppd, with correct ms-wins and ms-dns code. client can dial, gets wins server ips, etc. the client functions fine with tcp-ip stuff. the ppp server is the wins server. go to client and do a

Hello - hope somebody can point me in the right direction here. We use a SCO 5.0.4 box and samba 2.02, and when I try to get the passwd sync feature working, this is what my log file says:- (the user name is tnichols)- [1999/07/09 12:32:17, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chgpasswd(387) Password change for user: tnichols [1999/07/09 12:32:17, 10] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(78) findpty: Allocated slave

Has anyone been able to do domain logins via a PPP link? If so, how? I am running FreeBSD 3.2. I have 2 network interface cards on the machine, one to the internet, one to my local network. I am running ipfw (firewall support), as well as nat (network address translation). I have a ppp link which I am able to connect to. Once connected via ppp, I can ping/ftp/telnet to any machine on my

Hello, we are trying access with a Windows98 portable computer to a SCO-Unix server over a telephone line PPP connection. After connection we can ping/telnet the server correctly but cannot "see" unix folder called "G:"; the same portable computer, over direct LAN connection it usually "see" perfectly. Do you have suggestions to solve this problem? Please reply as

Hi, I am using Windows 95 dial-up networking to connect to a Samba box (the Samba box is a PPP server). I am having problems to browse the Network Neighborhood in Windows 95 and I do not why. The problem is random: sometimes I see computers and sometimes I don't. I have read the BROWSING.txt document and tried several smb.conf settings but nothing seems to help. When I connect using

Hi, first of all, my apologies for the very technical and long nature of this message... I still do not give up with the problem I am having about not being able to browse the Network Neighborhood sometimes. My original post to the list was: >I am using Windows 95 dial-up networking to connect to a Samba box (the >Samba box is a PPP server). I am having problems to browse the Network

I am working with someone that has 3 locations in the state in three different cities, connected by routers, with the main office using a Linux server with a WanPipe board replacing the router.

I am using samba-1.9.16p11 and have not been able to make browsing work from my 9.04 HP where it is on a switched ethernet segement alone. I have tried many combinations including remote announce to networks as well as Our NT Domain Server/ Win Servers. All to no avail. I am sure there is some key point I am missing. In fact my clients have to have DNS turned on in addition to WINS in order to

Hi, I sent an e-mail earlier about our strange Windows 95 browsing problem. Then, I upgraded to samba-2.0.2 from 1.9.17p4, but the problem is still there. I do need urgent help because almost all of our network connection does not work and our users do it for their research. Please help! Please, please! Let me repeat this strange problem: We have four UNIX machines, a Linux (Slackware 3.3,

Another not totally unrelated problem. I have a win95 client on a local net with a linux box serving it through samba. This win95 client should dial a NT box up every once in a while to access a database through odbc, and even though it connects and authenticates, setting the correct routes, it doesn't actually see the NT server's workgroup. Is this a WINS problem? Shouldn't the

Hi, I posted a few messages a couple of days ago about a strange windows 95 browsing problem with samba-2.0.2, 1.9.17p4 that none of our Windows 95 users can see our Linux shares, but all NT users can see the Linux shares, and all 95 and NT users can see AIX shares. All of our Linux and AIX use the save version of samba (I tested 2.0.2 and 1.9.17p4). Yesterday, I tried to down grade the version

Hi, I installed CentOS 3.3 and kept the machine up2date. I installed poptop and the newest ppp-cvs version ( ppp-2.4.3-0.cvs_20040527.6) We are running a ssh + ppp tunnel for our internet tunnel/tunnel to our NOC. After the upgrade we see these error messages while starting the tunnel: Jan 24 15:00:40 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-26 Jan 24 15:00:40 natgw

The company I work for uses samba to allow access to Unix files from PCs running Windows 95. When I create a file from my PC on the samba drive with a name including upper case letters, the name is forced into all lower case: I cannot create a file name containing an upper case letter. From Unix, I can create (and see from my PC) mixed-case file names. I asked my system administrator

Dear all I have ported the pppoatm.c plugin for ppp version 2.3.x to the 2.4.1 ppp. I am however having problems to decide what is the right place where to send it. I did look at http://www.samba.org/ppp and this seems to be the home page for ppp Then I did look for a mailing list the only one I have found is majordomo@vger.kernel.org but I really don't know if that is official for ppp

Hello : One Win95 client, connected over a SLIP connection to an SCO Openserver 5.0 has been working fine until System Administrator has updated OS Version to Unixware 7.1.0. On this server (Unixware 7.1.0) , I've installed Samba 2.0.2 to access all Win9x shares. All shares on the LAN (connected via TP 10Mb cards) work fine, but when I print any job to Win95 client connected via SLIP

Hello All, I have a SCO unix server running smbclient 2.0.3 and I have set it up so that it has print queues and can print to win95 and win nt 4 machines successfully. The win95 machines I can print to with share level security and the win nt machines i can print to using doman usernames and password without anyproblems. However I am trying to print to a win95 machine with user level security.
