I need to be able to access my Samba network from a DOS floppy. Obviously it must be a tcp/ip client rather than netbeui. Any pointers on doing this? Not *too* cryptic as I'm not expert at this sort of thing. I'm pretty sure I saw some material on the Samba site, but now I cannot find it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lindsay Allen

I have a printer - an HP 1120c - connected to my wife's Win98 machine. Occasionally I would like to print to that printer instead of the HP Laserjet 4+ connected to my Linux machine. Could someone explain a couple of things for me? 1. I am running Mandrake 6.0. When I start printtool, it complains that it does not believe Samba is installed. Why and how do I fix? 2. I ignore the message and

Hi all, I'm considering upgrading my Samba server (originally Mandrake 7.2, but bears little resemblance to it anymore) from 2.0.10 to 2.2.8. I'm wondering if I'll be gaining anything in the upgrade in the way of performance, management, etc. It's a pretty simple enviro handling a few shares - home dirs, public share, etc - and probably won't grow to much more than that.

A week or so ago I posted an issue about printing from my Linux/Samba 2.0.5a box to a Win98 print queue that ends up at an HP Deskjet 1120C. I have since managed to enable printing, however only in PostScript mode (I am using the RedHat printtool util to test). PostScript looks pretty darn good, however sending an ascii job to the queue results in the printed line "If this is all you see, try

I need some help from those folks I've seen on this list with the speed problems. I noticed while printing to a smb printer from my Linux box tonight (which I just managed to get running) that the speed is horribly slow. I did some tests - the results follow.

I tried and failed to get a W98 box to connect via ppp and become part of the network. In the course of debugging this I found what appears to be a weakness in the "interfaces" handling. Testing with : nmblookup -d 2 '*' and using different "interfaces" lines. The inbound ppp connection is 192.168.3.x. 1. interfaces = 200.01.01.233/29 192.168.3.1/24 added

I am setting up my first production Samba/Linux server and so far I have not found equivalent settings for Novell's ROS and RWS flags. I guess it's some combination of: share modes ( "NEVER" to be turned off) ole locking ( safe for Linux?) blocking locks fake oplocks ( should be off? ) locking ( "should never need to set

Folks, A remote admin is trying to add a contractor account to our NT domain with limited rights. Unfortunately, everytime the contractor account is removed from the DomainUsers group, the contractor encounters the following: \\nt-nfs-md\IPC$ and the infamous invalid password. Once the user is re-added to the DomainUsers group, they can access the share fine. My question is what permissions

I just ran into a completely unexpected problem. It appears that the Kingston SOHO Hubs don't do TCP. They do NETBEUI very well. After 4 hours of troubleshooting I went home and got my cheap Bay Networks 8 port hub and everything worked. This is to hopefully prevent others from running into the same problem. Nothing on Kingstons site mentions no TCP support but swapping only the hub worked

The problem: attempting to connect to a samba network drive from a Windows 98 machine gives me the error message: "Not logged on". Background: We have been running samba to serve a number of w95 clients for a couple of years. Some of the clients are remote and we don't bother with running nmbd(8), so all clients have LMHOSTS files. The problem is related to a new W98 machine

On Win9x I issue the command: nbtstat -a <netbios name> If <netbios name> is a Win9x machine I got the MAC address of that machine on the last line of the command output. If it's a samba server the MAC address is not returned: MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 Is there anyone who gest the MAC address back from a samba server? -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it

Hi ! I hope this is the correct place to ask questions ... I'm having the following problem : A "service" on an NT 4 server cannot connect to a samba share on my linux machine. The specific versions are given below. From the NT machine I have no problem as the administrator to login to samba server and view the target share. The supplier's service however cannot

I can force a browser election with the Win98 command: net view /workgroup:workgroupname However, that does not work on NT (and I haven't tried it on W95). What I'd really like is a command from the Linux command line to force the election. I've looked everywhere and can't find it. For my purposes having preferred master=yes and restarting Samba is not an option. Does anyone

I am running samba-2.0.3-8 on Redhat 6.2 in five global locations. All are fine except one. In this location when a user runs MS Visual Developer they are able to open, save compile and edit files just fine. However when they type either [Enter] or [Bkspc] to add or delete a line, in this case only MSVD hangs for several seconds. Insert several lines and wait 1+ minutes!!! I have watched the

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of piloting a Samba server for file/print in a Windoze NT network. I'm using Samba 2.0.5 on Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 I've been managing Windows networks for quite a while, but Linux/Samba is new to me. What I want to know is: Other than making my Samba server a domain controller, is there a relatively easy way to import my existing user accounts

Hello all, I've got a W95 box connected via crossover to a 2.2.12 RH 6.0 linux box, running 2.0.3 samba. Writes to samba from Win explorer are around 450 K/sec. Reads from samba to Windows using Explorer are around 8 K/sec. Using the smb version of tcpdump, I see between a .200 and .220 second lag between packets. smbd is nowhere near the top of my "top" list output in linux. Is
