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 connection. Tia, Jorge

Helo, I have a problem width my Linux Samba Server, because I have a mdb file in my /home/staff path (share width samba), but I can't open this file in more than one W98 client???? When my second W98 Client try to open this mdb file the message: "Cant' lock file" appears. Why? Note: if I share the same file in W98 machine, there are no problems!!! Tia, Jorge Mota Sociedade

Hello, I have a problem because when I try to use the smbclient -L linux, the server responds: Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 (192.168.0.1) session request to *SMBSERVER failed and I can connect to another W98 machine from the linux/samba server, but the inverse isn't true. Why this? Note: I use the current smb.conf in the past(RH 6.0) and works fine, but now(RH6.1)

Helo, I Have a Config.Pol file made with Policy Editor in the path /home/samba/netlogon, but the W98 don't load this file, why? P.S.: My smb.conf file is: [global] workgroup = xpto server string = Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd

Hello, In my network I have a Samba Server (Domain=DN) and 3 Windows 98 WorkGroups (Net0, Net1, Net2). And my problem is: I want to avoid same users to access the workgroup Net0 (Data and Applications), and others users to the Net1. The Net2 is public for all users. It's possible to do it with a Linux Samba Server? How can I do it? Tia, Sociedade Torreense de Inform?tica, Lda. Av.

I found these articles that talk about the oplock_break problem (specifically they are related to problems with word97): http://support.microsoft.com/support/ntserver/serviceware/nts40/e9msge2bc.asp http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q163/5/25.asp Basically they say: either apply sp3 on the winnt client or disable oplock on nt server But they don't say anything about win9x,

Ok, anyone know if we're subject to the same bug as MS fixed in 95B vredir.vxd? A test, with log level 3, sound like it's in order. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

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

Recently Microsoft introduced some network improvements which made it impossible to connect to Samba without using encrypted passwords. There is a way-around for NT4.0 (SP3) by changing a registry entry. This has been published by Microsoft in their knowledge-base. With WIN95 OSR2.1 and the vredir patch (vredir.vxd and vnetsup.vxd dated June, 2nd 1997 or later) the behaviour is very similar to

Hi, I have an issue in dos printing. My okidata dot matrix printer is directly connected to linux box and is a shared printer in samba . I am using lprng. My problem is with dos printing. When i print, it spools first indicated in the windows printer window. It takes a minute before it actually sends to the linux box, you will see an indicator of spooled bytes. Once it is submitted it prints

I am running v2.0.7 and have set up a network drive for an accounting ledger system. The software is called MYOB and is quite popular in Australia. This is the first time I have to deal with multi user access to 1 data file. My setup is: Global oplocks = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY [MYOB] path=/home/office/MYOB force group = office directory mask = 0770

This only happens with PCs on the other end of a bridged 56k DDS line. It also affects DOS and W98 clients the same. Clients can log onto the domain ok, and browse. But trying to drag a file, or even right-click it in W98 explorer, cause the machine to hang, and eventually blue screen with a VREDIR VXD error. If I copy to Samba, sometimes it works, but then the file is zero bytes. Copying from

The updated Vredir.vxd file corrects a problem deleting files on Samba servers running on UNIX- based computers. This problem can cause local files to be deleted.

Hi, I have an Informix program that unload data to a file in a samba directory. Problem is although the file has changed, I still see the old data from my Windows 98 SE PC. I only see the updated data after refreshing the snmba directory numerous times. Sometimes I have to wait for more that 10 minutes !! Funny thing is this problem does not apply to my friend's PC. Why is this so and

Hi everybody, I already posted a similar message sometime ago regarding performance problems when various user are trying to share a common Microsoft ACCESS MDB file. Thank you for the messages I received regarding this problem. Unfortunately I still haven't managed to find a solution. It looks like this performance problem is also visible if you try to access any file already open by another

Hi fans, i tryed to use samba to share a paradox database which comes with a special trade programs. On a novell server it works fine.

I heared of somebody who uses samba successfully with the same application

Folks, I've missed the latest encrypted passwords thread, so forgive me if this is old hat for some of you. I'm running 2.0.3 with auth being handled by an NT PDC. It seems that some Win95 clients (namely those with later releases of the OS) have problems authenticating. I've got encrypt passwords = yes but it still seems only the old Win95 clients (clear text passwords) can auth
