I have been using Samba as a Windows server replacement for years, both in my shop and most of my clients. Recently I replaced a WNT 4 server at a customer location with a Linux box - Mandrake 10.0 - which is strictly a file server. The machine my client is using to backup his server is a W98 box w/ 350MHz/256MB, an HP Travan tape drive and Stomp Backup My PC V5.0. This backup was taking about 4

Dear all I am using two computers, one with Windows2000 and the other one with W98 both have the same version (precompiled binary) R 1.8.1 and I have experienced a slight problem with text used in plotting on W98 machine. When I try to write some local characters into R console ????? (not sure if it is OK on your computers) in W2000 **everything** is OK but in W98 some of the characters

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

Hi! The problem appears to be the same I reported months ago: My Linux box (Hedronn) has //Delenn/C and //Delenn/D mounted to /mnt/delenn1 and /mnt/delenn2. I have a music player running on Hedronn almost 24/7, but Delenn runs W98 and thanks to that crashes quite often. The music played comes from //Delenn/D. Hedronn has probably been playing music from there when Delenn crashed, and now

Hi! I?ve just upgraded from w95 to w98 and now I can?t login to the samba server anymore, it does not accept the passwors. NOthing has been changed on the server. I run samba-1.9.16p11. Peter

I got half way through an installation of CentOS on a box that has Window$ 98 in the first partition and Window$ XP in the second, where CentOS was designated for partitions 3 (/boot - 128MB) and 4 (/) and had some strange results. During the install, I changed the default OS to boot to Window$ (because I rarely use this machine, but others who don't have a clue use Wxx), but then while the

Hi, With WXP it's fine but with W98 or NT I don't see services. Here is an extract of the "log.machine" [2003/05/22 10:51:13, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(636) pcvideo (141.115.16.24) connect to service rieux as user rieux (uid=902, gid=900) (pid 956) [2003/05/22 10:51:29, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(252) pcvideo (141.115.16.24) couldn't find service

Hallo, I try to boot the windows 98 bootdisk via memdisk. It doesn't work completely. Booting a freedos FD image works, booting the windows 98 image works too. But the windows 98 boot disk then should extract the file "ebd.cab" with the file "extract.com", and that step fails. Is that a syslinux problem or a windows problem? Viele Gruesse! Helmut

Hi, My name is Tom Faulhaber. I am the network administrator at a small company in Providence,RI. I am running Samba 2.2.2 on a Redhat 6.1 machine on a Novell 4.21 network. The workstations are Win98SE. The Linux box is being used for the company intranet (Apache 1.3.22). Everything runs fine, however I am completely stumped on one issue (so far). That issue is: network connectivity. If I

Why the only W98 client of my linux-box (MDK 8.1, with samba 2.2.1) can browse my EXT3 filesystem and can print using my HP dj959c printer, and i can not browse the Miscrosoft filesystem (i only see it but i cannot open the folders) instead? If i try to explore the filesystem of W98 machine a new smb session seems to be open at once attempt and if i try 3 or 4 times, 3 or 4 connections results

I have to dual-boot, and already have an office xp installed in my w98 partition. Whenever winword gets executed, It loads a document successfully and displays "Microsoft word has not been installed for the current user. Please run the setup to install the application" message and gets exited from the application. I guess it something with the registry. Is it possible to get the info

Dear Samba gurus, I am setting up file sharing between a new linux box running RedhHat 7.3 and a W98 PC, and almost have things running but have run into a problem that is beyond my ability. I have W98 set up for PlainText password, and have set up Samba to match. Everything seems fine on the linux box. When I enter: smbclient //irisarian/rout -U Gerry%PassWd the connection succeds and

On my campus network, there's one wins server that can see every machine on every subnet. I want to provide access to all these computers to the W98 boxes in my workgroup. So here's what I did: I created my own workgroup, set myself to be the local browse master and domain master. So now everything works properly on my linux box (rh 6.0, samba 2.0.5a) and the W98 boxes in my workgroup

Hi all, i've got a strange behaviour with W98 workstations : I've samba3 running as a PDC on an heterogeneous network. it's used for authentication only and profiles are disabled so we use the local profile on workstation. the configuration works fine for Win2k and XP. But on W98, it get an "standard" profile from an unknown place and manage to write it on the server...

hi all, After inspecting different W98 configuration, it appears that if you've got multiuser/session activated on a W98, it forces the use of remote profile on the Samba server, in your personnal folder (/home/user). desactivating this beahviour and all is right now. cheers

Hello, I've tried both samba-3.0.0beta2 and beta3 but both give me the same problem. When on a windows dekstop and trying to add a printer with samba as the printserver , the printers exported by the samba server are not seen by the windows "add printer dialogue" e.g.: relevant part of smb.conf: ----------------------------------- load printers = yes printing = cups

I am planning to set up a small compute farm consisting of x86 notebooks on a switched ethernet lan. These only have one nic and limited disk, so that I need to import a data partition from an external file server. For this purpose I'd like to use a w98 PC that has access to internet over dsl. I envisage connecting all machines to the ethernet switch using 10/100 links. The ip addresses would

Dear list, I encounter a strange problem: I hav R (1.6.1) installed on a notebook with winXP-Prof and a similar installation (same path names etc.) on a desktop computer with W98. I use rcmd BATCH filename to display graphs from the data stored in filename. With R on my notebook everything works fine. I have the same data, the same filenames, the same paths on th w98-computer.

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.
