similar to: Win98 SE - problem with copying to shares

with the Samba3.0.12 release i encountered the following problem : when i try to copy a file from a samba share to the local disk then the process hangs with the windows-message "Preparing to copy" (my translation from the german message). In a WIN98-DOS-Windows the copy command hangs too, but the file is created. The copying from my WIN-XP HOME works. My previous installed version

Hi, I installed the smbclient package in debian... I can connect to shared filesystems on the win98 box //LARRY. Such as smbclient //LARRY/AU. and the also the printer //LARRY/ML1210 (my samsung printer.) But when connected to the printer if I say print. It says the following: oube@debian:~$ smbclient //LARRY/ML1210 added interface ip=10.169.17.94 bcast=10.169.17.95 nmask=255.255.255.248 Got

I am running Win 98 SE and have a Samba server v2.0.5 on a FreeBSD 3.3 system. Both machines sit on the same 100baseTX subnet. I am seeing expected read performance, but writes from Win98 to the Samba share are terrible; upwards of 30 seconds to copy a 900kb file (yes, that's kb). This happens in both Explorer, the DOS "shell", and in the application that actually created the file

I am trying to connect a Win98 SE (second edition) client to a Samba host. I am able to map the network drives, list directory contents and the like. However, when I try to actually access a file from the host, windows hangs for a while and then gives up (with a message like: resource no longer available). The samba logs say something like: connection reset by peer. The samba host is Redhat

has anyone tried to make a win98 (beta3) connect to a samba server? Is there some little secret I don't know about? -Steve Schwartz steve@photographics.net

Is it possible to configure syslinux.cfg on a floppy to start Win98 on a secondary hard drive? If so, how is this done? Currently I have Linux and Win98 on the primary hard drive, and when I attempt to use the floppy to start Win98 on the second hard drive, I simply start Win98 on the first drive. I have tried many different approaches, all to no avail, and I would really appreciate some

I have a WinXP guest under VMWare on my CentOS 5.1 host and it can access the CentOS printer(s) just fine. However, I also have a Win98 box on the LAN that I would like to be able to print on the CentOS printer. When I try to connect to the printer, Win98 tells me that it can't find the network...? Any suggestions? (This "slightly" really is - it _is_ directly related to CentOS,

I am running Samba 2.2.3a and have my users logging into the 'samba domain'. My WinNT and WinXP users are working fine with roaming profiles and policies. My problem is my Win98 users. The logon script doesn't seem to be working, i.e. when I log onto a Win98 machine (logging into the domain), the logon script doesn't run. I have opened up the permissions to the logon script

Listmates, I have a perplexing problem. I brought an old Toshiba laptop back from the lakehouse to update it, etc. I also brought the server back to. On out local network, I can see all the boxes in the network from the laptop (hostname: dcrlaptop), but I can only connect to it's normal server (hostname: lakehouse). dcrlaptop is running Win98 and the host I am trying to connect to is

Hi...rsync working fine for my fedora 5 box to fedora 9 box.

Hi everybody, we are currently running a small network with a samba server and a few Windows _95_ workstations. The server stores roaming profiles for all users and provides authentification (logon scripts, policy file, ...) Now, we are planning to add a Windows _98_ workstation. Q1: Will Win95 and Win98 be able to work with the same user profiles, policy file etc? If not, what can I do? Q2:

Hi there, i have trouble with Win NT 4 and WIN98 in XEN DomU when i will install. WinNT says on Hardware detect: # i can find graficadapter, install fails, please reboot ... And Win98 starts in shell an says: # no valid cdrom drivers selected .... My install Disks are ISO Files, my Config: disk = [ ''file:/path/windisk.img,ioemu:hda,w'',

Dear all, I've successfully setup a Samba 2.2.3a file server with quota support on a RedHat Linux 7.1 with Kernel 2.4.18-ac2. Win NT clients (NT, 2K, XP) works fine, and samba report the quota per user as disk capacity. But Win98/ME clients don't. Samba report the filesystem capacity, and even worse, users can bypass their quotas ! I solved the problem using a dfree script written in

My LAN is running Samba v1.9.18p10 under RedHat Linux v5.2. Using the SMB services are Win95 and OS/2 clients. It's all running fine. I will soon be adding Win98, though, and I understand that there is a question of password encryption. I'm concerned how the encrypted/plain-text communication of password will affect my existing configuration. If I reconfigure Samba to use encrypted

HI All I'm in the process of setting up my first Linux box at work, a basic file server for all 20+ Win clients (I'm sick of paying M$ CAL) all have a 'home' directory and all share a 'shared' directory. What my problem is, everything is working OK with WinXP/2000 I can see the shared directory and our own home directory on the Samba box. With Win98 I can only see and

Hi Guys, This is a strange one. We use Samba on a SCO UNIX Box that shares various files out. If you are on a Win98 system and copy a text document over to the local disk on win98 and then modify the file on a single line from the SCO system and then re-copy that file again to the 98 box it doesn't recognise any difference. It doesn't appear to occur with XP and Linux systems mounting the

Hey all, Our scenario is hopefully quite simple. A client has a MS Small Business Server and about 6-8 Win98 clients. There are also two SCO v5 boxes, which are running samba 2.0.3 (the precompiled version). From the NT box, we can see the SCO servers, but from the Win98 boxes, the SCO servers are not visible. Samba is configured to register its name with the NT WINS server, and I'd

TWIMC, I have a situation in which I can access my samba servers with win95 machines but not win98 PCs. When I double click on the server using the browse list under win98, it prompts me for a password to access //SERVER_NAME/IPC$ but denies me access after entering the password. I get accepted with no problem at this prompt with win95. I compiled with the defaults and shared the

Using Samba on Kubuntu Breezy, and Win98 on a virtual PC (VMPlayer). Everything works fine, except: When the firewall (iptables via GuardDog) is activated, I don't get any access from Win98 to my Linux shares - neither by ping nor by "connecting network-drive" - even if I allow everything that can be allowed within GuardDog (although this should have the same effects like
