I've got a 2.6.8 kernel with bridging enabled as a module, two nics (LNE100TX and RTL8139) and i've run the following commands with no errors modprobe -v bridge brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 both interfaces have 0.0.0.0 as their addresses and brctl showmacs br0 shows the macs for both internal cards. However, bridging doesn't seem to be working at all.

I have tried every possible configuration suggestion I have found on the net, but still can't get my windows PC's to see *nix shares (running Kubuntu 9.04 and Samba 3.3.2 with a Gadmin-Samba GUI 0.2.7) and Win2000 and WinXP. The *nix box can see and use the shares from the various W-boxes, but not visaa-versa. Here is my smb.conf: [global] netbios name = Mercury1 server string = Samba

Hi, I have a Linux machine running Debian 3.0 (potato), where I have installed samba-3.0.0. I want to share a printer attached to this machine, driven with lprng. The client machine runs Win XP Home. I can send print jobs, it works, but there remains a performance issue (detailed below (*)). My main problem is I can't access the printer spool from XP. >From Explorer, in the network

Hi, This problem is driving me crazy..

I have built a couple of Windows XP guests on a Fedora7 installation. In installed the systems using the location of my iso file in the install xml script, as follows: <disk type=''file'' device=''cdrom''> <source file=''/home/sources/cd_win65.iso''/> <target dev=''hdc''/> <readonly/>

Hello, I have a network, where users want to login with their same username from Windows 2000 and from Windows XP on a samba PDC. When the machines logon, I can see the OS in the logfile of the machine on my server, but i cannot use different profiles for Win2k and WinXP, because the %a in smb.conf always gives back Win2k. The profiles of win2k and winXP aren't compatible, so i can't just

Greetings! I'm running Samba 2.2.5 on HP-UX 10.20. I've recently started adding WinXP clients to my network. Here's my issue: I installed a WinXP machine on the network. I was able to add a bunch of samba-networked printers to the Xp machine. I recently added 2 new printers to the network. I added the printer names to my samba "printcap" file. I'm able to

  I've been having problems mounting WinXP shares with Samba 2.2.7a & 2.2.8. I attribute this to WinXP using encrypted passwords, but I've set my smb.conf file with "encrypt passwords = yes" and despite a lot of searching, can't find any other option or flag that might help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Folks, Haven't been able to find any information on either issue. 1) We have Windows clients (primarily NT4sp6a and WinXP sp1) connecting to Samba servers, and it works fine but the connections are slow. They take 5-10 seconds whereas connections to native Windows servers are nearly instant. 2) The WinXP machines seem to disconnect the SMB session to the Samba servers ASAP rather than

Hi all, Is it possible to use a printer attached to a WinXP computer from Linux (Suse) using only console mode, ie. no graphic mode?

Hi, File server - samba 2.2.12 serving win95 and winXP systems. Win95 systems see network appropriately. WinXP systems can see the files when I do run > \\servername\filefolder\ but NOT when I go into my network places... What do I need to do to fix this? notes - a) changing the samba config files at times knocks out the win95 clients.. (config file below) b) winXP pro systems -

We rarely use M$ Windows, but I let my daughter surf pbskids.org while using Windows and a Trojan Horse modified or deleted the user32.dll file. I found the instructions on the Microsoft Support web site, and it would be very easy for me to expand a new copy of user32.dll if I could get the MS WinXP CD to work. It boots OK, I press a key so it will search hardware and it then has hard drive

Hi, I just installed Redhat 7.2 with samba-2.2.1a on a linux machine. I connected the linux machine to a wireless router, which is connected to a hub. I run WinXP Pro PC which is connected to the same hub. There is no problem for me to connect to the samba server from machines attached to the wireless router, ( one Mac OS X & one Win98), but I can't connect to the samba server from the

Hey ppl ! My WinXP workstations are not able to join my domain.

Has anyone had any success getting WinXP 32bit to use 4 CPU's under Centos 5.5 KVM? I have tried everything and the best I can get is 2 CPU's. I tried everything listed here http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/running-windows-smp-guests I am using the VIRTIO drivers. Is this known limitation of KVM-83-164 (Centos5 release) with WinXP 32bit? I think there are reports of it working

I've the following problem using WinXP + Samba 2.2.7: Whenever I use the Windows Explorer and roll the mouse pointer over a file (even without pressing the button), Windows locks that file (maybe to retrieve some more info?). This lock stays there for approx. 2-5 seconds ("watch smbstatus"). When I want to move or delete the file from Windows within this time, I consequently get a

After searching the archives here and at MS, have been unable to find a solution to this issue. When browsing the network using WinXP explorer, the network is clobbered by its search for desktop.ini files for each folder. I have 2 Samba servers (1 running 2.2.7 and 1 running 3.0.0). Everything works OK except for a slight delay in the initial directory display. When I looked at the network
