Hello, A client of mine has this ancient software called VideoPrinter (working on Win98) and an ancient hardware that connects to the PC through both LAN cable and serial (COM) cable. I decided to give this software a try with wine 0.9.60 running on Slackware 12, kernel 2.6.23.4. The software installs without problems and after adding the appropriate registry keys the COM is recognized. But the

HI all ! I've read in a doc, that Samba is talking only with the clients where Netbios over TCP/IP is running ! I guess it is true, but are there any solution maybe to connect with a client where only the NETBEUI is the only one installed protocol ? It would be from DOS, I have a DOS boot disk which is waking up the Netbeui, and it would be difficult to prepare it to wake up the TCP/IP !

Hello all, There is still a use for netbeui (non-routed protocol) in the network. If you are using a VPN client that does not allow split tunneling, you can still access printers on another local system with netbeui. I would like to remove the windows system and have my print shares on my Linux system with Samba. Is all consideration of netbeui within the Linux/Samba environment gone?

Hello: Is it possible to run SAMBA over IPX/NetBeui? (I will thank any suggestion) I hava an small LAN of 3 computers, connected to the Internet through a Cable-modem with DHCP (the cablemodem and the computers are all connected to a hub). The CableModem assigns every computer a random public IP adress, but usually from diferent range (ie: 212.78.x.x, 62.57.x.x, etc), so I cannot get SAMBA or

Thanks to those who wrote and suggested I remove NetBEUI from my Win95 machines. Here's the next chapter in the story: First, based on another suggestion, I tried "netstat -a" on the Win95 machine "secretary". It didn't show any kind of traffic on ports 137-139 (even though files WERE being shared at the time). Next, I tried removing NetBEUI from

Samba is working perfect on our main subnet, but it won't for any additional subnets on this domain. We use NT authentication and my system is an RS/6000. I just found out that our routers for these additional subnets have netbeui/netbios turned off. Network Admin. said it's because they're set not to allow broadcasting (and they're not going to start), and turning

Can SAMBA be used on Solaris9/SUN OS 5.8 to emulate a MicroSoft NetBeui client and thereby print to a print server. I have a printer(ps) that is netbeui only and want to print to it from a Sparc station. lp and lpr are not available by TCP/IP. Please respond off the board(direct-mail) as I'm sure this is too basic for most users and I did not subscribe to list. I did search the archives and

I cannot print across my subnets using microsoft win9networking. I have two subnets 192.168.0 & 192.168.1 of which the linux running samba server is the router using two ethernet cards . Workstations on both subnets share their printers from win95. Win95 machines from both sides of the subnet can telnet to both ethernet cards on the server and can also ping all machines across the two

I think this has been addressed a few times, but without quite satisfactory results. I have a private subnet behind an NAT proxy server (IPMASQ), and a public subnet on the other side with the NT PDC on the public. (Using both NetBEUI & TCP/IP). The PDC will change later, but currently I'm trying to find out how this all works before I do that. I'm trying to make a client machine on

Hi, I replaced my old Windows NT box runnig as PDC with a Cobolt Qube 3 and Samba-2.2.2-C1. Cobalt Linux version is 2.2.16C33_III+VPN. With the WinNT as PDC, all windows client's in the network had only TCP/IP protocol installed and they were able to browse the network and see each other. With Samba running as PDC, TCP/IP only is not enough to browse the network. I had to install NETBIOS

Hello, I am looking for the first time at setting up Linux with Samba as a primary server on our network. I would like to replace my SCO Unix system and a Windows box I use to serve MSDOS machines. The MSDOS server seems to be the stumbling block at this point in my research. I can only run netbEUI on them as far as I know and Samba seems to only talk on TCP/IP. Do you know of a solution?

Hi I had sent a mail about a week ago regarding a xcopy problem I had. I am trying to copy an image of an nt workstation from an unixware 2.1.3 server running samba 1.9.18p8. Initially the client is a dos client, who connects to the unixware server and downloads files using xcopy. My problem after copying a certain number of files xcopy fails with path not found. On further investigation I

I'm just about to give up in despair of getting Samba working on my network. I've browsed through several books, HOWTOs and websites and still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Before I quit, could someone double check this and maybe spot what I've missed? First, let me describe my network. Names and IP addresses have been changed to protect the innocent. :-)

Hello guys! I'm newbie in Linux and particularly in SAMBA. You can call me Microsoft centric but am veering away with MS and so my boss who wishes for me to establish a SAMBA PDC Server who will authenticate users, provide file and print services for WInXP and Mac users. I've read a good number of SAMBA-HOW-TOS but unfortunately i'm not going anywhere! thus this e-mail...I'm a

Hello, If I wished to ping a windows machine from a Linux box _not_ using the dotted quad address, how can I discover their IP name (using their NetBeui name)? * DNS is not running locally, (does it need too?) * There isn't a local domain, I imagine we're using our ISP's domain name (we're running the lan segment off a switch connected to a DSL modem/router) * Windows and

Hello, I've set up Samba 3.0.22 on an Ubuntu box for testing purposes. Below is my smb.conf file. The Samba server, ubuntu, is on the other side of a Linksys WRTP54G router, serving NAT to my Windows XP clients on the inside. I've opened port 139 on the router, set up NetBEUI, placed entries in the clients' hosts & lmhosts files. For some reason, the clients can logon to

I've studied the books, searched the list archives, etc. I suspect there is someone who can just tell me one thing to tweek, so I humbly beg your advice. Situation: I am playing with/learning Linux, intending to replace our two company Netware servers sometime in the next 6 months. At home, I have an NT4.0/SPC PDC, an NT4.0/SP6 docked laptop, and an HP server with RH7.1 or 7.2 (2.4.??

Greetings All: I hope everyone had a fun Halloween weekend (I carved 4 big pumpkins and gave out a bucket full of rubber eyeballs and stuff). I'm hoping somebody can explain the password behavior I've been seeing (and a couple of other things). Here's my setup: An isolated LAN (most clients have modems for dialling out) with one linux/samba machine (RedHat 4.2, kernel 2.0.30,

hi folks, we had a nice old compaq Prosignia300 server - Pentium75 but nice architecture. It won't serve as a workstation but from what I read of linux and samba it should have done very well as a server on our win95 network. However, after setting all the win95 boxes up with tcp/ip to see the samba server, and copying all our medical databases across, we found that the response time

Hello, I read some of your latest articles depending on DOS and Samba. You always mentioned TCP/IP 32, LANMANAGER-Client from IBM and this mysterios MS Client 3.0. What I would like to know is, if there is a MS-DOS IP stack available, which could use a WINS-server and connect to Samba using NETBEUI over IP ??? I use TCP/IP 32 at the moment for my old windows-clients. Problem is, I have some
