similar to: Samba over IPX

I am looking for experience with migrating from Novell to Linux.I have Novell 4.2 - file and print server. I am looking for tools to migrate Novell users (and if possible printers) to Samba. Thanks and regards Max . 972-3-9188325

I can't seem to get IPX going in Starcraft. It gives me "Unable to initialize network provider" in a pretty dialog box (as per usual). I have IPX in kernel, the interface configured for 802.2 frame type, and some IPX RIP/SAP daemon going. The kernel's IPX is configured without the "Full internal IPX network" thing. Apparently (from my reading) this would be a bad

I followed the entire Starcraft/WinE HOWTO located at http://koti.mbnet.fi/~hoppq/sc-howto.html Starcraft now works just fine, except the Local Area (IPX) part doesn't work. My interface (eth0) is configured as follows: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:04:82:F7:A7 inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 IPX/Ethernet 802.3

Background: Red Alert / Red Alert II / C&C / Tiberium Sun uses IPX for LAN play. According to AppDB, this works, at least for Red Alert II (Orginal RA is not on the first page of Google results...), but it requires Wine to be run as root. Since I do not have IPX installed and I'm not normally in a mood to recompile my kernel, and the Windows users that I want to play against do want to

I've searched the forums for AMD64 and IPX but couldn't find a solution here. I am running Debian Lenny 2.6.26-1-amd64 on an AMD Turion 64x2 1.60GHz system with 1GB of RAM. I have Wine running and it runs my older games just fine (this is a laptop with an ATI1100M so no new games here!) but it doesn't seem to work with IPX. I installed the IPX tools package and ran the commands

Hi, I've just finished to download wine (Wine-20031118.tar.gz) and I'am trying to play IPX Network Game (Red Alert 2) I bring up the ipx interface: ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3 0x0000001 (copy the number from Windows...) And I try run the game... but it always says that IPX is not avaiable. I'm running Mandrake 9.1 What am i doing wrong? Any Hint? Thx

One of our group companies has just 'gone live' on a new laboratory management package. Although the software is M$-based (ie: expects a M$ server at the heart of it), it is running with its core database on a CentOS3 server using Samba for client access - in fact, the developers are amazed at the performance and say it beats a Win2K/2K3 server 'hands down'!!! Anyway, the old lab

ok I've got Starcraft loaded in wine...works fine ;-) I have IPX installed within the kernel.. and have the following commandline.. modprobe ne2k-pci ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3 0x12345678 but it seems that Starcraft cant see the IPX thingo..err anyone know how to get starcraft to

I test one application, which require IPX. The matter is I don't know source of failure - application itself, Wine or software misconfiguration. Is there an useful IPX utility to test network inside Wine ?

Hi All, I have installed Atomic Bomberman as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Atomic_bomberman When I connect 2 PC's running linux via networkcables and a switch, IPX works perfectly. I start the game on both PC's, set PC A to "Start Network game" via IPX, and PC B to "Join network game". Now PC B can see the game of PC A, connect to it, and then

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

Wine is : 20010216 Distro is : RH7 w/ all the latest patches Starcraft works beautifully (but only as root does DGA work :o( ), /except/: Running network games (which requires IPX) work perfectly, but only on LAN, i.e., on a setup w/ eth0 and lo, a network game will only work if ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3 0x12345678 Under these conditions I can play, no problem. But, this doesn't

Hi, I am hoping someone can kick me up the learning curve (!) on Virtualization: We have an old piece of data logging software that was written in Turbo Pascal 6 using a file I/O module tuned to Netware and so it expects its data files to be on a Netware server and will not access them locally or via an MS/Samba share - essentially, it uses direct NCP calls for parts of its data access. The

Hi all, I'm trying to work out how to boot DOS on a diskless PC, and I've come to a bit of a stumbling block with loading IPX support (which is extremely important, since most DOS games use IPX for network play ;-)) So far thanks to PXELinux and Memdisk I've gotten a DOS floppy image booting successfully, but I'm stuck trying to get IPX support. Admittedly I don't have much

Hi, I know this question was posted back in 2002/2003, just wondering if the answer has changed since then :) There are various sites which say its possible to run Samba using NetBIOS over IPX: http://samba.anu.edu.au/cifs/docs/what-is-smb.html http://nlug.org/mail/nlug__1999_05/0057.html I've tried everything I know to (which admittedly isn't much) and can't get it to work (I

I don't know if I should be posting this here, and if this newsgroup is the incorrect one, could someone point me in the right direction? Just a question, I have SC working fine on my linux box with wine.. but when I go to play a LAN game with IPX ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2 0A0A0A00:09 ipx_route add 0A0A0A00 0A0A0A00 0A0A0A09 it see's the game, but is "Unable to join

I would benefit from IPX support in both Samba and smbfs. I subscribe to Road Runner, a cablemodem service run by Time Warner Cable. The cablemodem hooks up to an ethernet hub. The ethernet hub is hooked to three computers. One of those computers runs Windows 98. The other two can dual boot between Windows 98 and Linux. TCP/IP works perfectly on all the computers, in both Win98 and Linux

Hi, I installed wine 1.1.1 because it's write that lan game work: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3498&iTestingId=28819&bShowAll=true I install it but, in the diablo game, it say: unable to initialize selected connection method I use ubuntu 10.10, is that the cause of this error? I follow tutorial in the appdb but it change nothing.

Hello, I have installed C&C: Red Alert 2 in Ubuntu. Now I want to play in a network. I have already put the wsock32.dll [1] into the game directory and have set up an overwrite rule for wsock32 in winecfg. It should replace the IPX protocol with UDP protocol. Now there is a network card shown in the settings [2] and the network menu opens ingame now. I have set up Red Alert 2 on different

Hello! [Cc to stable@, for wider audience] The plan is two axe two old networking protocols from FreeBSD head/, meaning that FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE, available in couple of years would be shipped without them. 1) AppleTalk Last time claimed to be supported by vendor in 2007[1]. In practice had very little use since 90th. Discontinued by major routing equipment vendors since 2009[2].
