[Samba] Samba over IPX/NetBeui
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 NetBIOS over TCP/IP to work. I used to share some files with Windows using NetBios over IPX (and eventually NetBeui), while being connected to the Internet. But now my computer only has Linux installed, and the only way I have find to share files, is to assign manually an IP adress to every computer (192.168.0.x) to get SAMBA working. That's tedious, because I have to do it on every computer. My mid-term/long-term solution is to get a router with a Wireless AP, and switch included. Thanks everybody, and excuse my English. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Apparently at some time in the past, someone made some patches available to allow an old version of Samba to work over either IPX or NETBEUI (I forget which). However, Samba is pretty much restricted to operation using a TCP socket. It would require a lot of work to modify it to support another protocol. My mid-term/long-term solution is to get a router with a Wireless AP, and switch included. Until you can have all of the computers in the same subnet, I don't think you will find an easy solution. Your idea of getting a router is probably best. Of course, you could just do that using your Linux PC, by adding a 2nd ethernet card. I use a Linux system with 2 ethernet cards as my ADSL router - I tried a Netgear Wireless Router (MR314) for a while, and it was not nearly as reliable as the Linux box when it came to keeping the connection up. -- /--- | Jim Morris | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |AIM: JFM2001 \--- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

I finally managed to make Samba work on my LAN. I only needed to tweak some routes.
