Hi,
I recently installed Makdrake 7 on my laptop, which had previously run
RedHat 5.2-6.1. My pcmcia modem won't work, although it worked fine
under RedHat. It is recognized, and the appropriate module loads
(serial_cs), but when I try to dial out, it won't. In the kppp
configuration utility, when you select "query modem" it responds "sorry,
the modem is busy."
Any ideas about what may be causing this? /dev/modem is a link to
/dev/ttyS2, which is where it connected to in RedHat 6.1, which has
global read/write permissions. I also tried directly connecting to the
/dev/ttyS2 as well as S0,1,3 and cua0-3, and nothing works. Where
should I look for more information?
Second problem -- Printing to a local printer works, but not to a Win9x
printer through Samba. There is likely a problem with the smb.conf file,
but I'm not sure what it is. I basically copied the configuration from
the previous RedHat 6.1 smb.conf (which used to work), but I noticed
that the Mandrake7 samba is 2.0.6 compared to 2.0.5 in RedHat, although
comparing the two, I don't see any difference in the default smb.conf
file format. The /etc/printcap file was generated by the printtool
program, where I configured the local and Win9x (samba) printers.
Any idea about what could be wrong?
Ah that reminds me, I can't get swat to work. :(
Other than that, Mandrake 7 is great!
Thanks, John Craig
