Thanks for the info so far, but I'm not getting anywhere.
I tried samba.org, but I need info on how to set up the basics. I can't even
ping between the two machines. I can set the ip, but I have no idea how to
set dns, gateway, and routing.
I have the network card recognized and set to eth0, ip address 223.223.223.1.
The nt box is set to ip 223.223.223.0. I have the netmasks on both machines set
to 255.255.0.0. NT won't accept a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Do I need to
change the netmasks or ip's?
Do I need to run ypserv for dns, what about ypbind?
This is just a simple network between to computers connect through a hub with
rj-45 cable.
I've looked at all the how-to's that have been recommended to me. They are
useless if you have no or very little practical knowledge setting up a network.
I've also been to the samba website.
I've checked these references:

I've only done this from the control-panel in X windows.
Start X (as root), and start up the control-panel. Click on the network
config. icon.
Edit the hostname field to "newname" Click on "hosts" and edit your old
hostname entry / create a new one if necessary. Fill in the IP field, "name"
(eg. newname.telia.com) and the "nickname" field (eg. newname).
Reboot.
This should do it, if the rest of your networksettings are configured
properly.

I use slackware now, but i once installed redhat 5.1 over itself (silly me
forgot to make a boot disk and had no way to boot up once win98 took over my
mbr)
anyway, from what i remember all my settings remained the same...i guess when
it's installing it will only write a new config file if there isn't already one
there.
just make sure you use the same mount points for each partition as before, or
who knows how the install will come out...

Go for Slackware. Make sure you enable swap of 8M as soon as the setup
will allow you. If you're very strict on yourself, you'll have Linux on

FAT does not support the usual UNIX FS permissions, therefore you have to
specify them at mount time for the whole file system.
The best way is to add the proper options in /etc/fstab, please see "man
fstab" and "man 8 mount" for details. I don't know the exact values right
now.

======================================================================
I am reposting this b/c I am getting read to send a few out shortly

Please let me know if you're interested.
Thanks again for all the inquiries, keep 'em coming.
Ken
======================================================================
I am posting this b/c I like the Linux comm. and want everything to
know something about a piece of equipment I thought was interesting.
It's called the Dauphin DTR-1.
The unofficail Home page is:
http://www.eskimo.com/~toby/dauphin/
This link is hopelessly outdated, but with your help I'd like to
change that.
I'll get to the point.
I can get a hold of a good number of them and know that they will run
linux. Check the URL above for some info. (There is also a version
called HAL something that may work).
I am currently planning on selling these guys on eBay where they have
been going for up to $300. in the past.
My starting price for the DTR-1 and some extras is $150, but I would
go lower if someone was interested in a small quantity.
Here;s what you'd get.
* The DTR-1 a 486SLC 25 HPC/notebook computer 4mb memory, 40mb HD,
2400 Baud fax modem, VGA out port, com port, REAL par. port - will
work with zip drives! (nicer than a palmpilot)
* Detachable mini Keyboard
* Leather Case
* Battery
* A/C adaptor
* Car D/C adaptor
For my Linux friends (I mean that sincerely)
* Extra battery ($50 value)
* External charger
* Grid Hardshell case
What's missing:
*The Active pen (I can't find out where to get them 'cheaply' so if
YOU do let me know).
*The manual
Acces:
Floppy or External HD used to come as access. very hard to get and not
very nec.
Memory upgrade from 4mb to 6mb still avail.
Ethernet card also still avail.
(I will send any buyers info. on ppl. who can supply them)
You can see pictures at the URL above, eBay.com , or somewhere on
dauphintech.com .
I am very interested in getting this guy running with some small apps.
on Linux, but I'm not a programmer. I figured I'd try contributing
this way.
If interested please email me at

Hi,
How do I set up a Canon BJC-210 printer under Linux. I've read that you have
to configure the /etc/printcap file, but I don't know how. What driver do I
need? How can I print from WordPerfect 8 for Linux? Do I just select the lp
device? Right now when I select the lp device under WP8, all that the
printer prints is a few lines of garbled text. I have to turn off the
printer to stop the printing. But as soon as I turn it back on, it just
continues printing garbled text non-stop.
Any help is appreciated

The latest consumer poll shows that 81 percent of consumers think Microsoft
has been good for consumers, and 52 percent think the case was brought to
help Microsoft's rivals.
The poll also shows that 76 percent of consumers think U.S. District Judge
Thomas Penfield Jackson should find Microsoft not guilty of violating the
Sherman Antitrust Act when the trial concludes sometime in the next two or
three months.
The consumer has spoken, but will this affect Penfield Jackson�s rulings?
Of course not, a biased and angry Penfield will rule against Microsoft on
every count and impose the most severe penalty he believes possible. But
not to worry, there is a contingency plan in place regardless the DOJ trial
and appeals outcome. Long live Microsoft.

geek gadgets & beware are mostly the freeware that linux touts.
plus be has a nice opengl/midi/sound implementation. very nice ipc
messaging schema.
i think Be would be better for most new to unix people.
1) easy admin - single user, ppp, nice browser / apps
2) BeIDE - codewarrior (easy project creation and code browsing)
3) nice commercial apps from $10-$10k ( most are under $100 though )
4) 64 bit journaled/mimetyped filesystem
...
very nice / very open / very media / very fast
of course i still boot linux as well :-)
Be is not at a server level, and never will be. (although you can write
daemons for it.)
i think Be & linux have a lot to offer each other. linux on the
back-end - Be on the front.
~$70 US.. about $20 more than RedHat.
of course you can do a lot more w/ linux. many config options at the
console and X level. but many users don't need this.
anyway, i am not trolling for Be or bashing linux. just stating my
opinion that most new people don't need the techno-shock of linux.

I don't remember the option off the top of my head (and I'm in Win95
right now) but you need to do ps <option>, where the option will show
the parent process id for each process. Check 'man ps' for more info.
Then, you can see which shell is the parent of the other one. (And
which shell is the parent of the sleep) That should let you tell
which one to kill.

I really don't see what the average consumer has to do with the DOJ case.
The job of the average consumer is to consume, a judge's job is to interpret
the law in terms of various situations. I'm fairly certain the average judge
does a better job of interpreting the Sherman Act than the average consumer.

I have tried Tomrtbt recently and it works beautifully... It also

can add more software/drivers etc from another floppy or network later..)
It does require some minimum amount of RAM in your machine though...

Subject: Re: 2038 and Linux
Date: 7 Jan 99 23:36:45 GMT
Going '64-bit' doesn't necessarily imply sizeof(time_t)==8 surely.
I thought it could mean that pointers got bigger, but int could stay at 4
bytes, long could be 4 or 8, and maybe longlong was the way to get 8 byte.
Of course, simply changing the size_t typedef doesn't necessarily help.
Time/Date information must surely be in masses of files, sometimes in
binary form.
Just because the OS supports years > 2038, doesn't mean the entire system
(OS+tools+applications etc.) will hack it. Legacy data and interoperability
issues must be a major consideration here. Year 2000 problem, here we go
again...
What is the objection to declaring size_t as unsigned long? Then it would
last another 68 years (until beyond 2100). Differencing date/times would
still work fine, providing they we'ren't more than 68 years apart. File
compatibility would be maintained.

I received the attached email today, presumably as I have a
Linux-related website.
Anyone else note the "NTWare.com" email return address, which appears
related to the NT Software Site http://www.ntware.com/?
Not to be a complete purist, but I'm not impressed. Looks like Linux
has reached the stage of getting the attention of those who would profit
by the Internet by any means. Call it another milestone. Is this good
or bad?
So, anyone know who these guys are? Google and LinuxToday come up
blank.
on "linuxarchives", "ntware" provides some hits.

Greetings,
I am sending this email to announce the launch of LinuxArchives.com

Linux related website. LinuxArchives.com is an extensive collection of
software for the Linux operating system. All downloads are free, and many
of the programs are submitted and updated by the software manufacturers. If
you would like to link to LinuxArchives.com, you can do so with a simple
text link, or with one of the graphics located at the following url:
http://linuxarchives.linuxarchives.com/html/body_link_us.html
Thank you,
Tony Ferrara
