Usually the hostname of the client machine, but ip should work as well.

1st machine signals that it does not have a print queue with this name
available for you. I'd check spelling of the printer names on both systems
first. (Does the system log of either machine note anything ? )

Subject: Damn samba
Date: Tue, 09 May 2000 11:14:19 -0600
Alright, this drives me nuts ALL THE TIME. Samba doesn't work
out of the box on Mandrake 7.0 (can't say anything about Redhat
and others). I use smbclient to list the shares on a local
server. Works just fine - I can see the printers I wish to
print to listed, hence my username, password, and workgroup
are correct and fine. I can connect to my directory on the
local network with smbclient as well, no problem. What I cannot
do, can NEVER do is print to a samba printer that I can see
(and know actually exists and is correctly listed) in the
samba shares list.
I go into printtool and setup the printer. It is all entered
properly (I have had others who know this stuff try as well
and they get the same crappy no-worky results). When I try
to print to the samba printer...nothing. No print. I try to
print a testpage from printtool to any setup samba printer and
nothing goes. I also don't get any error messages anywhere.
All I get is an email to root saying that the file couldn't be
printed. Thank you very damn much Sherlock!
What is the trick to making Mandrake print to a simple ole
samba share printer? What is Mandrake doing to screw it all
up? Nothing I do fixes it. I try upgrading samba, downgrading,
etc, and nothing will make Mandrake print to a share printer.
Can anyone shed light on this showstopping blunder by Mandrakesoft?
Pleeeeze?

Same for linux if you intend to run the latest and gratest x-windows
application, web browsing, and multimedia. Good old CLI programs are
much more modest in memory requirements.

Something I like to do with Microshit software.
Install OS on C: software on D:.
After done installing, I backup disk images using PartitionMagic
DiskImage to save both partitions.
Can I also use this process on linux?
( I'm not asking whether it's a good idea, I'm asling whether it's
possible. I like to keep several different images and restore the one
I need.)

One alternative to gdb (which is only at it's best when you compiled it
yourself and still have the source code) is to use strace.
This traces the program while its running and reports all system calls to
stderr (or a file if you use the -o switch).
I'm using it right now on tin, because I updated some of my SuSE 6.2
packages to SuSE 6.4 and now my console seems buggy (after certain actions,
like quitting elm) it sticks to the bottom line until I issue a reset, which
makes things like cat and more a little awkward.... :)
Anyway, back to tin... Since the update, it's been crashing when I his
"ENTER" to enter a newsgroup intermitently, and crashed once when pressing
enter to read an article...
I wanna see what broke it.

I believe so. There's a function in gdb called backtrace which uses this
information. It allows you to "start" the program from the point of the
crash and read the relevant debugging information by tracing the execution
from that point. I think without source code, you still get some info, but
not as much.

This is not true! Try using a program called System Commander (not free,
but very good!) It'll even let you boot DOS from the 2nd partition, by playing
a little game of copying files around.

Try http://www.smc.com/smc/pages_html/homef.html, SMC now own WD NICs I
believe. There is a DOS program that you can use to set the IRQ and IO ports.
Take note of the card's address that is reported by the DOS setup program. I
found that with my cards the address gets messed up and then the card becomes
unuseable. I never get the cards to work by setting the jumpers, only by
using a software setup. GET ALL THE PROGRAMS, one of them will work and you
may have to mix and match them, run one, check w/ another and then save...
These are finicky cards, but when they work they work great.

Full-duplex is to do with sound hardware and ethernet; this is not
your problem. You need to load an appropriate masquerading module for
your application. The only voice conferencing one I know of is
cuseeme, or something.
There's nothing stopping someone doing one for H323 (which NetMeeting
uses, I believe), you just have to ask a knowledgeable enough person
nicely enough :-)

Use a proxy server (www.squid-cache.org or similar) and have it listening
on your computer, then tell your client to use that.
On a network, force all traffic through a Linux router and use a
transparent proxy.

The thing is, though, I prefer to understand _exactly_ what's going on.
I read and understood how rulesets etc. work (probably forgotten by
now, though), but didn't even try to decipher what the ones Redhat
came with (produced by the m4 thingy I believe).

Under the menue Settings->Desktop->Window Manager if you run the window
manager and go to shortcuts you can set a key sequence that will
send the mouse pointer to any position you want.

You need to know what IP or Name it failed on, it could just be soeone
trying to get to an unreachagle network.

Here on RH 6.0 I just ran sndconfig from the command line in an
xterm, give it a try. It picked my card up real straight away,
there were no complicated questions or other things to do.
If you don't have sndconfig on your machine let me know and I'll
try to find out if it comes in an RPM and where you can get it.

Vcards suck.
Get a book like "Learning Red Hat Linux" published by O'Reilly,
It comes with a CD, but get the latest version from Cheapbites if
you're in the US or d/l the images and put them onto CDs if you're
somewhere else. The book is great as an instalation guide and will
serve you well. I'm just saying RH because I like it and have never
used another distro, but I hear from others that Slackwar is good
everybody likes their own distro.
Read the man pages <man command> and the HOWTO documentation which
can be read before you start the install. Be prepared to do a lot
of reading.

Usually it means you don't have a loopback interface defined.
