Is it because you did not setup an smbpasswd file on your Linux/SAMBA =
server? If you do not use the encrypted password scheme, Win'98 must =
have a registry entry key like this to disable encryption:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=3Ddword:00000001
P.S., why are you using the Class "A" setup with a netmask of Class "C"? =
A typical PC and Linux server uses the standard Class "C" as =
192.168.0.xx/24.

I can't get my windows 98 box to recognize my liuux box. I'm running
redhat 5.2. My smb.conf file is shown below along with a smbclient -L
dump. At one time, my host "brett" appeared in my Network =

window, but after rebooting my linux box I can't it to show up again.
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions on what I might try
to find the problem and fix it. My windows 98 and Linux setup is
shown below.

Doh! I meant /etc/ppp. In supplication for this error, I have dug
through my server and found the original message that I alluded to, and it's
reproduced below.
==========
I'm a relatively new linux user. I used it a long time ago in the pre 1.0
days, when ole' Linus was pumping out kernels at a rate of about 3 per day
8-) but I'm really not a unix expert. However, I will tell you how I
solve problems like this in RedHat, and maybe it will help.
Some of this information is very basic. Please don't be insulted; I just
decided to spell it all out so that any newbies listening might be helped in
the right direction.
First, do an "rpm -q ppp". In my case it shows that I'm runing
ppp-2.3.3-4. Since it showed a response, I know that that's what the
package is called. It didn't say "package <whatever> is not installed".
So now I do an "rpm -ql ppp |less". This lists all of the files that came
in the RPM package. This shows me where the documentation is stored, and
where all of the executables are stores. I do this so that I know what all
of the executables are called so that I can do "man <suchandsuch>" to get a
quick low-down on what each of them do. In this case I see three
executables, all in /usr/sbin. They are chat, pppd, and pppstats. A quick
'man' of each executable tells me that chat is used to talk to the modem,
pppd is the resident daemon which stays active while you are using ppp, and
pppstats just prints out the statistics.
Now that I have a vague handle on how the application works, I look at the
documentation. To be honest, I found the documentation rather hard to
grasp.
One thing that I didn't pick up from the documentation is that all of the
script files that you normally use, namely ppp-on and ppp-off and
ppp-on-dialer, are not installed. They are sitting in the /scripts
directory of the ppp documentation directory where you can't really use
them. The documentation said you needed these files. When I typed "whereis
ppp-on" I didn't get an answer. So I ran "rpm -ql ppp |less" again and
looked a little harder, and there they were in that scripts directory.
So I logged in as root and copied the three scripts into my /etc/ppp
directory. The only one you should need to edit is the ppp-on script. I
has a location for your account name, and password, and the telephone number
of your ISP. That is all you should have to worry about.
Now, if you were only using PPP as root, then you would be pretty much
done. I'm not a security stickler, and I don't much care if I have stuff
lying around with universal privilege, but I won't claim that my
laissez-faire attitude to security is the *right* attitude. This is how I
set up my ppp permissions so that I could use it from my normal operating
account. The less security-inept out there might have a better way to do
it, but this way works, but it assumes that you have already copied
/usr/doc/ppp-<version>/scripts/ppp* to /etc/ppp:
login as root
edit /etc/profile and add /etc/ppp to the execution path
cd /etc/ppp
chmod 755 ppp* <- this sets permission to execute the scripts
chmod 6755 /usr/sbin/pppd <- this actives the set user ID bits. This is
the part that a lot of security-conscious
people would probably worry about.
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/chat <- chat doesn't need the set user ID bits set
because it is run by pppd which has
root access.
After doing this, and logging out and back in to update your path
environment variable, you should be able to type 'ppp-on' to activate the
link to your ISP. You'll hear the modem start dialing unless you've set it
with ATM0 or L0 or whichever that one is that shuts off the speaker.
Anyway, just type ppp-off to shut it down.
Hope this helps.

First of all, once you're connected using minicom, can you activate
PPP and use the net?
If so, the only problem is with your chat script. The best way to test
is to make sure that chat is called with the -v switch. This will dump
all sorts of useful debugging info into /var/log/ppp.log.
Look at that file and see what the script is sending to, and receiving
from the modem. You'll probably see the error immediately, or else
post the log here so we can have a look. :)

I'm not positive on this, but the hostsnames show up in network neighborhood
via netbeui. Netbeui is not routable. (hail mircrosoft)
You are making your connections to the systems via the netbios over TCP/IP,
which is routable.

this just happens to be what i put in the email. i tried every variation;
cua2, ttyS2, and the symbolic link (/dev/modem) that points to the device.
nothing helped.

i'm pretty sure chat is in my path, and i know pppd is in my path, but i tried
running the command with the absolute pathnames to every program and file
mentioned in the command, but to no avail.

it is a 28.8/33.6 fax/voice modem. i tried setting the rate to both 38400 and
115200 and neither worked. the serial port is definitely a 16550A, but i don't
know about the spd_vhi thing.
is it possible that there is just something screwy with my pppd program?? i
keep coming back to the fact that i can't get pppd to make the connection
manually even after i have connected using minicom. this should work if pppd
is working right, correct?

Typically, when a program requires a single parameter, and that parameter
contains white space, you can use quotes to make it a sigle argument. ie:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 57600 debug user "James Fannin" connect
"/usr/sbin/chat -v '' ATD5555555 CONNECT '' ogin: James Fannin assword:
passwd"
Good Luck,
