Erm.
Just to clarify, VNC is *not* an X server. It is a facility for remotely
viewing the system console of a different machine.
If you happen to be running an X server on the machine whose console you're
viewing it may *look* like you're running an X server...

I believe I have my network set up correctly. I can telnet from the windows
box to the linux box and ping both ways. Diagnostics on the linux box
indicate that samba is up and running correctly. The server is just not
showing up in the "Network Neighborhood" window.

Indeed, it is different but that isn't quite the whole story either.
It is really a remote frame buffer, and what is in the frame may
be an X server from another machine.

When the host is windows NT or 95 you are limited to viewing the
system console since there is no concept of multiple screens. If
the host is running X, vnc actually creates a different desktop
visible only from the viewer - it does not use the same sesssion
as is on the console. For some things this is nicer than the
traditional remote usage of X because you can create long-running
sessions that you can grab from various locations when you need
to interact or check progress.

Make it the box that is always on or the linux box.
The CMN login on the 98 must be the exact same login and pass as an accoutn
on the linux box.
You must set us shares on both systems.

I finally got it to work. When I ran the the command:
nmblookup -B brett __SAMBA__
It was returning the IP address of my windows box, not the linux box.
I ended up removing the line:
interfaces = 10.0.2.14/24 10.0.2.15/24 127.0.0.1/24
from my smb.conf file.
Any comments on "why" would be appreciated.

Have you tried:
smbmount //computername/share /share -U username -P password -I 192.168.0.1
where the address following the -I parameter is the address of //computername?
You won't need the -I parameter if the //computername is defined in your hosts file.
That's what works for me.

Subject: IPMasq problems with Win98
Date: Sun, 04 Apr 1999 03:39:26 GMT
I have the problem with my internal network that I just cannot figure out what
is wrong with it...
I have a cable modem and a Redhat 5.2 linux with IP Masquerading running. The
problem is that this computer used to run on another similar network setup and
it worked...
Now the network setup is correct... the server can connect to the internet..
but here's the strange part.. the internal win98 machines cannot view any web
pages through the browser... BUT it can ping external machines... traceroute
will work... I can even telnet www.yahoo.com 80 and get a response... but the
web browser will not work... it just waits for a response...
I am now reverting back to the box running win98 with sygate to do the NAT and
that works just fine... can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Thanks!

It should, though the command will need to be slightly different,
since you don't need to connect.
The PPP-HOWTO explains this quite well... but so sum up, dial in with
minicom, and log in. Once the ppp garbage starts coming (lots fo
random characters) exit without resetting the modem (ctrl-a x) and
type something like this:
pppd /dev/ttyS2 115200 -debug
That might not be *exactly* right, but it's close.. check man pppd for
the exact syntax for any one switch. If it doesn't work, check the
file /var/log/ppp.log to see if anything is mentioned in there that
provides a clue.
If it works, you should be all set! The only thing left to do is to
work on the chat script. I suggest putting the switch -v in the chat
command to make it write everything that it does into the
/var/log/ppp.log file. From there, it's easy to see exactly what the
program is sending, and what it's expecting to see (and is, in fact,
seeing). Good luck!

That's the right solution. I had the exact same problem with my USR
14.4 (don't laugh! It's better than the 2400...). I don't remember the
exact init string that I used (since it now rememebrs that string as
just ATZ). But once I looked it up, it worked fine. I believe it has
to do with software flow control, but I could be wrong.

The best docs that I found were, oddly enough, the man pages. ;)
Check diald-examples especially, as it's a bit of a tutorial for
setting things up, from very simple situations, to more complex ones.
A good howto is needed though,... I may write one when I have time.

Not that with a setup like this, a normal user still can't shut down
the PPP link without manually hanging up (unplugging the phone cord,
turning the modem off, etc..). To do that requires sudo, or something
else. I solved the problem by just having diald manage all that, and I
plan to try to other dialing managers.
I just got the oh-so-funky idea of simply using diald in a modified
setup to not dial-on-demand at all, and just use its FIFO file thingie
to make the connections easier to manage (and also to keep it
controllable by users without using sudo). hmm...

I've never used IPChains, but it doesn't look like it'd be at all
difficult with masquerading. You'd simply make one rule for each
network, along these lines:
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W eth0
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.2.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W eth1
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.3.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W eth2
The -W option could be changed to a -V if you wanted to use IP numbers
instead of interface names.
Note that I haven't actually *tried* this, since I don't have a setup
like that. :) But from what I read in the man page, it looks like it
will work.
