I have set pppd with cdmod u+s pppd when using KPPP. This works, but every
so often pppd times out from my ISP. I've used my "other OS" computer to
make sure that it wasn't a prob with my ISP, but everything worked fine. The
only thing I had to do to solve the time out issue was to re-issue the chmod
command. Any comments on this?
Cheers,
Ben

Simple
1) setup a share on your Win95 box - I'll call it "sharethis"
2) setup a directory on Linux box - I'll call it /mnt/sharethis
3) Assume:
username is Richard
password is Curtis
IP of Win95 box is 192.168.0.2
Win95 box is Win95Box
4) Issue this command:
smbmount //Win95Box/sharethis /mnt/sharethis -U Richard -P Curtis -I 192.168.0.2
5) On Linux box
cd /mnt/sharethis
You're looking at the share directory on Win95 machine. Copy away!!!

I haven't used smbclient, but, instead use smbmount to mount shares.
I sounds like you don't have a hosts file setup which will provide URL's associated
with
human-readable names such as p200.
Try this:
smbclient \\p200\tmp -U yourWin98username%yourWin98password -I 192.068.0.2
substitute whatever the IP address of the Win98 machine for 192.168.0.2
that's an uppercase "i" befor the URL

Subject: pppd v2.5.x "protocol reject for unsupported protocol"
I'm using a bleeding edge debian system. I recently
upgraded (again) to the newest debian stuff and one of the
upgraded was pppd. Last time I upgraded this I had problems
... this time .. more problems. Except this time I have no
clue how to fix them.
Anyway, I'm using kppp with pppd. I've had this working for
1/2 a year or so ... and it only stopped working when I
installed the new pppd. Here's the meat of my ppp.log:

You can see that I get a "Login Succeeded". But that
protocol-reject line is repeated a TON of times. It's
filled my log up pretty quickly. Eventually pppd times out
but I'd like to know what is going on here. I've tried a
few different ISP's with the same message on each one.
What's going on here? Anyone? Is there a better list to
post this to?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Try setting up a *very simple* smb.conf file (usually located in /etc), something like
# Simple smb.conf
[global]
security = share
workgroup = myworkgroupname
[Temp]
path = /tmp
read only = no
guest ok = yes
# End of Simple smb.conf
You should now be able to see the share "Temp" from Network Neighborhood, and be able
to map a drive
to it.
BTW, you'll most likely already have a smb.conf file located in /etc which was place
there during
installation. Just rename it:
mv smb.conf smb.conf.old
Then create the simple smb.con as shown above.

Probably you are using broadcast name resolution instead of WINS. The *best*
way to fix this problem is likley to run both a local and a remote WINS server
and synchronize them. However, you may not be able to do that if you're not
the network administrator.
I believe the reason it's actually failing is because, after dialing, your
machine never looks on the remote subnet for a browser, because it already
knows about a local master browser.
One possible solution: it *might* work to force the machine doing the dialing
to be the segment master browser -- refer to the Microsoft web site for
details. You would need to set the machine dialing to be a preferred master
browser, or at least a potential master browser, and set all other machines on
your local network not to offer browse services. This MIGHT allow you to
browse both local and remote machines, but it also might not, and it'll be a
lot of work. Your call.
If there's a WINS machine at work, and if you're dialing from the local master
browser, setting your machine to talk to that WINS might also work. I'm not
sure.
Browse services are horribly over-complex for such a simple protocol --
Microsoft really botched it here, IMO.
<<RON>>
PS I just spotted all the extra stuff down there. Sounds like you're seeing
exactly what I would expect. You probably need to configure diald to ignore
TCP requests on ports 137, 138, and 139. There's another thread in this group
with the relevant diald configuration entries... someone else is asking a
similar question.

It does work if you install another network client or something in the
networking bit in control panel. Can't remember what. Make sure you
have client for ms networks installed. I remember i got it to work by
installing some thing in the network bit.

When setting up a real IP address to be connected to the internet via modem

ppp0 to reach the "rest" of the internal network (ie another box with a

Hi!
I'm trying to build a network of laptops, and I want to use Linux (RedHat 5.2)
as my OS. The problem is that this particular project requires maximum
flexibility, which means that the PCMCIA Ethernet card has to support 10Base2
(thin-net) 10BaseT, and 100BaseTX....So far, I've seen cards that will do the
10/100 thing, but I haven't seen any that also include the BNC connector for
10Base2 connectivity.
Can anybody help with a recommendation?
Thanks!
