yeah, you need a repeater if you want the cable to be > 100m -- the signal
gets too weak. Coaxial cable has a limit of 175m, you might want to give
that a try.
Another way would be to split the network into 2 segments and use a bridge
to connect the two. I'm pretty sure Linux box can do that. Check

I've got the 3590B-TX as well, and I didn't have any probelms with it -
I've still got Pnp running too.
The only thing I can recommend is to try playing around with the legacy
& PnP setting on IRQs in your BIOS settings, that may help (I set all
mine to Pnp except IRQ5 for my SB16).
I noticed that your using v0.99e, I'm use v0.99H. You may want to get
the latest drivers from
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html. You didn't
mention which kernel your using but I know that v2.2.x uses the v0.99H
of the 3c59x driver.

Why dual CPUs then? They don't speed up regular programs...just
optimized programs that already need a ton of CPU power that are
created for dual CPU'ed systems.

Yes, you can do NAT with ipfwadm.
You need to code masquerade rules for each inside IP address (or group
of addresses), so a many-to-many implementation might get quite large.
For a one-to-many (one outside IP, many inside IPs), the implementation
rules are pretty small.

Subject: HELP!! Final attempt at Samba installation
Date: 28 Mar 1999 08:31:56 GMT
Current "configuration" (using the word loosely!):
Linux system;
486/66, 16Mb, 4.3Gb, SVGA (Trident9000),3C503
Debian linux- (works...doesn't do much without apps of course)
X-Windows- (works...not sure what, if any, useful apps available)
Samba (doesn't seem to do anything...)
smb.conf- Have edited, written, re-written, copied (examples from every
imagineable source), modified, and re-modified file countless times.
No error messages, but no apparent ability to connect to Win 95 system.
Win 95 system: PentiumII,64Mb....normal system...functions flawlessly
[ Am trying, with considerable difficulty, to keep an open mind with
regards to the real world usefullness of Linux.
I am truly interested in the capabilities of the operating system, but
only if they can be used effectively without weeks/months of frustrating
configuration puzzles.
Is this system primarily a "hobby project" for computer enthusiasts. or
can it accomplish real work with REASONABLE overhead? An honest answer
would be greatly appreciated. ]
SUPPORT QUESTIONS:
What are the "utility" commands that I might run from the command line to
start troubleshooting the Samba connection?
(smbstatus returns "Couldn't open status file /var/lock/samba/STATUS..LCK)
Are there commands that will help me to know if the ethernet
hardware/software is correctly configured on the linux system?
(Same hardware functions perfectly under NetWare)
Where can I get a "generic" smb.conf file?
(Have tried one(s) supplied with .deb package, also many examples
from "Tridge" Australian web site...no luck)
Could someone please direct me to a source of "intelligible" instructions
for setting up Samba & Win. 95.
Thanks,
JM
Personal tirade follows: (for anyone interested)
I have spent 60-80 hours in the past month trying to install & configure
Debian linux with X-Windows & Samba. All were PAINFULLY installed
from .deb packages. Debian seems to run, X-Windows seems to run, I am not
terribly impressed with either...and then there is Samba.
I have a rudimentary understanding of C language (although it's been years
since I studied it). I am new to Linux but through the years have used
CP/M, TRS-DOS, POS-350 (DEC), IBM System 23 & system 36, all flavors of
DOS 2.# to 6.22, Windows, and NetWare. With the possible exception of the
old DEC operating system, I have never experienced this much difficulty in
configuring a working system. I would simply like to construct a LAN using
the Linux system as a server with (2) Win 95 & (1)DOS workstation.
I have read hundreds of pages of doc files (those that I can actually
access on my linux machine), as well as spending many, many hours online
looking for answers...and finding very few.
The Samba home page suggested irc help sources...(I used irc for a few
hours about 5 years ago, and finding nothing but vulgar childish nonsense
on the channels, I deleted it) To make a long story shorter...irc
apparently hasn't changed much. The most populus channels on
irc.debian.org server offerred endless disjointed chatter filled with
vulgarity and adolescent sexual inuendo and no interest in responding to
help requests...needless to say, I have again deleted the irc client.
I do not have any personal feelings, positive or negative, regarding
Microsoft. I was genuinely interested in exploring an alternative
operating system. Especially a multi-user operating system. Linux looked
like the answer, but I am having trouble imagining actually accomplishing
work under this system. If I have to spend 80+ hours to configure a simple
network connection in my office, I am going to find it difficult to "pay
the bills". I have a 5-user NetWare package, and have configured and used
it with 4 workstations with FAR less difficulty.
In all honesty, and without intending to offend anyone, Linux appears to
me to be a very sophisticated "geek toy", rather than a useable tool for
business.
Being the eternal optimist,however, I still hope to achieve some degree
of success with Samba, and to recover some of the time already invested in
this project. Although I believe I would have served my purposes much
better by purchasing NT several weeks ago.
This venue will be my last attempt at configuring this system before a low
level format on the linux machine, and a return to accepted commercial
products.
Hoping for a breakthrough...
