Humm...Do you know what version of samba you are using? Here I up'ed to
samba-2.0.4 by RPM and discovered the loss of several pieces of the
software. Re-installed samba-2.0.3 and got them back. In your case, I
beleive that smbclient should be in a user accessable bin dir (here the
smb* programs are in /usr/bin, YMMV.)
[snip failed smbmounts]
Most of this looks like a version conflict. Try smbmount with no args
and look for the version.

Subject: Re: help needed w. Diamond 336i modem installation
Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 07:23:25 GMT
There is a pretty good chance that your modem is a Diamond SupraExpress 336i
PnP Voice/Fax modem, i.e. the same as mine. I've spent the last week getting
mine to work and finally succeeded last night, so here's what advice I can
give:
this is diamond's FAQ for using their modems with linux:
http://www.diamondmm.com/products/faxback/communications/1332.html
this is the closest to actual documentation you'll ever find:
http://www.diamondmm.com/products/manuals/SE336df/336toc.htm
As for getting it working, I put mine on serial port 3 (/dev/ttyS2) with I/O
port 0x03e8 and IRQ 10 using isapnptools (remember to run "isapnp
isapnp.conf" after changing your isapnp.conf so that your new settings can
take effect). My main problem occurred when I tried to set up my serial port
with setserial, doing it manually with "setserial /dev/ttyS2 port x3e8 irq
10 uart 16550" simply didn't work. Instead I used "setserial /dev/ttyS2
auto_irq skip_test autoconfig" which somehow works properly even though it
does the exact same thing.
Please keep in touch, seeing as you are the only other person I know that
has this modem. I had the advantage of being able to copy my Window 95 modem
settings, which you may not have. I am sure that Diamond has PnP setup
software for dos on their site, if you are able to run that OS.
Hope this helps (btw I'll admit I'm a little excited to help anyone else out
right now, I got my own modem working just last night after an entire week
of trying!)

For me, it was a matter of increasing the TIMEOUT time in the chat script.
However, once I was connected I quickly discovered that /etc/conf.modules
was missing three important entries:
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
Without these aliases, you'll see "modprobe: can't locate module
ppp-compress-2x" entries in /var/log/messages.

Guess I should have been clearer. You have to give an NT username and
password. NT will not recognize UNIX authorization. The username you give
withthe smbmount command must either be a local account on the NT box or,
if the target NT machine is a member of a domain, a domain account
username.

There is page just about IPX over PPP. I'm currently using 2.2.4 kernel with
pppd 2.3.7 without any problems. I suspect, you have routing problems (IPX
routing is different from TCP/IP).

There is page about IPX over PPP. On this page is also subpage about IPX/SPX
routing with much more detailed description. So I skip all below (sorry).
So far this page was helpful. If somebody has remarks, I'm glad to hear them.

I want to replace a Netware 4.1 server by a Samba server on Linux Red

The current Netware server supports about 50 users runnning the same

Subject: [HELP]: tcpdump question
Date: 22 May 1999 09:09:50 GMT
I have 3 machines set up on a LAN (coax). One of the machines, the
Linux box, is dialled into my ISP. It has a subnet of 8 IP addresses.
One of the other machines is a Windows 98 machine. When I tried to
troubleshoot a network connection problem I was having I noticed
some interesting things in the tcpdump of eth0. I got all sorts of
packets that looked like this:
17:04:18.216779 0:0:e8:d8:ff:3 null > 0:40:5:27:95:80 sap 45 I (s=0,r=20,C) len=42

11e5 1b58 0d7d c031 b73b 4ab6 5010 fa00
001d 0000 2020 2020 2000
The first ethernet address is the Win98 box. The second is the Linux
box. I've never seen this type of packet before and I don't really
know what it means.
Could someone explain this to me?
Interestingly, the conversation is riddled with attempts by my Linux
box attempting to send icmp packets to the machine my Win98 is talking
to (and Win98 is talking to it directly; its not through a proxy).
Is this some sort of weird validation setting in Linux?

The MediaOne setup is dependent on the network card. When they set up your
computer they tell their system to recognize that particular network card. When
you change computers, you need to call them and give them some information about
your new network card. You should also let them set the IP address of your card.
Next week I am going to set up my Linux machine with MediaOne. I'll let you know
how things went.

Irq7 is your printer(lp1),Irq5 is the modem.
The sound card(sb uses Irq7).
Check the Cmos setup for printer's Irq.

The other option is use a PS-2 mouse and free up the com ports.
