iirc You need a valid guest user account set up in samba for NN to displa=
y the
server correctly ..
guest account =3D smbguest
then create the "smbguest" user with a shell of /bin/false or (what I did=
) use
the default user "ftp" as your guest account.

Chris,
>From the output of ifconfig, it looks like you are able to obtain an ip
address from the DHCP server. If your situation is like mine was, you just
are not able to find the nameserver. To see if this is the case, type an IP
NUMBER not a name into netscape and see if you get any results. If it works,
you could try putting the line
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
into the file /etc/resolv.conf
You could find a nameserver by using nslookup, but from your ifconfig results
you are on the same network that I am. So, you might try putting:
nameserver 24.128.60.8
nameserver 24.128.60.7
I'm no expert, and there is likely a much better solution, but perhaps it will
tide you over until you find a better way.
Yours,
Andrew

The actual error is `ioctl(PPPIOCGUNIT): Operation not permitted'
See the reset of the thread for more details.
I copied the scripts from /usr/doc/packages/inetcfg
and altered and placed them in the directory /etc/ppp
This is what I wrote beforehand
I recently upgraded my laptop computer from Slackware 3.4 to
SuSE Linux 6.1. I did a clean installation.
I am trying to get SuSE Linux to
connect to Demon Internet, but I keep getting errors
from `pppd' where it said `operation not permitted'
in the file `/var/log/messages'. I have also downloaded
latest `pppd' 2.3.8 and it still did not work. Here are the
messages:
pppd[345]: pppd 2.3.8 started by root, uid 0
pppd[345]: kernel tty_io.c process (345) pppd used obsolete
`/dev/cua2' up date software to use `/dev/ttyS2'
...
...
pppd[345]: Serial connection established
pppd[345]: ioctl(PPPIOCGUNIT): Operation not permitted
pppd[345]: tcsetattr: Operation not permitted
pppd[345]: Exit
I checked everything that I could think of. I made sure that I tried
to connect as the superuser. I checked that `/dev/modem' is
symbolically linked to `/dev/ttyS2'. I also checked that the access
permissions for the program `pppd' and device files were set to
`root'. I have no difficulty dialing up to my ISP with my modem, but
everytime the connection is completed, the `pppd' collapses.
I have actually done `rm /dev/cua1'
because the `/etc/pcmcia/serial' script actually
assume that if /dev/cua1 exist your kernel will default
to /dev/cua*. This is nonsense for SuSE 6.1, because has
a kernel 2.2.5. Also I set MODEM=/dev/modem
in the /etc/rc.config
When I rebooted my machine /dev/modem is now symbolically
linked to /dev/ttyS2.
However I still get the same `ioctl(PPPIOCGUNIT)' failure.

You can run a web server on any amount of bandwidth.

My solution for it was 'reload' nfs instead of 'restart' or 'start'.
When I started or restarted nfs, I got a message like you get. If I
reload, what I get is a 'Permision dennied' message. I haven't been able to
find a solution for it yet. If you can mend it, please, comment to us.
Good luck.

Sounds like your route is hosed. You need to pass pppd the defaultroute

VNC works over TCP/IP, so it works as well (except, slower) over a ppp
connection as it does on a local network connection. I had no trouble
connecting to my Win95 box at work from my Linux box at home.
However, it you are trying to connect 2 Win98 machines using ppp directly,
you have to set up DUN correctly as a dialin server (I think somewhere in
the menus of the main DUN window). For the dialin machine you need to hard
code an IP in ControlPanel/Network/TCP/IP->DUN (for example 172.16.1.1).
For the remote, you can simply enter the same or similar IP into the DUN
connectoid (since Win routing is bassackwards you can use either the same
IP 172.16.1.1 or a different IP like 172.16.1.2).
Uncheck things you don't need like "Log into network" and "NetBIEU". For
the DUN connectoid, the name you enter does not matter, all it pays
attention to is whether the password matches the password in the DUN
server. You should probably have the same workgroup. If you want to
access the other machine by name instead of IP, you need entries in
\windows\hosts (or /etc/hosts for Linux).
