Hello,
I have two servers running with bind 8.2 (primary & secondary), I use

I am a NT Tech who is playing with Linux and Samba for the first time. I am
pretty sure everything is configured properly, except for two usability
issues:
The first issue is I would like to know how to browse my NT servers from the
Linux box. Is there a Samba browsing utility I am missing?
Second, I have read and write access configured for each user, in their own
directory which is created when you create the local linux account, but this
only allows for file storage. How can users be given access to each other's
folders for file sharing?
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Subject: RH5.2 won't detect my NIC
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 07:04:45 GMT
Hello.
I've installed RH5.2 and wanted to try a simple home network between
it and my Win98 machine. Everything installed fine except that for
some reason, when I would go into X, run linuxconf, and go into the
networking section, I would have to manually activate my eth0
connection even though it was set to activate at boot time. Then
after I close the networking menu and reopen it, it would be
deactivated again. Whenever I would call linuxconf through the xterm
window without a trailing "&" behind it, and then choose to activate
eth0, it gave me the message saying "eth0 delayed" - and then later
"no such device eth0" (or something to the effect of these msgs)..
So I had the idea to try and do a reinstall of RH through a Win98
shared drive. I created the supplemental disk it said I required and
when prompted to choose a networking card, I chose the NE2000
compatible ISA card. I let it autoprobe it only to see that it could
find no such device. I read the card's manual and tried to specify
the i/o address and irq info of the card to RH but it still could not
find the card.
The card I am using is a Kingston Technologies KNE20T ISA PNP NIC.
My Win98 machine has an identical card and locates it fine. I have a
RJ-45 cable running between the machines. The card is noted to be
100% software compatible with Novell's NE2000 compliant series
Ethernet adapter drivers.
Is there any way I can make Linux detect this card? Since I'm trying
to do it from the install now, preferrably what I can do in this area
to get it running.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thank You
Jason

Collisions are a natural and expected part of Ethernet (CSMA/CD)
They happen when two (or more) ethernet NICs try to transmit at the
same time. There's logic in the ethernet hardware to accomodate this,
and transmission retry occurs accordingly.

No no no no! Connections to "localhost" are made through the loopback
device - therefore it works even if you have no network card at all!

identd allows remote sites to ask what user on your site initiated a

and the remote host contacts your identd to find out the user id (or
similar information) that did it.
It's not necessary for sendmail transport, though it could theoretically

While we don't do this across the internet we do dial in to the local lan

Along the same lines, I have a slightly different problem. Identd does not
seem to be located on my RH 5.2 system. Where can I find it? What's
interesting is that inetd.conf references identd for authentication but it's
not on my system. Hmmm

Also the subnet should be the same on all PC's. Though specifying the
Network and the Broadcast is not necessary, since a correct IP # and Subnet
automatically gives both Network Number and Broadcast Number.

Subject: DNS Config
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 22:39:37 -0500
Hello All,
I've been attempting to setup DNS on my box running RHL6.0. Though I may
have succeed in configuring some of the files, I don't believe that it is
functioning properly yet. I've tried to set it up with resolver-only and
primary configurations.
However, the resources I have been using (DNS-HOWTO & TCP/IP Networking -
Oreilly) leaves me a bit confused.
1. The HOWTO states that you need to config named.conf and any appropriate
zone files. Oreilly says you need to config named.boot. They are different
files and tho I have attempted to config them both, are they both needed?
2. Setting a single nameserver (working on a LAN) to 127.0.0.1 or the IP
address of the current host also gives me problems. The only way I can
launch Netscape (from within xwin) is if I set the nameserver to something
other than my host. Why is this?
3. When using nslookup my default server is my hostname.hostdomain. In my
attempt to recreate my mistake a reset all my named conf files to their
original settings. However, the default server (when using nslookup) still
remains my hostname.hostdomain as opposed to 'localhost.localdomain'.
I'm very close to setting up this DNS. However, the my resources still
leave me a bit confused. Any help is appreciated.

Subject: Cable modem not working...
Date: 23 Jun 1999 07:30:54 GMT
I have slackware 4.0 installed on my system and I cannot get my cable modem
to work. To start off www.bresnanlink.net is my ISP, it does not require
authentication, etc. like rr. I have 2 , that's right, 2 NIC's in my
computer, due to it being a gateway machine on my network. The first, eth0
is for the LAN, and the second, eth1 is for the cable modem. It has
successfully worked under Windows95/98/NT4.0 and even Windows NT5 (2000)
beta 3, build 2045. It has ALSO worked under Redhat 6.0. However, it
doesn't want to work under Slackware 4.0. I have been at this 3 days now,
read all the how-to's, faq's, manpages, have been on IRC the entire time,
and unfortunatley, NOBODY can tell me what's going on. I have recompiled my
kernel, included the necessary support for it, both of my NICs are detected
upon bootup, ifconfig -a shows lo, eth0, and eth1.. my LAN NIC works fine,
I can ping the other computer on the network without a problem, but when I
dhcpcd eth1, it timed out and in the /var/log/syslog it says:
"timed out waiting for a valid dhcp server response."
All of my resolv.conf, hosts.conf, rc.d/* is all fine (I am pretty sure). I
have also tried compiling a newer version fo dhcpcd, however, it requires
net/ethernet.h and I imagine other header files, which are glibc. Slackware
4.0 as you know is libc5, and upon installing the glibc package, slackware
dies on me, and the only way I can reboot my computer is pulling the plug.
My cards are LinkSys 10/100 PCI cards, no problems with either of them as
well. I have also tried switching the cables around, aka eth0 is cable
modem, eth1 is lan. The lan still worked, but nope, cable modem didn't.
LINUX is LINUX, and I'm certian if it will work under redhat, it WILL work
under Slackware. I just need to find out HOW. Also another strange feature,
if I ifconfig eth1 208.154.20.222 (the IP address I'm normally leased) I
can ping my nameserver, 208.154.20.1, but I cannot ping any foreign IP
addreses, nor resolve any text hostnames, such as, say www.lycos.com. I
really can't figure out what's going on here, I've even went and tried
using 'pump' which someone said to use, unfortunatley it only is available
in rpm format, so I installed alien, extracted it, then it wouldn't run.
Another problem on the list. ANY HELP is extremely appriciated, I haven't
slept in days, and still have found no answers. Thanks.

If you are using Windows 95 you will need a Null modem .inf driver, one
of which is available from:
http://www.vt.edu:10021/K/kewells/net/mdmcisc2.inf
There is already one included with Windows 98.
Depending on what luck you get with how getty wakes up you may need to
edit you Dial-up networking script on the Windows machine to send a
carraige return before scanning for the ogin: and assword: prompts.

Subject: Win95 msg - "This computer name is invalid"

Greetings,
Having spend the last two days fiddling around with samba, I have got it
now to the point that win95 gives the message "This computer name in
invalid". I got very exited at this as it was the first new error message
for several hours, but not I would like to get rid of it :). Any
suggestions?
Cheers,
Martin
