Gordon, I've been doing 'engineering' work for nearly 50 years on what
is officially an 8th grade education.
There is such a thing as being self educated if that grammer school
actually taught you to read, and that reading is fun. Thats exactly how
I got to do some awfully interesting things in the last 50 years.
I had a thoroughly papered engineer tell me once that the sheepskin you
slept under was a hell of a lot more important than the one that *might*
be hanging on the wall.
Cheers, Gene

Subject: Cable modem dynamic IP
Date: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 00:18:44 -0400
Hello,
Here in Sherbrooke, Quebec (small town) the local cable company is going
to be rolling out it's Internet-via-Cable-modem service.
I wanted to have the service installed at my home office. My home office
would then ALWAYS be connected to the net.
I am a physician and have built a database on my server at my home office.
I would like to connect to that server from my other office at a clinic.
My idea was as follows. Use clinic computer to connect to the internet,
and then enter my server at the home office and use it's database.
My problem is that the cable company says that they use dynamic IPs for
the cable modems' connection to the internet. This SEEMS to me to prevent
me from entering my server via another connection to the internet.
Is there a way around this, without purchasing THEIR solution (a
COMMERCIAL access plan with FIXED IP address at much HIGHER rates)
Thanks very much
Michael J. Longval, MD

I have a Win98SE machine connected to Linux and everything is working
except for the SAMBA setup. I followed the SMB-HOWTO but in VMWare the
only system I see in 'Network Neighborhood' is the Win98SE system. The
NIC is set to 192.168.2.1 and the Win98SE system is set to the IP
address of 192.168.2.2.
Here's what I've done so far...
In the /etc/smb.conf file I've changed 'workgroup = Federation'
also changed 'server string = Linux Samba Server'
also uncommented 'hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.'
also changed 'security = share'
and finally added:
[cdrom]
comment = Plextor UltraPlex
public = yes
writable = no
path = /mnt/cdrom
Running 'testparm' gave me an OK and I have also manually started
/usr/sbin/smbd and /usr/sbin/nmbd. Can someone please tell me if what
I've done is correct so far and how to completely get my Linux PC
displayed in 'Network Neighborhood'?

1. We like to maintain the accounting for each user who is doing browsing
through Linux Server, i.e. when he is loged in for browsing and when he is

Date: Fri, 06 Aug 1999 05:51:21 GMT
I've run into a similiar problem transfering large files (ISO images) from
the internet with Windows. Best guess is it tries to cache the entire file
until the transfer is complete before writing it to the hard drive, or where
ever. If the cache fills, it dumps. I can command line ftp them in no
problem though. Seen this on W95, W98 and NT4SP3 and SP4.

Check the hardware list to make sure your printer, etc, are all compatible
with linux. Read the howto manuals on Samba. Use the linuxconf program, you
can run it from an xterm. Use www.google.com/linux to search for more
documents and howto's. Have fun!

As a default Mars shows up only those files containing no capitals.
