IF the password is correct...
(make sure of capital vs lower case)...
Check what password authentication Samba is using...
WfW password authentication forces all uppercase...
Use of Linux autentication is best.
Also, if there are shares on the win machine that this user doesn't have
access to...
NET VIEW will fail.
Test with
net use \\Linux\homes
which should work for all valid users.

I guess I should have mention this in my previous post...
I think there are a couple different version of the DE-220. I think the
newer ones are PNP and the older ones are not. The ones I have are not
PNP. I had to run the DOS config program that came with the nic (or can
be downloaded from the D-Link site) to setup the hardware resources. I
set one of my cards to use port 300 irq 10, and the other port 320 irq
11. (note, I could only have one card in the computer at a time when
running the config program). I compiled the ne2000 driver as a module
and then added the following line to my /etc/conf.modules file:
options ne=0x300,0x320
I then added
/sbin/modprove ne
to one of my startup files.

yes folks, I just went and got a $35USD tulip card by bay networks
called net gear 310. I've had some no name and a d-link 530tx. the no
name brand never worked and I could not get support for them. the d-link
card worked fine, but was not detected during setup. the tulip card was
detected at setup and is the first time I've ever installed linux over a
network! I have an ftp server with RedHat, SuSE, and Slackware linux on
it.
I could install the SuSE over ftp, but I could not get the Redhat to
install over ftp.
has anyone ever got to setup redhat over ftp? I'm running windoze on my
other computers with no nfs. just ftp.
also, what other cards can be detected automatically at mindlessly
setup? ok experts, tell me about your mighty struggles! (get your fist
out of your nose!)

Thank you for your valuable input. Your useful answers will benifit

Subject: Trouble Getting Linux & Windows to Communicate
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 02:01:04 GMT
Ok, here's the deal: I have a Red Hat 6.0 box connected to a cable
modem that is a server for a windows network. The Linux box is running
ipchains to split up the 'net connection amongst the windows boxes. The
problem is that when you try to ping a windows box from the Linux server
- and vice versa, it fails to find the windows box. But the thing is
that the the ethernet card running from the server to the hub is
blinking (telling me the data is being sent), the hub is blinking
(telling me it's also receiving the data), and the ethernet card on the
windows computer i'm trying to ping is also flashing - so the ping is
being received. I don't understand why the computers are not
acknowledging each other. Can someone please help me?
The nic on the linux box is set at 192.168.1.1 (it's the gateway for
the windows boxes). The windows computers each have a 192.168.1.x
address and have their gateway set to 192.168.1.1. I've setup ipchains
before on a different network and didn't have this problem. The nic
serving the network is an ISA NE2000 10BaseT card. The windows nics are
NDC 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI cards which have been tried in both 10-full
duplex and 10-half duplex mode.
Many, many thanks,

Subject: NFS Question
Date: Sat, 14 Aug 1999 21:04:56 -0500
Has anyone ever had this problem? I'd appreciate some insight if you
have.
I've got Red Hat 6 one a server with an exports file as follows:
/ x.x.x.x(rw,no_root_squash)
On my Red Hat 4.2 server I've got my fstab as follows:
x.x.x.x:/ /mnt/nfs-web nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192
I can mount the x.x.x.x server in the /mnt/nfs-web directory fine. The
problem is that if I go to the /mnt/nfs-web/home directory there are no
directories. There are supposed to be 156 directories there. The same exists
for the usr and var directories. I can go into those directories but there's
nothing there. Literally, nothing. The etc directory works fine. All the
files and subdirectories are there.
I thought it might have something to do with an older nfs server
communicating with a new nfs server. The nfs packages seem to be different
between RH 6 and RH 4.2. BUT! I did a test by mounting a drive with RH 6 to
another RH 6 server and it did the same thing. I though about permissions
but they are standard 755 on those directories. It worked fine when I was
using RH 5.2 and RH 4.2. Now it doesn't.
Here's the actual root directory listing on the exported server (RH6):
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Aug 5 21:05 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jul 13 00:28 boot
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 34816 Aug 15 1999 dev
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 3072 Aug 14 20:24 etc
drwxr-xr-x 156 root root 3072 Aug 13 09:33 home
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 3072 Jul 12 23:57 lib
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Jul 12 23:39 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Aug 10 13:35 mnt
dr-xr-xr-x 82 root root 0 Aug 14 21:01 proc
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 1024 Aug 13 15:03 root
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Jul 12 23:58 sbin

drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 1024 Jul 12 23:56 usr
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 1024 Jul 12 23:58 var
Here's the same directory structure viewed from an nfs mount on the
RH4.2 server. Notice the directory count on home, usr and var are different.
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Aug 5 21:05 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jul 13 00:28 boot

If you need an NT version of tar you can find it at the link below. The
package is called Unix95 and the utilities that work well with NT are in the
32bit directory after you unzip them.

I have this exact same problem with Samba, although it usually
doesn't show-up with "ls". If I try to use "du" on a fairly full
directory (>100 files), I get exactly the same error messages you
describe.
Going through the optimizations mentioned in the speed.txt file
included with the Samba documentation made file transfers faster,
but I still have the "too many open files in system" errors.
If you find a solution to this problem, please post it in this

Or in the case of tulip, the de4x5 driver might have attached the card.
I had
this problem with some dec based cards. Check to see the de4x5 is not
configured
in your kernel, or mentioned in conf.modules.

I've been playing with this, and have had authentication problems.
Has anyone else been using this with shadow+md5 passwords. (RedHat6)
I never managed to get anything authenticated. Since this is a home

I've set users=*. That's sloppy, and I'd like to do better.

I believe you might be able to manage this with a program
called "dxpc". (Differential X Protocol Compressor.) It
attempts, in an X-smart fashion, to make X move faster
over a slow link. SSH does some of this, since it does
compress, but SSH is not X-smart, so it won't compress as
well as dxpc.
I need to do this, but I haven't actually checked it out,
yet. I believe you need to run dxpc on your firewall, itself.
Your firewall will have a valid IP address, and you can use
this as the DISPLAY of the remote machine. You will have to
set the DISPLAY on your firewall to your desktop machine
before you start dxpc.
So the remote machine sends all traffic to dxpc running on
your firewall, which it can see. The firewally decompresses
the X stream and sends it on to your system inside.
Like I said, I haven't actually done this, yet. But I need
to, one of these days.

I am trying to use my Linux box as a gateway to my ISP. I have the ppp
settings configured, I can dial out to my ISP and get IP, now I want to be
able to allow the other computer on my small network to have access to the
Internet through the gateway as well. I am using Redhat 5.2. Is it possible
to configure this through X? Let me know and help would be appreciated.

Subject: Linux crashes all the time, need help!!!
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 03:15:06 GMT
Hi! I am very new to linux and I got a PII Celeron 300A system with 128MB
RAM, Seagate Medalist 4.3 GB HD, ATI Rage II+ display. I installed RedHat
5.2(Apollo) on my system. It is very stable, except everytime I try to
install RPMs or compile other packages, the computer will restart itself
randomly (it actually restarts everytime when I try to install GTK). I have
reformat and reinstalled many many times with full installation, but it
doesn't seem to help at all. Since I am pretty new to this OS, the only
strange thing I notice is when I boot the system I got an error message as
"fpu using exception 16 error reporting". What does that message means? Can
it be related to the crash of my linux?? Could it be my hardwares? I need
advice, Please help!!
Thanks for your time
Mark

Linux RH 5.0, kernel 2.2.1. Configure 'Xwin32 4.01' in win98 as follows:
Connecting use 'rsh', login is 'demo', command uses:
"/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -ls -n 192.168.0.1/demo -display $DISPLAY".
IP of Linux machine is 192.168.0.1, name is 'linux'; win98 is
192.168.0.2, name is 'win98'. 'demo' is an existing account in Linux
machine. $DISPLAY is "win98.mygroup.com:0", 'mygroup.com' is my domain
name.
The error message of Xwin32 is "Permission denied", the FAQ in statnet
site said for this kind of error, it related to 'host.equiv' or
'.rhosts' file. I don't have either file.
Any idea???!!! Thanks a lot!
Please also email me.

I *think* it's an option you can set somewhere else. I read
a message a few days ago that I didn't understand (I'm new
to Linux) that said that to let non-root users use kpppd,
you should use the KDE file manager, right click on the
file, click on "properties," and click the "set uid" button.
Sounds like what you want.
Sorry to be so vague, but I've only just begun to try out
Linux the day before yesterday. At this point, I'm still
not sure that I see any reason to prefer it to Windows
(other than it's cost, and the fact that I don't own a whole
pile of Microsoft stock).

Sorry, the nic is a PRO120 100/10 Mbps PCI Bus Fast Ethernet Adapter,
although the file to install the Linux driver is called tulip. What do
you mean by checking the media selection?
