Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 18:25:55 +1000
I am trying to set up Samba to be a printer server for my windows 98
computer.
I have linux redhat 6.0 on a serperate computer.
I have network cards and a cable
I have never ever setup a network before, between computers.
I know nothing at all about setting up networks.
I have indeed read a great deal of documentation about setting up samba, but
i dont understand a great deal of the words used in the instructions.
I have my printer set up under linux.
Please help with details for a mega newbie if you can :)

I didn't use slackware i use redhat. But i think first load the module and
then start (in redhat) /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs script.

Problem is that we are on a cable network. (which is big LAN). Everyone has
a so-called
gateway and the gateway is the only one who seems to 'know' the hw-addresses
of his clients.
So I guess it is impossible.
You may wonder why : Someone tried to break into the computer of a friend of
mine on the cable network,
problem is that he was only able to retrieve his hardware address. (Don't
ask why). So know we need
to know the attackers IP address so we can contact him or our ISP and tell
them about it.

Almer. S. Tigelaar.

Subject: An answer to DHCP and WINS.
I posted a question earlier in the week,
I am able to issue IP, but my wintel box aren't able to login to NT Server.
=============
Everyone been telling me it a DNS problem, but it wasn't. I had to add to
more option lines to my dhcpd.conf file for WINS support.
You see all my wintel machine were getting IP and they were able to browse
the internet, but they weren't able to log in to the NT Server. The message
I was getting unable to find Domain to login to. So I try ping the NT box,
you could, but I could arp it.
So I sat down, print out the man page on dhcpd.conf and found that there are
options to add for WINS support. I try these two;
option ntp-servers
option netbios-name-servers
Some have say to just add the second line, but you need both. Wintel aren't
happy unless they see both.
Now my wintel boxes and happy cuz they can log in the network and surf the
internet, and they don't know that are using DHCP.
Thanks again.
Chuck
Oh, just in case you like to know how to print out a man, here the answer to

Just updated from Suse 5.1 to 6.1 (kernel updated too) and although the PCI
"eth0" card (RealTech 8139 based) was found and the driver invoked, when
pinging the card:
"ping : send to : No buffer space available " was the response string.
Can't seem to track down where this buffer is and how to make it happy. Any
leads on this?

Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 10:36:23 GMT
Unless you did not enable syslog to start at bootup, it should already be
running. All I did on my RH60 system was edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog and
added -r to the "start" section of the script (see below). Then (as root)
type: ./syslog restart I did not add any entries to /etc/inetd.conf. At
least not on my setup.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting system logger: "
# we don't want the MARK ticks
daemon syslogd -m 0 -r
echo
echo -n "Starting kernel logger: "
daemon klogd
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/syslog
;;
Obviously, you will then have to edit the appropiate syslog.conf file on the
other hosts to log to this loghost. If I understood your post correctly, you
have already done that.

Hello!
I'm having troubles with configuring static ip that my isp assigned to me.
I read all the documentation i could but still can't solve the problem :(
When i put my static ip into /etc/ppp/options (0.0.0.0: --> 205.147.76.17)
i can't connect, here's the log:
Aug 16 03:46:08 opnemonx chat[599]: CONNECT

And that's all, when i'm trying to ping something i'm getting messsages
"the network is unreachable". Now the log of ussual connection with dynamic

This sounds a useful piece of software which I haven't hear of. Is it
freeware/shareware? If so, do you have an URL?
Also. do you know of a Linux app which will read MSBACKUP tapes?

Subject: Re: delaying eth1 initialization
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 11:10:28 GMT
I don't use the same NIC cards as you, but had the same problem. Try adding
an alias to the file /etc/conf.modules (see below) so that it will load the
driver (prior to the network stack being brought up). Which by the way, is
why you are getting your "delaying eth1 initialization" message.
In your case, you will probably have to add some additional information
(like irq/io address) to this file to tell the kernel which card is eth0,
eth1. On my system (RH60) there is a file in the /boot directory called
module.info that has some good infoformation on what that particular
driver/module is expecting for directives placed in the conf.modules file.
ie How to specifiy irq/baseio per driver. Since I'm using two different
drivers, I did not have to specifiy the irq/baseio stuff.
Good Luck
