Hi all,
Well here's the problem. I used to run a W98 OS in a peer-to-peer network of 3
PC's (all running W98) in my flat. One of the PC's (not mine) has a printer
attached. I've switched to SuSE 6.1 and was enjoying the learning curve but
this has me truly stuck. I assume that I should use samba but the how-to I used
obviously assumed a level of skill that I haven't got ;-)....yet!
About as far as I've got is being able to look through my friends HD but using
the following command:
smbclient //Nick/nick -I 192.168.1.2
All well and good, but I'm really just fumbling around. What I'm really looking
for is for me to be able to print seamlessly to the printer (a HP 500C) from
StarOffice 5 (I'm using a Gnome/Enlightenment(CVS) combination)
Err.....this isn't structured very well, here are some fact I hope will help!
The TCP/IP network (NetBIOS is also running) is runing fine when I boot into
W98, and I can ping the other two PC's when in linux, but how do I get from
there to printing on the printer attached to "Nick" (192.168.1.2)....?
If someone could give some detailed instructions on this, or point me to a
FAQ/how-to that's understandable to a Linux newbie, or even both, that would be
great!
Thanks in advance!

Have you had any responses to this yet? I would also like to
have a Linux app that can generate these packets.
Where did you find the dos/win apps to send magic packets?

Ed,
There is no way you can initiate a connection onto a node that sits
behind your single IP firewall. Mainly because there is no way for your
client station to get packets routed to a box inside your private
network. Your private network is (if you set it up correctly) ion a non
routable address range.
What can be done is that you allow your remote client to log onto your
firewall and from there telnet your inside host. Telnet is not a sure
way, ssh is better. Your firewall knows how to route packets to its
other interface (network card) and to your inner system.

In order to use smtp and pop through MS proxy server you need the winsock
proxy client. Which, being a windows app, won't run on Linux. We had a
similar problem at the office with an AS/400. Being that we already had a
dedicated Internet connection and a domain name, the solution was pretty
simple (though not free!) We spent $425 and run our own windows-based
internal Internet mail server (SLMail from Seattle Labs). Then you can use
your Linux mail client to check mail locally without going through the proxy.
Aside from running your own mail server, I can't think of any other way to do
it.
If anybody else can, I'd like to know too!

Hello.
I've got two Network cards in one machine. One is to a cablemodem and
the other to a DSL line. (from different ISPs). I can get eth0 working
and runnning (internet is great) I can get the Kernel to recognize eth1.
But once eth1 is there I have no more internet. I've used ping to see if
teh cards respond (both do) But I can't get it to let me have both cards
on the machine at once. You might wonder why I want two lines to the
Internet. The Cablemodem comes with 4 free static IPs and I'm testing
running some of the server software for my company. The second one is
used for personal use once this cablemodem is gone. I haven't set up
only the DSL to see if it works solo. Any hints? The default gateway is
set to the gateway of the cablemodem, Ifconfig sees both cards. The DSL
card has around 4500 RX packets but zero's everywhere else.

Hi all,
I have a Linksys 10/100 nic installed in a machine running RH5.2 The
nic is using the tulip driver as specified my linksys...and is working.
Just curious, do the card still autosense 10 or 100 connetions? I
transferred a few files over the network with ftp, and it did seem to
take a great deal of time. Do I need to edit something to tell the card
to use the 100 mbs mode, or is it auto.

dear all,
if a machine has both an ethernet connection (say, DSL) and a modem PPP
connection at the same time, which connection gets preference for things
like telnet and netscape?
i'm trying to get my DSL connection configured, but the PPP connection is
my best resource (usenet, dejanews...), so i'd like to keep that connection
open. is there a way of trying to telnet or netscape by using the ethernet
instead of the PPP connection? the idea is to test the DSL connection
while keeping PPP open so i can continue to look for resources to help me.
also, if your system is connected via ethernet (say, DSL again) where does
gateway and subnet mask information go?
how do you tell the ethernet card what your static IP address is? is that
the role of ifconfig?

Subject: socks5 problems
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: 25 Aug 99 23:14:36 EDT
hi all...
I have a 3 user network with 1 pc hooked to the internet through a cable modem. One
of the client PC's is a Linux
box and is accessing the Internet through the Proxy.
Netscape is fine under linux, because it has built in proxy support. However, my ICQ
program (licq) and a few
other internet progs don't have such support. I had to install a socks client on this
PC to get these few programs
running over the Proxy. Heres the problem:
Whenever I try to use any socksified programs, it takes a good minute or more for
those programs to do what they
are supposed to. For instance, whenever I tell LICQ to go "Online" it seems to just
sit there, and the program
acts as if it has frozen completely. However, appx 2 minutes later (sometimes more)
the program miraculously
un-freezes itself, and functions normally (with the occasional dropping to offline
status).
To make matters worse, once I install socks (btw, it is socks5) it affects Netscape,
so it too does the same thing
the other progs are doing (appearing to freeze).
Can anyone:
1. explain why socks has this bizarre connection ritual
2. explain if it's normal
3. explain, if it's not normal, how to fix it
help would be much appreciated on this one guys....
thanx in advance

Hi,

What could be wrong ? The redhat6.0 is freshly installed with no
changes in the sendmail configuration. I can ping mail.testsite.com and I
can send mail to sendmail daemon, but just can't get the response from
sendmail daemon to receive my mail. I have also tested locally in the redhat

This did the trick for me -- like many , my transfer speed dropped
dramatically when I upgraded to 6.0. To make it permanent, I just copied
the echoed init string from minicom into the kppp modem setup, replacing
the "ATZ". I went from ~1kB to sustained ~5kb transfer on multi-MB files.

Use whois to determine the email address of his ISP's
Administrative contact.
Email the admin in charge, telling him that one of his users
has repeatedly attempted to break into your system. Include
the relevant copies of your syslogs to show the intruder's IP
address, and the time and date of the attacks. Ask the admin to
ensure that the intrusions stop immediately.
Keep copies of everything. If the intrusions continue, escalate
to the relevant legal authorities (your local law enforcement offices
computer crime department).

Hello,
In order to access Internet from Linux box via MS-Proxy you need to
configure client to use SOCKS proxy. And all of your programs need to be
adopted to use SOCKS proxy.
For more info take a look at Proxy HOWTO at www.linux.com

You're right. There are some oddities that at least suggest ip masqing may
be used, like the fact that ports 60000-65535 are much used, but nothing they
can use as proof. BTW, I doubt they have any legal base here, because it's
practicly impossible to define what 1 comp is. Is a SMP system 1 comp? Is a
beowulf cluster 1 comp? You should be fine as long as you don't go selling
the connection to others.

Subject: Netmeeting and LINUX server ???
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 16:38:13 GMT
Hi.
I want in our Intranet to use Netmeeting.
In Microsoft architecture, Netmeeting use an LDAP service called ILS
(Internet Locator Service) to find all peaple connected actually to the
Network.
But my server is a Linux server and I want to know if I can find a service
like "ILS" running on LINUX.
Can someone give me a good site where I can find softwares to build an
Intranet with LINUX. I want services running on LINUX but with MS Windows NT
Workstation for the clients (Word,Outlook,Netmeeting,IE4 or Netscape)
Can some tell me if is there a good Mail server on LINUX that give a good
integration with MS OUTLOOK for the client side. (Not MS Outlook Express).
Many thanks in advance.

I am not sure whether madrake file structure is similar to redhat.
Well I use the following command for redhat :
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart"
If is not there, u can do find command : "find / -name sendmail
Cheers
