I have set up a Linux workstation and exploring the possibilities to migrate
from Microsoft to Linux. One issue I'm curious about is that my Microsoft
world is a peer-to-peer network (netbui) where I share folders and devices
across this simple network. I'm running Windows 98 in the Microsoft world
and Redhat Linux 7.0 in the Linux world. I'm not in a position to
immediately convert my legacy systems to Linux. But in the transition time
it would be nice to be able to share folders/devices across both worlds.
1. Is there a way to have my Linux machine share folders and/or devices
with the Microsoft world?

Yes there is.
Linux has a Server system calles Samba which can handle Windows network
devices. you have to start the samba server and then you can mount devices
with smbmount. for further explanation read the howtos for the samba
services

If you're truly using NetBEUI right now, you must either find a NetBEUI
stack for Linux (there is one from http://www.procom.com, but I gather
it only works on 2.0.x kernels) or convert your existing computers to
use NetBIOS over TCP/IP. The latter is the far easier proposition.
Once that's done, look into Samba (http://www.samba.org), which comes
with all major Linux distributions.

That's an answer that came from Apache. So the server IS working,
if you do the same from another machine what you receive?

Subject: Re: How to setup DNS on Linux w/ Linksys Router
Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 13:40:23 GMT
LinkSys router starts handing out IP addresses at around 192.168.1.100.
Make your linux box have IP address below this, such as 192.168.1.2, for
example. Next, manually configure the Linksys Router WAN IP address and
DNS servers, and specify 192.168.1.2 as the DNS server. This will cause
the linksys router to tell all your other machines to use the linux box as
their DNS server.

I usually contract for about $35 an hour when I "moonlight." Thats a
little less than twice what I make in my regular job. Plus I get to work
at my own pace, convert folks to linux, etc (Job security, don't have to worry
about the most of the ms nuts taking over that data). Not to mention
that if I ever quit my job (or get the pink slip), I'm developing a small customer
base.
I say never do work for a business for free, they don't give you their
product for free do they? For home users though, I will work for free or
at a considerable discount...

Well, I don't really have any clue on this, but I think that it is rather a
sign of some misconfiguration that of your hard disk actually dying. Of
course, it could possibly indicate a defective disk, but don't always
assume that the worst case has happened!

You might like to read the URL:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/software/inn-faq/part1/
It provides the answers to many of your questions, especially what is needed
to set up the username authentication to your newserver. You may also like to
read the appropriate RFC's for the USENET system as well.

Subject: Setup problem with Win98
Date: 22 May 2001 07:45:12 -0700
Configuration:
PII 350 MHz
192 RAM
100MHz MB
30G hard drive
20G partition for Win98
10G partition for Linux
After installing Linux (RedHat 7.0), when I reboot my machine, I get
this
repeating sequence happening: First, the Packard Bell splash comes up,
then
the Win98 splash comes up, then a blank screen with some info from the
autoexec.bat file (like, doskey), then it goes back to Packard Bell
splash screen and the seqeunce repeats.
I can boot to linux using the boot floppy.
Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks
Brian

When my Redhat Load up, it halts on "Loading Sound Module (via82cxxx) : "
I think there is something wrong with my sound module.
I have a resuce CD-ROM, but I don't know how to use it. Can someone please
tell me how to do it? Or do I have to re-install RH 7.0 again?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Making a Radeon card work. any hints?
Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 15:23:03 GMT
Hi,
I just put together a new system: 1.2 GHz T'bird, Asus A7M266 board, 256
megs crucial ram, SB Live platinum sound card, and an ornery 32mb ddr Radeon
card, all with RH 7.1. The card works in Win98.
So the redhat 7.1 install claims to recognize the card, but when testing the
x server, the install crashes. With xconfigurator, the machine crashes when
starting x.
I'm pretty new with Linux, so don't know much about altering the XF86config
file.
I've read that there is this DRI software that needs to be intalled for 3-D
rendering, but I don't know if this is necessary just to get video working.
I would like the card to run at 32 bits, though, as this what the card is
optimized for.
So, does anyone have experience with this card? If so, please let me know.
Thanks
