Subject: [newbie] Sound Card and Printers
Hi,
A couple of clarifications:
1. Sound Card - When i configure my sound card using sndconfig my sound
card gets detected by the utility. It then displays a message that it
plays a 8 bit sound for test purposes. The problem occured here - the
voice kept on repeating and the system hung with keyboard and mouse both
not responding.

Classic IRQ problem.
You could try modifying the PNP settings as suggested, but I'll bet that
the IRQ is being shared with other PCI devices because it's "hard wired"
on the motherboard to other PCI slots... (as all motherboards do to an
extent folks...).
You should first try moving the sound card to another slot and see if
this helps.

2. Printer - How do i configure printers? All the printers in my office
are a part of a domain in a Win NT network. How do i configure for these
printers.

You'll need to set up SAMBA on your computer and configure your machine
to part of the same Domain. Once you can get SMBCLIENT to browse the
shares, you will be able to attach to the printers as remote devices.
When configuring Samba, remember to point it to the PDC for the browse
lists, password controller, etc.
You should then make sure that you have an account on the domain with
the same username and password as that you use in Linux so that
credentials may be exchanged.
