  • 2. Changing DNS for 500 scopes
    In our organization we have 4 DHCP servers with hundreds of scopes.... we need to update the DNS settings for each (our DNS servers have changed)....we could go into each scope.. open the scope options.. and change 006 DNS Servers to the new IP Addresses.... however doing so for hundreds of scopes would be rather cumbersome.... Is anybody aware of an alternative way? Perhaps a script of some sort? Thanks.

W2k network - share files with Linux machine?

Postby Peter B. » Thu, 19 Feb 2004 09:02:58 GMT

 I have a network at home that runs with two cat-5 hardwired desktop
machines running W2k pro with a WAP that is accessed by a laptop
running w2k pro and one running w98. 

 The network runs great with no issues to speak of. I just added a
third desktop for my nephew in his bedroom that is running Linux
(Lindows - Debian). 

 The Linux machine instantly recognized the network and connected to
the internet [ASDL] via the Linksys router/switch/firewall. That was a
piece of cake. 

 What I can't figure out is how to get the MS Dos machines and the
Linux computer to share files.

 Unfortunately my experience with Linux is just about zilch. 

 Any suggestions on getting these two different OS's to share files
and resources?

 TIA - Pete

1.Adding OS/2 Warp 3.0 to Network of W98SE, W2K and RH Linux machines

Hello,

I have a home network that consists of a RH Linux DHCP server, several
Windows 98SE machines and a Windows 2000 machine.  All the machines are
connected to a 10/100 switch and the Server is connected to the internet
using a cable modem.  Each of the Windows machines is set up using TCP/IP,
NetBEUI and IPX/SPX.  They all get their IP addresses from the Linux
machine.

I have an old pentium 133 that I installed OS/2 Warp Connect on.  I
installed a 3COM 3C900B-TPO network card along with drivers I downloaded
from 3Com.  When I open Network Neighborhood on any of the Windows machines
the name of the warp machine appears.  That is as far as I get.

I am looking for a tutorial or something to get up and running.

Anyhelp would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dana


2.WPS takes a long time to show shared files from a W2K peer machine

I have an eCS 1.2R installation with TCPIP and File and Print Client
only by NETBIOS over TCPIP (TCPBEUI). I can access shared resources
(files) on a W2K machine without problems by command line in a OS/2
window (NET VIEW, NET USE, etc.). I can do the same, without any
problem, with File Manager in a Win-OS2 session. The only difference
are the truncated 8.3 DOS names. My problem is when I try to access the
shared files from WPS. Directory trees (folders) are open immediately
but when changing to files view (icon view) it takes a long time to
read and present the icon files. Monitoring OS/2 machine NIC data flow
we can see this strange access, trying and trying to read I don't know
what! Maybe anything related to the icons? Names of the files? Any help
is welcome. Thanks in advance.

3.Samba: Problems playing MP3 files from W2K share

Hi!

I'm running Fedora Core 2 (kernel 2.6.8.1) with Samba 3.0.6 on an AMD
750MHz w/256MB RAM.  100Mbit network, 3c905b.

When trying to play files from a W2K share, the sound "skips" all the
time.  There is no extra network activity and my computers is quite idle
when this happens.

Copying files to/from the W2K computer is fast enough; 4.3MB in 5-6
seconds ought to be fast enough for my 128Kbit/sec-encoded MP3 files. :)

Here's the relevant data from the smb.conf file:

  [global]
      workgroup       = WORKGROUP
      netbios name    = DRUID
      server string   = Linux
      log file        = /var/log/samba/%m.log
      log level       = 0
      max log size    = 128
      socket options  = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
      max xmit        = 32768
      getwd cache     = yes
      dns proxy       = no
      password server = none
      username map    = /etc/samba/smbusers

I've tried messing with these settings quite much, without results.  The
problems arise no matter which player I use; xmms or rhythmbox.

I tried to ask this question in a Samba related group, but failed to
receive any answers there.

Any ideas?

4.Can't connect to shared drive on W2K machine from Windows 98 machine

When I try to connect to a shared drived on a Windows 2000
machine from a Windows 98 machine, I am prompted for a
password to connect to "machinename/IPC$" - the password
requested is not one known to me (i.e. - not an account on
the machine, etc.).  The Windows 98 machine does "see" the
W2K machine - i.e. - it shows up in the Network
Neighborhood.  So what am I doing wrong?  Thanks.

5.Network Printer help: Use a Shared Printer on a WinXP machine

Hello, I am new to Linux. I have the Slackware flavor installed,
version 9.1.  I am trying to use a shared printer on a Windows XP
machine.  I have verified that I can access the machine (ADDIE)
through the network with:

smb://Addie

in Konqueror (Note:  THis requires a USername/Password).  I do have
CUPS installed.  I tried adding the printer with the CUPS "Add
Printer" method.  Below is the infomation I added:

<First Page>
Name: Addie's Printer
Location: //Addie
Description:  Addie's Printer

<Second Page>
Device: Unknown Network Device(smb)

<third Page>
Device URL: smb://Addie/HPSC950

<fourth Page>
Make: HP

<fifth Page>
Model: HP PSC 950, Foomatic + hpijs (recommended) (en)

<sixth Page>

Tried Printing test page

Note:  I am not even sure if this is the correct path for the result I
want.  I every user on the Linux machine to be able to use this
printer with little or no initial setup on their part.  Any help woul
dbe appreciated, even if it involves other approaches.
