try LinNeighborhood the graphical front end for samba ..don't find it ? install it .

Virtual Iron was impressive , did you catch it ? virtual computing is definatly the future , currently i'm fooling with vmware ....what a mind bender to be able to run 3 or 4 fully functional systems off one PC at the same time ..forget wine and crossover , just use a throw away install. .i've been running a vm machine off a linux host pc for a few months and i tell you it's very stable . i think after i get done fooling with a mythtv- freevo type thingie i wanna build a SunRay set up or an advanced LTSP setup. so back to the bug is there some way to escalate it to get it in front of someone's eyes ? the last thing i want to do is post something on the MD club site or something and be told to try this and try that

i usuallly only clean install...no upgrades however i did upgrade one box from 10.0 to 10.1 it has security set to higher and i was nervious about putting 10.1 on it because of the mouse issue . after the upgrade my 1st and only md upgrade the mouse worked fine ( i strongly recommend never upgrading .. it blows away a majority of your needed settings i.e. apache stuff and i forget what else i had to re-config / re -tool ). i see the answer on the boards now, it's a security setting issue ..kinda funny it did occur to me today that these PC's have different security settings and the ones with low security have no problem . i like to set security to higher rather than standard . I tried the"fix" on the dual amd server and it is the answer , but it's still a bug and it still happens in 10.2 rc3 . so tell everyone to set security to the lowest level ? ha . one more thing ..why the heck wasn't mandrake at linux world 2005 is boston ? and why the heck wasn't mandrake at linux world 2004 in NY ? wtf http://www.ddmcse.com/linux anyway, K thank you for your time and help with this iissue . dd

your router appears to handle DHCP { the handing out of internal IP numbers 192.168.x.x and so on for a private internal lan } aka NAT it has a 1 usb port and 1 ethernet port either run each of them to the PC's or run the 1 ethernet out to a small 4 or 8 port switch/hub and plug both network cables from each PC into the switch/hub . the router will handle the LAN ip's and share the internet connection . its a router lan configuration issue . http://www.gconnect.net/downloads/pdf/BT_V...uter_Issue2.pdf you can use the routers' usb out port to connect the XP box and then use the ethernet out port for Linux , this will allow you to skip the switch/hub . this is an internet connection and has nothing to do with sharing files between boxes on the LAN personally i'd get the switch/hub cuz hooking up just one is never gonna be enough

this works Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection after a reboot the same entry is there but the mouse will not work I've noticed that unless i change to a different mouse i will not get a mouse i change from wheel to standard and immediately the mouse works i go back and set it to wheel and it still works. i reboot ..this is there : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection but the mouse does not work rebooting doesn't change entries in xorg.conf but it does make the mouse not work this pc happens to be a dual boot but none of the other pc's with this issue are dual boot HP/Compaq d220 2.4 ghz dual boot xp md 10.1 Section "Device" Identifier "device1" VendorName "Intel Corp."

a bit of work but i'lll get on it

boot into single user mode and reset the root password if you don't know how an easy way is to restart the install and use f2 or f1 i forget for other options then type "linux single " If you are using LILO, specify one of these options at the LILO boot prompt (if you are using the graphical LILO, you must press [Ctrl]-[x] to exit the graphical screen and go to the boot: prompt): boot: linux single boot: linux emergency

i have installed MD 10.1 on dozens of PC's and found this one complete pain in the neck issue that i still see happening in 10.2 .. the mouse .installation sees and sets up the mouse fine . after the 1st reboot the mouse doesn't work . on some PC's it is never an issue on others every time you reboot you have to reset the mouse . use the tab key and or navigate to a shell then use or type mcc to reset the mouse in hardware . it's bizarro and i figured it was just me or cd's or something but i have tried everything to get rid of the possiible causes . i see others having the same issue ..sure it's linux and a reboot is rarely needed so who cares . it's no easy to deploy work stations this way . anyone with some clues ? sample PC's: MD 10.1 intel p4 intel board 2.0ghz hp ps/2 wheel----------no problem MD 10.1 HP vectra brio PC 400mhz ----------50 / 50 chance no matter what mouse MD10.1 and 10.2 rc3 dell 600x lapper-----------no mouse period---- need to reset each reboot MD10.1 tyan smp amd 2100 dual hp ps/2 wheel -----------------no mouse after reboot MD 10.1 BOLData generic type pc amd 1.5ghz compaq ps/2 wheel -------------no issue this is a small sample i really was hoping to see the issue disappear in 10.2 but i don't think so
