I posted here a topic smb-timed out... that was when im using the default kernel of mndk 10.1.. kernel -2.6.8.1-12, I have tried googling and found only the same problem of mine, so in my last post, I said that I will change my kernel to something higher , so I installed 2.6.8.1-24, but that does not cure the problem, I still cant transfer a 500 Mb of file to a windows pc thru LinNeighborhood... now, just this morning, I tried kernel-2.4.28-0.rc1.5mdkcustom... and I been able to transfer 600 Mb of mndk-iso to a windows PC, by doing that, it solved my smb-timed out problem.... so its not that necessary to upgrade, unless if, it really involves with great security issue....................

port 139 i think is for filesharing

when you finished your firewall, try to go to this link http://www.grc.com/default.htm

and click the shieds up to check your systems security. It will scan your pc from that site, and will give a summary of what had been done...

Linux USB Device Driver Support

Linux on Laptop

hope it may help you, try to check the BIOS setup, make sure the startup / boot options chooses scsi as the first to boot than IDE

maybe you can try to add this to your main.cf

inet_interfaces = 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.1

#note: 192.168.1.1 - this should be ur local IP, so change this to whatever ur local IP and of course 127 is ur loopback

mynetworks_style = host

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.1.0/24 xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24

# xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 assumes to be ur isp network

I created a Samba mountpoiunt thru the MCC, but noticed that I could not write to the Windows XP share

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

actually, you dont need to statically mount that share... you can use LinNeighborhood to browse for your windowze LAN pc and might be able to write to a windows XP shared folder even if its ntfs as long as you log on to that from your linux box using the username and passwd on ur XP that has a read,write or full access....

Linux Desktop support in the future, I think only time will tell, if linux will be a free os forever, then support will be always there, though there will be paid and free.. Onsite support for linux will depend on the support provider, online support, i think will be there as long as We, who log on this site still using linux as desktop.... so as long as people online who have a better understanding on linux, may it be desktop or server continue to share their Ideas voluntarilly thru forum, irc, or email, support is not a problem.

btw .. Using linux by an individual is voluntary, nobody forces any to use it,...

try this

Set up NAT on your gateway

If you have a private network that needs to share an Internet connection with one IP address, you'll want to use IP Masquerading on your gateway machine. Luckily, with iptables this is a simple two-liner:

# echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXT_IFACE -j MASQUERADE

where $EXT_IFACE is the outside interface of your gateway. Now any machines that reside on a network on any of the other interfaces in your gateway will be able to "get out" to the Internet. As far as the Net is concerned, all traffic originates from your gateway's external IP address.

ok, again, here i am reposting my problem... with my last post, I have said that i will try to change my kernel to something higher, though I already did that, but still I did'nt solved it.... I still got this error

Feb 3 12:49:21 xbox kernel: smb_add_request: request [c34a9b80, mid=18999] timed out!

Feb 3 12:49:25 xbox kernel: smb_add_request: request [c34a9c80, mid=19000] timed out!

Feb 3 12:49:27 xbox kernel: smb_add_request: request [c34a9a80, mid=46866] timed out!

this happened wether my pc was acting as a samba server and some windows clients accessing my shared files, or by accessing those windows shared files thru LenNeighborhood which, as my understanding, LenNeighborhood does not depend on samba service.....

my kernel now is 2.6.8.1-24 of mandrake 10.1

other info:

samba-client-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk

samba-common-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk

samba-server-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk

libsmbclient0-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk

I already tried googling about this problem, and found several similar of mine, but all of those I found have no solutions yet...

some links that contain similar problem of mine

when I still using mandrake 10.0 Official, I did not encounter this, but since using 10.1, that's the time that this problem occured. Is it a bug with the 2.6 kernel or with the smbfs and cifs?

hope some expert here can help me with this............. thanks in advance

I just want to use it in place of my current kernel

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

try 2 look at it at /usr/src/

if u find /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 and want to try to install it... try this..

first, issue uname -r to find what version your current working kernel.. then copy the working kernel config @ /boot ... uĺl find there several config-2.6.xxxxx, so issue cp /boot/config-2.xx-working-config /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/.config

then, issue make oldconfig, it will prompt some options...

then try make xconfig, or make menuconfig for GUI selection of options...

after that.. try to edit the Makefile under the kernel source and change ur extraversion=

then type make, then make modules_install, then make install

the make will create bzimage, will do the make modules also and the make install will do the rest, including the creation of additional entry in ur grub or lilo :P

hope it helps a little :D

maybe u can try to edit the /etc/fstab ... well, back-up it first

hi bunnadik

actually, i am not running samba since I only want to access or transfer file from my pc to a certain windowze share... I am running as a client so I dont need the samba config... Iĺl try that anyway, and also i am trying if I can upgrade my kernel to something higher, hoping this will solve the problem

hi

its been awhile that I encountered this kind of problem, I just dont bother to write it here coz i tried googling myself hoping to find some answer but still am not got any... this happend when I tried to access those windoze share to transfer and get some files from that other pc thru LenNeighborhood or smb4k, before, when still using mdk 10.0, even if Iĺl transfer 500MB of file, I never got this problem, but when going to this ver> 10.1, i always got this problem even if i only transfer 200MB or less or even if only reading files, at about 10 or 15 minutes after.. i got those erors below...........I never got this corrected... I already updated those files related to smb or samba.. client..

i am using the default kernel of mdk 10.1

hi yugi

with regards to tty/com

ttyS0 = com1

ttyS1 = com2

ur USR, is it external? if yes, i have tried to dial-up using this modem without any driver installation since its not a new modem at all.. maybe check the ttySx assignment.....

btw, r u trying to dial-up, or u want to accept dial-in connection?

hello to all

I really need help with regards to the topic mentioned... dial-in gateway using RH9.. though I am using Mandrake, when Ie tried mandrake to act as a dial-in gateway, I never been successful, so I tried Redhat 9 as alternative, though I got to the point that I can dial-in successfully after several hours of googling references about how to install dial-in - ppp - server...I am using 3COM U.S. Robotics 56K fax modem at the server...

.............and this is my problem.... I can dial-in from the client side successfully...... using windows 2000 for testing, though I am able to establish a connection, an ip will be assigned to PPP adapter but.... Aggghhh, i cant browse the internet... it says, ¨cant resolve the address i am trying to open¨, and i cant also open my yahoo messenger.. BUT, i can ping outside IP Address and all IP of LAN , i can even use some peer to peer filesharing software and download files from the internet. well i thought that maybe the problem is with the system of the client (M$2k), but, i have a connection thru lan which also uses the same RH9 as internet GW and there is no problem with regards to browsing... btw, when I attemp to dial-up to my RH9, i disabled the ethernet connected to LAN so that only PPP adapter will become the present adapter after establishing the connection.......... below are my configuration setup of my RH9 box

internet ----------123.123.123.24----------- eth0 of |RH9 Box|------------ttyS0---3com-usr-faxmodem

note: when connected, the client IP and default gateway becomes 192.168.1.102

at the RH9 ... it logs... local IP is 192.168.1.101 - remote ip is 192.168.1.102

this means that i can dial-in using the users in RH9 box

If anyone out there already tried this successfully, pls give me an idea......, i am really tired of thinking what seems to be the solution on how to fix the problem..

thanks in advance....

What module do you want to load? Are you sure it isn't loaded (in a console type: lsmod) What errors do you get when you load it? (type: modprobe <name of module>

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I tried this

root>#modprobe serial

FATAL: Module serial not found.

also, when i use drakhardware.... d errors are below

# drakhardware

FATAL: Module serial not found.

FATAL: Module serial not found.

Please wait while probing serial ports...

FATAL: Module serial not found.

FATAL: Module serial not found.

How can I insert or install this module?

hello to all.

pls help me, i want to load the kernel module that will support serial or ttysX, coz i think, it wasnt loaded, bcoz, if ill try to install an external modem to accept dial-in... mgetty and other requirements were installed already, but i always get an error something like below...

Jan 11 14:13:51 locahost mgetty[2991]: mod: cannot open line /dev/ttys0: Input/output error

Jan 11 14:13:51 localhost mgetty[2991]: open device /dev/ttys0 failed: Input/output error

Jan 11 14:13:51 localhost mgetty[2991]: cannot get terminal line dev=ttys0, exiting: Input/output error

Jan 11 14:13:51 localhost init: Id "S0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

.

the modem is ok, since I tried is to dial to a local isp and it works...

.

.pls, anybody, help, what should i do about it?

happy new year to all... ive just installed mdk10.1-official, actually, as upgrade from 10.0. I was able to successfully install Xchm-0.8.4 thru RPM together with the pre-requisite files ...these are .. libchm0-0.31-2mdk.i586.rpm* wxGTK-2.4.2-1mdk.i586.rpm, libwxgtk2.4-2.4.2-1mdk.i586.rpm.. using mdk10.0, i didnt encounter any problem, but upon using 10.1, this are the errors encountered..................

xchm: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2-2.4.so.0: undefined symbol: _gtk_accel_group_attach

how should i fix his so i can open chm files again?, pls... any help there would be very much appreciated... tia

hi, i've just finished installing mdk10.1, but I got this problem on installing linneighborhood, it seems that the package manager "drakrpm" does'nt know that this linneighborhood exist, I tried to manuallly find on the installation cd (disk 1-3) but its not there, i know I can install it using other source, but it shold be included on the CDs according to its new features, well, anybody that has an idea that can help, pls... and merry christmas to all!!!

btw, installation cd's are from iso's i downloaded from mirrors, i check the corresponding md5sum and it matched those listed on mandrake page, so I think my installation cd's are fine....

the md5sum is the command we issued in linux to check the md5 checksum of a certain file, for me, i would not try to use ur iso, maybe it was a modified iso or was corrupted during you downloaded it...

....

I think, pcmcia packages were not installed yet in your machine, try to use the software package manager then look for pcmcia...

try to check ur hardware compatibiity here http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/hardware.php3

hi, just want to suggest, maybe u should check at the mandrake website if ur new hardware are already supported with the mandrake distro u have, as u have said that the Mandrake u have in hand works fine with ur older machine but not with the new one, so it shouldnt be a cd installer problem, maybe a hardware support problem... i would like to suggest also that u should try mandrake 10 release.. :)
