Problem with wireless access point(?)

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi gang, I just purchased a Linksys WRT54GL wireless access point. Currently, it is running the stock firmware (upgraded to the latest version). I may put Linux on it sometime in the near future. While I can get connected to it with my Linux laptop, I notice that file transfers start at a screamingly fast rate, and within a minute or two, drop to barely a trickle. When I used an entirely hard wired connection, I have no such problem. Has anybody else noticed this with the Linksys WRT54GL? If so, will the Linux software solve this problem? I don't believe that the problem lies with the wireless hardware/software in my laptop since I have used it on other wireless access points without problems.

Re: [Wlug] Mounting Windows Shares on Solaris

by Randall Mason

This is the magic of GNOME's vfs. No mounting and it looks like files. It's like a GNOME centric FUSE that has existed for years. The Java desktop is just a little SUN paint on top of GNOME; it has absolutely nothing to do with Java, that's just SUN's highest value trademark... -Randall On 12/14/09, Chuck Noyes <vze284qe(a)verizon.net> wrote: > > Answering my own post... > > If I bring up the Java desktop and go to "Network Places" and enter > "smb://Windows-hostname/share", it works - I can see the files on the > Windows host. > > I have no idea how this works!

Re: [Wlug] Mounting Windows Shares on Solaris

by Brian Conway

You can probably do the same with 'smbclient'. I imagine the desktop navigation tool is using the Samba libraries to connect, both of which should all work without any kernel support for the filesystem.

Re: [Wlug] Mounting Windows Shares on Solaris

by Chuck Noyes

Answering my own post... If I bring up the Java desktop and go to "Network Places" and enter "smb://Windows-hostname/share", it works - I can see the files on the Windows host. I have no idea how this works! Nothing gets mounted - the mount command shows the windows host isn't mounted. Is this accomplished through the "magic" of Java? I can't figure out how to do this through the command line, which is what I really need to do. I'll keep at it and see what happens. -Chuck On Dec 12, 2009, at 11:09 AM, Chuck Noyes wrote: > Hi All, > > Maybe a bit [OT], but I've got a Solaris 10u8 host, and I'd like to be able to mount a Windows share on the Solaris box. > I don't think Solaris supports the smbfs or cifs file systems (at least I can't find any evidence of it).

Re: [Wlug] Mounting Windows Shares on Solaris

by Adam Gomes

Is it Solaris or OpenSolaris? If it's OpenSolaris, It does support FUSE, and you can probably abstract the SMB stuff through fuse. If not, then the proposed NFS solution is probably your only option. Solaris supported File Systems: http://sun.systemnews.com/articles/123/4/sw/19848 On Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 11:09 AM, Chuck Noyes <vze284qe(a)verizon.net> wrote: > Hi All, > > Maybe a bit [OT], but I've got a Solaris 10u8 host, and I'd like to be able > to mount a Windows share on the Solaris box. > I don't think Solaris supports the smbfs or cifs file systems (at least I > can't find any evidence of it).

I would share the share via NFS.

Re: [Wlug] Mounting Windows Shares on Solaris

by Jorden Mauro

On Linux, you need to fiddle with the kernel to mount new filesystem types. I would think it's the same with Slowlaris. Unless they have something like FUSE. There might be a module you need to compile/load. I'm pretty sure I've seen it done, though.
