Hi all,
Well, may be somebody of you need this information, if not u can ignore it... ;p
Well, samba server and its connection to Windows 9* basicly only need this configuration done.
It works fine with me here, RedHat 7.2 and its default application ( Including Samba )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When u install and configuring samba, u must be defining this main several configuration bellow.....
1. Defining the network address to be allowed accessing the Samba Server.
2. Defining the WORKGROUP name.
Simply, use the same network address with unique host address in order to estabilsh the connection.
for ex :192.168.24.X, u can use this network address and define the -X as host ip.
So, by this u got to make the sama workgroup among your server and your client ( Windows 98 )
Please make sure that the user who wants to use the samba server are listed in your server.
Instantly, there is a simple registry modification in Windows family, here I'll tell you in case of WINDOWS 98.
After finishing the ethernet card, there must be a logon box to be diplayed before you use your windows 98.
Here, at the folder defined bellow, create EnablePlainTextPassword and fill 1 as the value.
Details :
Regedit My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP\EnablePlainTextPassword (DWORD value =1)
Restart your windows, then in logon box, enter your Linux|Unix users with its password.
U will get your defined shared folder which Linux|Unix define it to shared,
Have a nice day.....
For more detail, please feel free to ask me about....
I'll just tell u somethin' that I know......
bye there and have a nice day........
