Hello list, Sorry to ask what should be a simple question. I simply have not yet found an answer, or a resource to solve this myself. (have looked thru RH docs, some samba docs, lists from both) It seems this should be easy from the docs I've read (do X + Y, and restart). I think what I need is a 'troubleshooting guide'. ... with 'F' problems, look 'here' kind-of-thing. note I'm not a programmer - more of an experienced w2k user trying to learn
So here's where I am: - new build of RedHat 8 with rhn updates, including samba - eth0 set to dhcp client with local domain hostname - iptables set to not start at boot - samba set to start at boot (RunLevel 3 & 5); smb.conf has: -- w2k workgroup name; hostname shows in w2k Network browse list -- some basic [global] permission settings -- some basic share setups, browseable from w2k workstation - I have a 2nd system with debian and a fully operational samba.
- when I try to browse the LAN via the RH box by Konqueror, LAN browser: -- I get an error "could not connect to host localhost" -- this does not happen with the debian system. ___________________________________________________________ Any thoughts for where to check would be very-much appreciated. ___________________________________________________________
aside: The RH host-name shows up in my w2k WINS server, ... but the RH host-name does not show in my w2k dns server. The debian host-name shows in both WINS and dns servers under w2k.
Is there some way to get RH 8 to automatically update its hostname and IP into a w2k dns server? I found a reference in the debian system to 'send host-name "name";' within file dhclient.conf. Is this what's making that work? Where might I insert such for a static IP workstation? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JAMES E. FERRIS, B.Sc.
