Hi all... I'm trying to setup samba between Linux and a DrDos 7.03 machine. The Dos machine does not have W$ on it at all. It has the A and C drives. I would like to have it see my Linux machine as the D drive. It looks simple on the Linux side, but how can I (or can I?) do this on the Dos side. I've looked at the manuals in SuSE 7.2 and it's mainly for M$ windows. TIA! -- Jim Hatridge ------------------------------------------------------ BayerWulf The Recycled Beowulf Project Looking for throw-away or obsolete computers and parts to recycle into a Linux super computer
It should be possible. You would need to setup a dos network client (ODI model) for your network interface that supports IP and then have the appropriate network utilities to do the appropriate "net use" for the shares and printing. NT & OS/2 Lan originally supported DOS clients although they used Netbui as the protocol. Interesting project and as they say in the land of SuSE, have lots of fun. Being one who "grew up" in DOS networking (Lantastic, Lan Manager, etc.et.all) I would like to know if you are succesful. Good luck. Clint Jim Hatridge wrote:

There are 3 posbilities to conennect DROS to Linux: 1. Using nwclient and marsnwe. This using the ipx-protocol. Its easy to configure and the way i do. 2. Using M$-DOS IP-STACK (WIN3.1). There is no need to install M$-Win 3.1 on the DOS-Client, but it takes a lot of memory under 640kb, so you can get problems with your Programms. There is a NETBIOS-client within. I tried it, but got trouble with mem on DOS-client. 3. Using DR-DOS IP-STACK. It's not free, but very small use of mem under 640kb. Then you need a nfs-client which is not included. (only ftp is included). That's the way i'm working on. May be there is the posibillty to merge number 2 and 3 (using DR_DOS IPSTACK and M$DOS-NETBIOSclient), but i did't try it. cu Gerald
