Hi Satoru
I have tried your direction yesterday but i'm still confusing when filling 'domain name' or 'domain search' box. because we donn't use domain. for testing i fill those value with 'workgroup'
Untill now, when i try to search those hostname ('linux' or 'linux.workgroup') from Windows PC, it can't be found. But when i try to ping the IP address from Windows, the Linux was able to reply the ping command
What the synonim for 'ipconfig' in OpenSuse?
Hi Kai, actually i just want to include OpenSuse in our existing workgroup and install MySQL database server on it. The other PC (Win XP) will run the application which i still developed using VB6 to access MySQL and store the data on it.
Thanks

if i success in connecting OpenSuse and myWinXP, i plan to attached MySQL database server on MyOpenSuse. I plan to use OpenSuse as my small server. Currently i'm still developing small client application using VB and MySQL to handle inventory system. Yudi:
By "using VB and MySQL" are you developing in VB6 or VB.net?
Are you just going to use openSUSE for the database?If so, is the client going to connect over MySQL?
Just curious.
(For those who are interested, I'm actually gathering requirements for an update to a VB6 system that we still maintain here.)

Yudi, To make the openSuSE function as a true workgroup member with the XP machines and share disk space with the XP boxes, you need to start samba. openSuSE splits the nmbd and smbd daemons so to start samba, you need to run rcnmb and rcsmb. For your /etc/samba/smb.conf, use something similar to: [global] use sendfile = No workgroup = rb_law server string = Samba %v printcap name = cups load printers = yes printing = cups show add printer wizard = no disable spoolss = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 100 time server = yes admin users = thomas smb ports = 139 hosts allow = 192.168.7. 192.168.6. 192.168.8. 192.168.5. 127. domain logons = yes map to guest = bad user security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = yes os level = 69 domain master = yes preferred master = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast wins support = yes dns proxy = no usershare allow guests = No [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [samba] comment = SambaShares - Pictures, Law path = /home/samba valid users = @shoreline, anna force group = shoreline admin users = thomas browseable = Yes writeable = Yes inherit permissions = yes Don't forget to add the samba users using the SAME username/password combinations that you use to log into the XP boxes. You add samba users with "smbpasswd -a username". The additional benefit is that samba will function as the netbios nameserver and keep the browselist for your local network that will solve the netbios name resolution problem you are having. See www.samba.org for documentation. Specifically see the Using Samba online book that will walk you through setup and configuration. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
