[opensuse] Networking questins
OK folks, Let me preface this with I am a newbi in the Linux world, and I need help. Firs post and first question. I have three boxes on a LAN, 2 desktops and one laptop. Main desktop is a WinXP SP2 box with SLED 10 running on VM Ware connected to the Internet through a Linksys wireless adapter communicating with a wireless router. The second box is networked to the first and is running Open Suse 10.1 (remastered). The same with the Laptop. I have SMB shares on the second box and can access the share from the Winxp box. When I try to look at the local network from the Linux box, I get a message that I don't have the *Lisa deamon* installed and can not access the network. I have tried to find information on the Lisa deamon, but have failed. What is it? and how do I install it? TIA Regards, Bill.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Hi William,
I believe you have to set up the linux machine as a samba client so
and probably install any necessary packages to do that. The best way
in SuSE is to try doing it through YaST as this way you will be
prompted for the install cds and all will be done auto magically.
I am not a samba user myself as I find ssh sufficient for my file
transfer needs and ther are windows clients as well.

Use rpm -qa | grep lisa and check that the kdenetwork3-lisa package is installed. If it is then (as root) use rclisa start to start the daemon and insserv lisa to have it start everytime you boot the PC. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Now all I have to do is figure out how to access the Win shared folders on Box #1 from box #2 and the laptop. <Smile> I can access the SAMBA shared folders on box #2 from box #1 (figured that one out using the SAMBA server).

Networking between Windows machines and Linux has been a hassle for me forever. I will be honest: I don't even know how to network between two Windows machines, or for that matter, between two Linux machines. I would love to network my 9.3 Linux machine to my XP machine. It would simplify my life. Then maybe I could go thru the XP machine to my printer, or transfer files from one machine to the other, or send sound from the Linux machine thru the XP machine to the stereo system, and all sorts of things that would help. If someone would write a small booklet telling me how to do this-- not only on the Linux side, but on the XP side--and sell it on the net for $5.00 or so, I would buy it instantly. It would have to be written in plain English that anyone off the street could understand. I've only been using computers for about 40 years, but I really have trouble with a lot of the terminology. (I have been using computers to _compute_, not to configure. And, lately of course, to use the lists and email, and word-process.) Ferinstance: apparently you need something called Samba to network. I don't know what this program is or does, etc. etc. etc. Well, I suppose that nobody will. Everybody seems to understand this stuff but me. Ah, well. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Doug, If everybody would understand that stuff than this http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ wouldn't be written. I guess. This was for me enough to setup mixed network.

There are plenty of books and other sources about basic networking info. I suggest you start there, One hint though, if you can't see your own share, another computer can't either. So, if in Windows, check Network Neighborhood to see if you can access what you're sharing. On the Linux side, you can use smb:/ in Konqueror to see the shares etc. Also, you'll want to read up on Samba, which is the software Linux uses, to network with Windows boxes. If there are no Windows systems on the network you can use NFS. Also, the most basic test is to use ping. If you can't ping a computer, you can't network with it (assuming ping isn't blocked). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
