How do I go about having XP client machines authenticate into their Fedora 11 accounts upon starting up windows? For example, I would like the Windows logon window show their accounts on the F11 server so they can log in and have their server stored home directories used via the network on the XP client machine they are using
View 3 RepliesI am trying to access folders on my main computer running F14 from my laptop, also running F14. I have had no luck, in the past I've networked windows 7 and Fedora and it was easier than this
I have tried setting up Samba and everything looks fine, except I can't access the folders from my laptop. I'm sure this has been discussed on the forum and believe me I've searched, here, various search engines, the official Fedora guide, and still no luck.
how to share folders between two computers?
Networking on Fedora 11 doesn't work for me on various machines. Fedora 10 does, but only if you don't do an update.Why does Fedora get worse the more you keep it up-to-date?

I get messages like "special device - does not exist" Should I be doing fstab entries from the start or what should I do?. One machine is F11 the other f10 if that makes a difference. I can link one linux to windows on the other machine.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhat could block access from Fedora to just one Windows XP system without blocking access to or from other Windows systems on the network? I have a working Windows network with six computers and one network-attached-storage. Two of the computers (MARTIN and NANCY) are Windows XP, the rest are older. I set up a Fedora laptop with Samba. The Fedora system can access the Internet (I'm using it to post this message). It can see all the Windows systems, and it can open all of them except MARTIN. The firewall on MARTIN is turned off.
I go to Places, Network, and I see nine icons: the Fedora system, seven Windows systems and one for Windows Network. If I double-click on the MARTIN icon I get a message window that says "Unable to mount location" and "Failed to retrieve share list from server". If I double-click on any of the other Windows icons, including NANCY, a new window opens showing the shares on that system. Similar results with smbclient. It shows the shares for all systems except MARTIN. For MARTIN it says "Connection to MARTIN failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)."
The other Windows computers on the network can open the shares on MARTIN with no problem. The network is partly wired and partly wireless. The wireless network is secured with WEP. The Fedora laptop is (as you might expect) wireless. The Fedora laptop is an emachines E520 and both Windows XP machines are custom-built tower systems. I don't think that information is relevant but I mention it anyway. What should I look for?
I have a machine running fedora 10 that has a printer in cups that i want to share to the windows machines on the network.I cant find any mention of shareing printers in the cups interface

The names corresponding to the IPs are stored on a host which can act as a domain name server. The host can have a name of something like test1.test1.org. I am actually working on Globus toolkit where I will be providing grid services to clients. For that I needed a static IP registered with a domain name service. But since I required it only for local network so I thought to create a Local network myself.

I have virtual machines that I do not want to have access to the host, I thought 'isolated network' did this but the VM's can ping the host. If (probably) I am wrong, how can I create an network that can not see anything else but what is also on the same network? The host and the isolated network are 192. and 172. The virtual bridge is not connected (or so it says) to any physical device.
View 2 Replies View Relatedin my network, users has total access to their PCs, so theres a problem to filter (URL, ports,etc.) their virtual machines installed (they can assign self any IP, e.g.)
Id thought about use the MAC prefix in VMware VMs (00:0c:29:*), but i can only found a way through DHCP, and this isn't a good solution (they can assign a static IP to workaround...)
It will be better using firewall (iptables), but I don't found the way to add rules based in MACs with wildcards.
I've got a problem with 'seeing' other machines on my Network. I have two laptops both with F10 on them however I can't ping either of them. They can connect fine to the internet and ping the router, they are both on the same subnet with Firewalls disabled on both machines. When I try to ping it says: "Destination Host Unreachable". I've tried firing up Wireshark to see if that will give me any clue but even that doesn't show any packets whatsoever from the other machine across the Network. It's like they are completely invisible to each other.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been learning linux for a while now with half an eye on making a career out of it in future. One sizeable gap in my knowledge at the moment is networking. Is it feasible/desirable to set up a network of virtual machines to use as an environment to learn networking? My budget is non-existent so I was hoping to be able to get a basic understanding of the principles from installing a few desktops, a virtual gateway etc on VMware workstation on my laptop, and doing a lot of reading online.
Is this feasible, or will I just end up learning about virtual networks instead of real ones? Also how much power would be required, because my 3GB RAM lappy has just gone bang and all I have now is a (new) 1GB RAM lappy.
Ive managed to install samba, I've shared a folder. I can access from a Windows 7 machine via \ubuntupublic. I can put files in the folder form the ubuntu machine and edit them on the windows box. I can put files in the folder/share from the Windows box but then I cannot edit them on the Ubuntu machine (they are read only and have a "Lock" over them). I can fix this by going to the properties of the file/folder in Windows and manually assigning "Everybody" full control (then the lock disappears and all is well.) I want read/write access to all the folders contents from both machines all the time (security is NOT a concern I WANT the permissions wide open) what am I doing wrong?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI wanted to be able to have separate NICs with separate IPs connecting to separate gateways on a machine so I could put an ftpd on each one. I tried binding an ftpd to each, and running separate instances of the ftpd. I tried virtual hosts.
NOTHING worked. I could either use one ftpd or the other. I could either connect via ssh on one IP or the other. the second I turned one NIC off stuff would work again. I messed with basic iproute commands, andnothng worked until I got this script to run, which allowed me to use each NIC independant of the other.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#ip route flush all
ip route del default dev eth1
ip route del default dev eth0
ip route del table 1
ip route add table 1 to default via 10.10.10.1 dev eth1
code....
But now, samba client doesn't work. cifs mounting doesn't work either. It can't connect.
BEFORE I ran that script, I could connect via ssh, or to the ftpd running on the machine using a LOCAL IP - 10.10.10.2. AFTER, I have to use the external IP, or I cannot connect. I know that has something to do with it, but I do not have the advanced linux routing knowledge to redo the script or come up with a solution.
I manage a cluster running RHEL 4. Recently, the head node lost contact with some (but not all) of the other nodes on the LAN. This is very bad because almost all of our data is on an NFS server, so our users can't work until I fix this. The problem apparently started this morning (Jan 19), although there's at least one machine on the LAN that I had lost contact with before then.Here is all the information I think might be useful.From /var/log/messages:
Code:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI may be missing something very easy here, but I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit (I have also tried 10.04 32 bit) and I cannot connect to my windows machines. I can't connect by going to the network window, or by connect to server via ip. Basically, I can see the windows machines but then I double click it, and it asks for the credentials. I'm the admin of all of the machines, and I only have one login to my windows machine, which is my name First Last. I am entering this, and my password (which I'm sure is correct) and click "Connect". It thinks for maybe a half second, then presents me a blank credentials box, wanting me to start over.
I can connect to my Macbook without any troubles.
I'm using an Acer AspireRevo 1600, wired connection.
first, here is our setup:
Linksys Router with firewall
1 Linux Server -- Running Dapper
Multiple Linux ThinClients running off the linux server
Multiple Freestanding Linux Machines -- Running ubuntu variants
Multiple Freestanding Windows Machines -- Running windows variants
The issue is that certain websites will not load on the freestanding linux machines, but they will load on our linux server and all the windows machines. examples: [URL].. These sites will start to load, but they never really finish and just seem to time out. I have tried changing the dns on the freestanding linux laptops to use 208.67.220.220 and this does not solve the problem.
I have checked the firewall rules and they seem pretty standard.when the linux machines are used on other networks, these websites work, so the problem seems to be related to this particular network.
When I do (freestanding linux):
Code:
traceroute acer.com -I
The trace times out at 30 hops
When I do (linux server):
Code:
traceroute acer.com -I
The trace reaches the destination at 19 hops
Both of the traceroute requests start by going through the router. So the big issue is that websites will load on our linux server and all our windows machines, but not on freestanding linux clients.
Me and my friend have been talking about networking our two machines over the internet. So he has done his side. Now i need to do my side... Any ideas on how i would go about configuring my computer to do this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to share home directories from two different machines so that I can log on to both using the same account.
One idea was to host the home directory on a server and mount it to a local directory. I don't think this will work though, because I'm pretty sure the directory wont be mounted until the logon session starts and I'm guessing it wont without the appropriate home directory.
So the question becomes, what tells the OS where the home directory is in the first place. Yes it's in a default place but that path as to be stored in some config file somewhere right?
But another problem is... If the server goes down, I'll have to make sure I can log on via root at the logon screen/get into a terminal/use LiveCD to get access.
It wouldn't be too much of a problem to create an account on each machine, all my media will be on the server anyway. But if I create an account on one, it would be nice if it was automatically added to the other. And it would be great for keeping settings if I want to do a compete wipe if I'm upgrading the file-system or something. I suppose I could just do a backup like everyone else..
