Re: RedHat on network

[Kirk Wood]

Without more detail, there we can't give much detail. But I would start
with checking TCP/IP connectivity. 

Can you ping another workstation on the same subnet (use the ip address)? 

Can you ping your own workstation?

If both of the above work, try pinging by name.

There are probably four settings all of which have to be correct to
operate in a typical NT environment. The IP address, the subnet mask, the
WINS servers, and the DNS servers.

If you can ping other stations fine, but not access files, the next place
to look is the SAMBA client. But start with the most basic first. If you
can't ping, you are not connected correctly.

Hi,
You certainly need to use the SAMBA server in order to achieve the
connectivity between Redhat and WIndows NT machines. To check your
connection, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your cables are OK (yes, this hapens sometimes);
2. Ping your own machine to make sure your TCP/IP softwae is working
correctly.
3. makes sure that your Linux and NT machines are on the same subnet. If
they are not, then you need to set a network route from your Linux subnet to
the NT subnet. If resolved, try
4. Ping your gateway for the NT subnet. Make sure you can also reach your
machine from NT station. Remember that sometimes packets can go one way, but
the gateway might not know which way to get them back;
5. Eventually, set up SAMBA server ( which is a bit of a task! ) and then
use nmblookup utility to see any machine on your NT subnet, like

nmblookup -A <IP address of an NT workstation>

Of course, all of these steps might change based on what type of results you
get (negative or positive). As you can see, your initial description wasn't
descriptive enough to give you a more precise help!
Regards,
Vic

How do I Migrate from windows to Linux?		I'm using Windows now but I
really want to move to a blind accessible version of Linux. I've downloaded
Knoppix_speakup and oralux but can not get knoppix to talk and do not want
to learn the complicated commands of oralux. How can I get knoppix to talk
and what version of ubuntu or debian will talk right from the start? I'd
really like to move to Linux but I've had no luck so far. I'd really
appreciate feedback.

Re:

That's a really difficult question to answer to be fair LOL.

I went from windows to using FC4 via SSH, then i got software speech working 
on FC4, now I use primarily Ubuntu, and FC6 when I can get it working. But 
Ubuntu is by fair the easiest.

If you need help with anything privately, although I'm not the best person 
to ask, I'm more than happy to help you out as much as I can (over MSN if 
it's easier).

Cheers, and HTH a bit,

Hi Tony.  To a certain extent, you are right.  But while being able to
read and write properly, and have good gramar is important, I would
argue that the misperceptions, and misunderstandings about blindness
are the larger problem.  

Most sighted folks just don't have a clue about what is possible for a
blind person, and because they can't conceive of how a blind person
functions through out his daily life, they aren't willing to give a
blind person a chance.  Saddly, I've experienced enough of this kind of
behavior to know that what I say is true.  

A successful blind person always has to try a bit harder, and make a
better impression than his sighted counterparts.  I'm not crying in my
beer, just expressing the facts.  Blind folks who allow themselves to
feel sorry for themselves, just won't cut it, and there are a lot of
them out there.  Saddly, like thesong says, "That's just the way it is."

Re:

I agree.  John on this list has his own story of how he got hired by the 
math department of the University of Wisconsin.  However, it makes a lot 
better case if the blind person can read and write.  Let's take an average 
sighted person.  I suppose there are exceptions nowadays, but I can't 
imagine an employer hiring that average sighted person if they don't have 
literacy.  For one thing, how would they fill out the job application?  The 
blind person's solution would either be a sighted reader or a scanner, but I 
would guess that most employers would find it rather strange if a sighted 
person brought their reader with them and explained that they can't read 
print.  I do agree with you completely that the blind person needs to try 
harder and has more to overcome, but I still think that literacy has a lot 
to do with it, regardless of being blind.  Nowadays, most jobs require at 
least a college degree and I don't see how a sighted person would get one if 
they can't read.  Granted, reading Braille isn't the same as reading print, 
but at least the blind person can show the ability to take notes, phone 
messages, etc.  In the computer industry, I've heard that it's a lot easier 
to do programming with a Braille display, but I don't have one and I'm not a 
programmer.

Re:

[John G. Heim]

Oh, yeah, I believe you are talking about the time I went to a job 
interview and I already had like 20 years of experience in systems 
administration and programming. All this was on my resume, of course, 
but when the woman who was going to interview me saw that I am blind, 
she flatly refused to interview me at first. She wouldn't believe a 
blind person can use a computer. I had to convince her that the stuff on 
my resume was real. She went ahead with the interview but she clearly 
didn't believe a word I was saying. I sure wish I had had the presence 
of mind to let her send me away. Then I could have sued her dumb a**.

I don't think there should be any question that prejudice  is a far 
bigger factor than anything blind people bring upon themselves. I mean, 
I look back at my co-workers over the years and there is no way they are 
any better than many of the unemployed blind technologists I know.

Here's the deal... Blind people never get to skate by. Blind people 
never have things just handed to them. Blind people can't just show up 
for work every day, put in their 8 hours, go home, and expect to keep 
doing that for 20 or 30 years. You have to fight for every new 
assignment, every promotion, every raise you get.

You might be thinking, "Well, everyone has to do that." Yeah, sort of. 
But the difference in degree is so great that it's astonishing. Keep 
your eyes open and you will see. The vast majority of people skate by. 
They just pretty much show up for work every day. The economy takes a 
downturn and they get layed off. But eventually, they find another job. 
A blind person has to fight for everything he gets. I am well aware that 
a lot of blind people just need a good kick in the butt. But if that was 
all it took to be unemployed, the whole world's unemployment rate would 
be around 80%.

I'm not whining. None of this really applies to me. I've never been 
unemployed for a single day since I got my first job after college. I 
started each new job literally the day after I left my previous job. In 
fact, I feel  extremely lucky that I happen to be so good at making 
computers work. I didn't do anything to deserve that. I have worked very 
hard and I've been smart managing my career. But what if I wasn't good 
at computers? Where would I be? I don't know. But I do know a lot of 
sighted people who aren't particularly well motivated, not particularly 
good with computers, and who have never had a problem finding a job. I 
don't know any blind people like that. If you're blind, you have to be 
very good and very motivated or you are probably going to be unemployed.

Note that I said *probably*. I know some blind people skate by. But like 
I said, its a matter of degree and that difference is huge.

Re:

[Tony Baechler]

Actually, I was talking about how you brought your own laptop with you with 
a server already running on it so you could prove that you knew what you 
were doing.  I don't remember the exact details, but you posted on a list 
(acb-l?) a while ago about how you got hired once they could access the 
server running on your laptop and could see that you were able to set up 
servers and knew how to make computers work.
