Re: RedHat on network

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!

Vic

Thank you kirk.
I successfully pinged my workstation and the others
using their IP addresses but i couldn't ping them by
name. Truth is i donot know how to use or install the
SAMBA client.
Thank you.

Re: RedHat on network

[Geoff Shang]

Hi:

Firstly, you need to know where to get DNS information for your local
network.  You won't be able to use machine names for the machines on your
network until your machine knows where to find this information.

I am going to assume that you aren't running your own DNS server (even a
caching one), mainly because I don't remember how caching ones are set
up.  Edit /etc/resolv.conf.  You probably have a DNS server or 2 in there
already.  Find out from your network admin where your local DNS server is
located and add it in.

Geoff.
