Re: Fedora Core 3
Are you running a DNS server? If you mean you're trying to be able to get to the machine with a "\\<computername>" syntax, you need WINS. Samba would be your choice.wb4bsd wrote:Okay, so how do i get my linux box on my network.

Personally, I ditched WINS. I run an internal-only BIND box and use that for all of my name-serving. Works much better. Still using Win2k3 for the Active Directory forest.
no DNS server. but i should be able to see the linux machine in my network places and be able to pull files over shouldnt i?
is there a good book that explains the textual part of fedora 3? i looked tonight and everything talked about the GUI parts of fedora. And as we all know, IRLP doesnt use the gui and from what i hear, the gui cause conflicts and stuff...
speaking of this, anyone have a sound card that will work that they wouldnt mind sending my way????

Sound cards where an issue years ago but I think most any sound card is supported now with Dave's latest codec, I myself use a Vibra 16 but I think most chipsets are supported.

You could get to it by IP... otherwise, with no DNS server, how's it going to know to make things appear in Network Neighborhood? That's done by running a WINS client, which is installed natively with Windows (one more open port...) but not by Linux. You'll need to configure Samba.wb4bsd wrote:no DNS server. but i should be able to see the linux machine in my network places and be able to pull files over shouldnt i?
Yes the sound card issues are mostly a thing of the past but a few have be known to cause minor issues, like anything else in amateur radio trial error will your best friend. If you plan on using any CW ID scripts then you will need to use an old ISA card like my Vibra 16 for the synth feature. I use WinSCP also for transfering files and puTTy for day to day configuration via command prompt.

Linux, by itself, won't be compatible with windows in the way you seem to be wanting it to be. That said, software like SAMBA or the SCP program that were mentioned here are 2 ways to deal with this.wb4bsd wrote:no DNS server. but i should be able to see the linux machine in my network places and be able to pull files over shouldnt i?
Using an SCP program is like using an FTP program that will let you copy files up and down from the box.
Using SAMBA will make your linux box look like a Windows server on the network. You probably want to setup SAMBA with the WINS component enabled and then make sure you config your windows box to use the Linux box as your wins server. Once done, you'll be able to map drive letters on your Windows box to your linux server's hard drive.
Good Luck!
okay, the file transfer issue is good to go now that i have WinSCP.
is anyone using the sound blaster live 24 from walmart? its like 25$ and looks very simple. just curious if that will work. I hate to buy something off ebay that may be DOA when it gets here..

Quick suggestion...
Grab yourself a copy of webmin (http://www.webmin.com - you might be able to yum install webmin at a command prompt but I can't remember off hand). Webmin will let you manage the entire box via a web browser. Makes it easier than having to edit text files.
Also, if you haven't already, run yum update a few times and answer Y when it asks you if it can download. Do that until you stop getting updates, which will be two or three times. I built a FC3 box today and I think I had to run it twice.
Samba is VERY easy to set up. Just use user based security and mark your shares as public and readonly = no. Webmin will help you get things set up correctly.
Good luck!
