Hi,
Since this is the conclusion of a week' s worth of work, I am posting the results. I had to reload new firmware to a Packard Bell AudioKey FM player because I had stupidly reformatted the vfat fs on it. Problem: qemu' s USB service stinks, but it' s samba use is very good. Could not use it with the AudioKey inserted: system would hang. But it' s use of samba works out of the box. So: downloaded the free VMware server and installed that. Its USB service is excellent (but not for USB streaming devices) so I solved the firmware problem. (But it only works if you insert the key while the firmware is looking for it) But then I noticed that samba did not work on vmware XP but did on qemu XP. Other weirdness: I had to redo firehol (use /etc/init.d/firehol helpme) for vmware but not for qemu! So I went googling with 'samba debugging' and came across: http://www.faqs.org/docs/samba/ch12.html#samba2-CHP-12-SECT-2.5.4 which said to use the ' net use * \\server\share' command on the guest.and bingo! that got: Drive Z: is now connected to \\www.xxx.yy.z\hugo. The command completed successfully. And I was in business... Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
