Ok, need help guys. We're trying to configure here a network setup for
samba.
Say this is setup in 2 rooms.

You have 3 machines, one that has a modem, and controls the connection,
2 workstations, on an external network (internet visible IP's), with a
network cable going to a 4th machine
God thats one weird network set up.
Can I ask why the world visable IPs? I mean - do you host web pages or
something? If so then those boxes should be either outside the firewall
and not used as workstations, or put them inside the firewall and use port
forwarding on the firewall to permit e
Couple of reasons for the world visables. Firstly, I got the ip's with
my connection. may as well use them. Secondly it's fun to try and tie
the router box, the one controlling the connection down tight enough
that they can't get to the external ip boxes. And if you spend a bit of
time on irc, or q

I think this is a fantastic idea! I volunteer whatever I can to help out
this cause. I think we should get a mailing list for this set up and
start building it as soon as possible.

People's,
Spanky new ultra sparc 5 sitting next to me, and
trying to install debian on it, it wont let me create boot disk during the
installation process, when it asks to enter a floppy to create, i do which
results in the immediate message of
"your disk is either write protected or no

To my knowledge booting of a floppy is not supported in the 'Ultra' series
of Sparc computers. So, probably you have to bypass that option.

5 tries to boot from memory it gets the error
Cant boot from disk1:a
File found is not an executable
or something similar to that, does that help at all ?

I have a m/b with a sis 5?97/98 video card and I suspect that sis make

Ok, Rogers' dhcp servers suck, and I'm tired of it. I just manually set up
my ip and routing table with ifconfig and route. So, if I want this done on
every boot instead of dhcp, where is the appropriate place to put the commands

Bill,
Count me in on this. I'm another one of those people who's been at it for a
while, but still feel very newbie-ish about (too) Many things. I'd love to
put some time into helping the people who work so hard putting the system
together. Whatever I can contribute to, I'll do...
