General Support - Samba & net connection boot probs LRC - 21.08.2006, 16:57 Uhr Titel: Samba & net connection boot probs
I have finally got winxp box and Linux box seeing and working with each other, but I have a glich. Now, every time I boot the L box, I have to reconfigure the network IP address via kcontrol from 169.254.124.0 to 192.168.7.0 and restart samba. That must mean samba is not loading properly and and something is reconfuring my IP address. I no longer have avahi-daemon or resolvconfig which were mucking up things before, but something else is going to town now.
This all started when I found how to configure smb.conf so that the M$ box could see the L box. That part works fine now (except for the fact I have to figure out how to access files I have move from my L box to my M$ box). It will take me a few hours to work on any solutions because I am away from my box all day today.

cat /etc/network/interfaces
(samba doesn't mess with ip setting, but has to take them in consideration)

It is not a pronlem with samba or linux at all, it is a problem how M$ handles the dhcp for private addresses. Specialy when no router is available.

192.168.7.0? Is this the IP address of your machine or the low end of a range of IP addresses?
What if you configure your Kanotix box to be the router, give it a static IP address (192.168.7.1) and start dnsmasq + masquerade?

Zitat:
cat /etc/network/interfaces
iface eth0 inet static
network 192.168.7.0
broadcast 192.255.155.255
address 192.168.7.151
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.7.1
Accually I should learn that obscurity begets obscurity. I am behind a router, and the 2 boxs are connected via a hub. Both boxes are intended to have static IPs. The M$ keeps its IP no prob. The L box is the one having a prob keeping its static IP. Everytime the last two days (the only change other then upgrade that I have done is made changes to smb.conf to get the two boxes comunicating, and I just remembered, ran lisa deamon setup wizard for local network browsing) te IP has gone to 169.254.124.0 and inorder to get the 2 boxes to comunicate I have to restart samba. I presume that that means smb.conf isn't booting properly at bootup and also there is another apt that I have that is insisting that my IP should be 169.254.124.0. It only takes a couple of minutes to get everything inorder, but the bummer is that it is happening at all.

Samba may not be 'turned on" at boot up
in console as root
unfreeze-rc.d
rcconf
a blue box comes up, arrow down to samba and use the space bar to put in an "*" (asterisk)
tab to OK
hit enter
freeze-rc.d
Samba should now commence on boot-up

Thank You bluewater. Got samba toggled, found lisa on the list, got that toggled, rebooted and man, no more IP probs checked out the M$ box, and for the first time could immediately open up into the folder in the L box that I wanted and could import and export and edit those files, which I have never been able to do. Also I found a couple of other apts that I wanted to check out that I have never been able to look at before. There is no way I will ever return to M$. For the things you have to give up, I tell you the help forums more then make up for it.

OOPS. Just checked the L box (M$ box is working fine). I had made some changes in smb.conf that I haad found in onther forum,but now the L box can still ping the M$, but whereas before I got samba and lisa working at boot I could get into the M$ box from the L box, now I cannot get into the M$. Is there something I might have done wrong in smb.conf that would have caused this prob? Noticed there are 2. I had modified /usr/share/samba/smb.conf

Figured out that it is am IP prob and not samba. Once I can get the Ips fixed after bootup (another posting) samjba is working great. Thanx for your input anyway.
