Samba, Swat and Network Connectedness 2004-12-16 - By Wayne Watson
Back
Well, I got over my minor hurdle with webmin. I just had to do some twisted
thinking
to set values. It's a bit unusual. Once you fill in the appropriate window,
there's a
button that updates all the windows.
So now I'm trying to communicate over the local network, and am temporarily
baffled.
My firewall on XP pro is now the SP2 MS firewall. McAfee is gone. I probably
have
some switch set in the MS firewall that is preventing My Network Places from
seeing
anything including my XP machine.
In looking at the online book at <http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/> for
setting up
Samba (see chapter 10 and 11) it appears the methodology is a bit different
that the
RHL9 customization guide (chap 17). The cust guide mentions some tools that
apparently I did not install initally, but barely references XP Pro unlike the
online
book. My impression is that the RH cust book is out of date. Then there's the
almost
single page webmin for doing this at <http://www.webmin.com/samba-howto.html>.
Three
choices. Off I go ...
