All,

I installed Linux 7.1 on x86, Now I need to configure other machines (I have other PCs with Windows 98/2000/xp) to talk with Linux which I installed on x86.

Can anyone tell me the steps to configure.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Thanks,
RM
 
You need to install Samba. You can download it here --> Samba is used to make a Linux server mimic a Windows file server. The Samba server looks like a Windows server to the Windows clients and can be browsed in Network Neighborhood.

You can find documentation at their main site, or you can find plenty of howtos if you do a google search for it. Here's a Samba guide that will get you started...

Hi chris,

Thanks for your input.

I am unable to access web from my linux. Can you please let me know the information on the configuration of the network card.

I received the following error couple of times this morning.

YPBINDPROC-Domain :Domain not bound.

Thanks in advance for your kind reply.

Your accessing the web right now...


What were you doing when you got that error message? Looks like an NIS error...

Yeah, it is related to the network. (NIS).

Let me explain what I want to do with Linux installation.

After sucessful installation of Linux 7.1, I would like to install Oracle 9 Rel 1.

I want to make this Linux as Oracle Database Server and want to connect from the pcs as oracle clients.

I am sure that, network card should install properly so that the oracle clients will access Database server.

Can you please help me how you want me to proceed. Still I am getting the NIS error.

Thanks,
RM
