The mandrake box and all other machines are behind a hardware firewall and attached to the same switch - I just get a 'request timed out' error. It does sound as if stefanwagner has hit the nail on the head, therefore my questions would now be: 1. How do I find out what the setting is...

Hi, I have a strange problem. I've just done a plain installation of Mandrake 10, requesting Samba and Apache. The install proceeded ok with no errors. On restarting I have set given the box a static ip address of 10.10.0.80. There is nothing in /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow has...

If the primary hard disk is SCSI and the controller is not being seen correctly, it may be worth your while adding an IDE drive just to get you up and running. Then get the required modules / drivers for the SCSI board and add the SCSI drives later on as addiitional partitions. HTH Pete...

It may be that the Samba is getting it's wires crossed between user and share security. Have a look at this: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/ms_samba.html Although it's from the SuSE site and the english translation appears a bit dodgy, it may give you a clue Another question for you - If the...

What happens the situation is replicated at work ? Do other users complain of similar errors ? Is the boss trying to download large (>2Mb) files over RAS ? There are so many reasons that this could occur, try and replicate the error in a known environment (workshop/lab) and then we can look at...
