Question:
1. I have found something odd with my home network. Windows 98 in system 2 and 3 can access the internet. But Redhat linux 9 in system 2 can't. How can i fix Redhat linux 9 in system 2, so it can access the internet?
I don't think suffix working yet since i haven't configure DNS server in system 1.
2. How to share printer in system 1 through samba? I don't know the path to spool. I've tried this:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -h mofiddpc -p StylusC41SX -u allow:all
lpadmin: add-printer failed: server-error-service-unavailable
i've been working with my network for 1 month, and i've been exhausted. So this is my last attempt to fix the remaining problem with my linux.
Sounds like a simular problem that I was having about a month ago ,
I was however able to access the web with linux sometimes , I think it eventully turned out
to be a server problem with my Internet provider , however when my provider gave me a static
Ip address I had to do something else I could have bought a router and gone from my dsl conection to my router and then to my hub where all my local network connections are.
I choose however to download a proxie server from the web (ccproxie) it was free to use for a small network i installed it on my windows pc that I wanted for my server and with alittle tinkering here and there I figured out how to configure my network proxie . I then went to my other PC's and set all my browsers to use a proxie server , Linux and windows work just fine with this windows proxie , I am
currently using windows ME and Fedora & SuSE with this server. Instant messengers work just fine
along with mozilla & netscape I do miss my news ticker (there was no proxie configuration built into it) I am sure I could have done this using Linux as my proxie server I certainly would have preferred
that but being a newbie I am still working on it , but this was a quick solution and seemed to solve some of my internet problems . I now can access the web with about anything I throw at it including
Morphix and some other simular operating systems I also tried win98 and it had no problem either.
I hope this helps
good luck ,

in windows i noticed that the host name would be ronapc.link.net.id but why in linux both server and system 2 it's localhost.link.net.id? when i tried forcing it by writing ronapc.link.net.id in redhat-network-config hostname, there's a message like "fail to get domain link.net.id". Could be a hint?
I've discovered a new tool in redhat called SWAT. when i try around, i think i accidentally become the domain controler of link.net.id. there's a bunch of people names in samba log that aren't mine.
common guys, i see a lot of same problem in the other postings. how can windows client connect to the internet while linux client can't? i even using the same distro for client with the ip masq connection server.
