Linpopup problem

jamespetts · 09-05-2002, 12:23 PM

After having installed LinPopup (from the RPMs), and made the necessary modification to smb.conf, I still cannot recieve messages which are sent to it. I have no difficulty in sending messages. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Unfortunantly i have not been able to come up with a solution as yet, but be reassured that you are not alone...

I have problems with it too. I can't even send messages trough linpopup. i can do it with
smbclient -M host
but nothing with linpopup. I made the configurations in smb.conf, the program sees the ip, broadcast, nmask addresses.

well, don't ask why, but now i can send messages. I still can't receive any, but i least can send it. Still, i want to send a message to all computers on the network, i can't (in win you can do this by typing "net send * message".

So, any ideas? Please some help. I'm in a network and i miss all the fun when i'm in linux.

Hi, it's me again. After some reeding i realized why sudenly i can send messages with linpopup: i restarted the computer ( it's easyer to restart the smb service ). And after turning off the firewall (in my case the "iptables" service) i thought that my problems are over, since on the windows machine it said that "the message was succesfuly delivered". But... no messsge on my linux machine.

So, please... what is to be done?
