I'm using Mandrake 9.1 and Samba is installed and smbd and nmbd is running.

Im trying to connect to swat in Mozilla using http://localhost901 but it went to an archive thread here which discussed problems accessing SWAT and the persons problem was solved by using NetConfig to make the server the DNS for local network requests.

I have gone into NetConfig and cant figure out how to make this change.

Would someone please tell me, step by step, how to do this?

Thanks

PS. When trying to telnet to the server from the server, connection is refused. Firewall is disabled.

Hello schigara,

Acouple of suggestions:

I don't know if this was a typo on your part but the url for swat is http://localhost:901

swat is part of initd or xinitd and this service should be started for swat to work (in some distros)

in other distros (I think RedHat is one) swat was listed as a seperate service in the service configuration gui. Then IIRC, there was a notice that xinitd (or initd) had to be enabled as well.

Unfortunately, I don't use mandrake. Since your using 9.1 check to see that xinitd is running (initd is an older version of the same network service daemon)

In suse, there is a section within YaST that starts xinitd and allows you to start/stop services that run uner this network daemon.

I hope this is some help to you.
