Connecting Windows 2000 (Client)
to IRIX/Samba (Server)
by Diego Alberto De Giorgio Software Requirements
IRIX/Samba Installation 1. Open "Toolchest/System/System Manager" 2. Choose "Networking and Connectivity", and
now choose "Set Up and Start Networking", giving parameters
according to your net.- 3. Choose "Host Manager" followed by "Add
a Host Entry" for each host on your network. INDY 192.168.236.106
255.255.255.0 Note: Do not use the IP Address 192.0.2.1 as a host entry as this is a self-testing IP probed by SGI. It does not serve or receive data to/from any hardware network interface and therefore should not be used for networking purposes. 4. Install Samba on IRIX 6.5.XX. Samba for IRIX can
be downloaded free of charge from the SGI Freeware web site. 5. At this point, you can read briefly "Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf", from "/usr/samba", to resolve any particular need.- 6. Open your default browser (Netscape Navigator) and type under"Location" the following URL: "http://localhost:901/". 7. You´ll have now opened "SWAT", on the home page (image1), with a list of documents that you can read directly within your browser. 8. Now you can create your Samba Configuration File,
choosing "GLOBALS" from "SWAT". To view the Samba configuration file created using SWAT,
click
here. 9. Look at "inetd.conf" file from "/etc", taking care to read the following line at the end of file: #SWAT services You can download my own file from here: inetd.conf You will also need to add a new line declaring "smbd" and "nmbd" services, if your Samba installation has not taken care of this. For instructions on how to do this see the documentation inside "/usr/samba". 10. Look at "services" file from "/etc", taking care to read the following line at the end of file: #SWAT services You can download my own file from here: services 11. Restart your system to activate all the new networking services. 12. Open "Toolchest/System/System Manager". 13. Set a password for the Samba admin account by using "Security and Access Control/Modify Your Account Password" (image3). 14. Create a crypted password for Samba, coincident with the prior account pass, using a "Unix Console": /usr/samba/bin/./smbpasswd - your_user_name Replace your_user_name with the right user name account.- 15. Open your default browser (eg. Netscape Navigator)
and under "Location" type the following URL: "http://localhost:901/".
You´ll see both services ("smbd" and "nmbd")
start up in the "STATUS" page (image4).
1. Open "Control Panel/Network and Dial-Up Connections/Local Area Connection (Right-Click/Properties)".- (We are assuming that you have assigned NetBIOS computer name, coincident with the declared on samba; if not, please correct it!) 2. Make sure 'Client for Microsoft Networks' is installed. 3. Make sure 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' is installed 4. Install 'Client for Microsoft Networks" and "TCP/IP protocol' if not present. 5. Open 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)'. 6. Declare on 'Use the Following IP Address' the IP for your existing Win2K machine. 7. Declare on 'Use the Following DNS Server Addresses'the IP for your existing IRIX/Samba Server. 8. Click on 'Advanced' and check that the 'IP Adresses' for your Win2K machine is the same as the IP for your IRIX/Samba Server. 9. Use the defaults settings for 'DNS'and 'WINS' name service pages. 10. Open 'My Network Places' and check for the newly connected Samba Server. 11. Double-click on it and enter login and password. 12. That's it! You can now browse your IRIX system on the SGI320. |
