Dear Zu'bi :

I'm very glad that received the message from u and I think I can solve your problem ;)

To be frankly ,I have always couldn't open the website using Firefox in Ubuntu when DHCP Service is runing. Why?

Because we should select the DNS Service Host by ourselves. The detailed steps as follow:

Step One:

Open the Terminal and enter the /etc/ just like this:

delphiscn@Delphiscn:/$ cd /etc/

delphiscn@Delphiscn:/etc$

Then,Find the file named resolv.conf and open it.

Tips: When u open the resolv.conf u maybe fail because the system think that your account is not the root account and print the message says:Permission denied.

So, First you should raise your privilege. In Ubuntu, U can use the command sudo to switch. and become the root . Otherwise, U can use the command

chmod 777 resolv.conf to edit the file.

If it is going well. We can enter the Step Two:

Edit the resolv.conf:

In my resolv.conf the content as the below:

search domain

nameserver 202.102.8.141

nameserver 218.2.135.1

the nameserver 202.102.8.141 and 218.2.135.1 is my city's DNS Server. So My Computer is work well.

U can change the nameserver to your country's DNS Server address.

If it is not the problem about DHCP. I think we should check the Samba service.

Now, first,Is the Samba service runing ? Haha~~ Check it.

Next,Check the smb.conf and find the line as bellow:

[global]

workgroup = LinuxNet

netbios name = LinuxNet05

server string = Linux Samba Server TestServer

security = share/***************************This line****************/

[linuxnet]

path = /opt/linuxnet

writeable = yes

browseable = yes

guest ok = yes

Is the security equal the value "share" in your smb.conf? NOT the value "user"?

Then, the Authentication Required message for Windows 2003 maybe is not your Ubuntu's problem

Perhaps, I think that........ If there is any necessary that the Windows 2003 should create a accound for the remote user? Just like Guest account in windows 2003? or there is something wrong with the Firewall's setting?

I'm very sorry that replying the letter so late. I was very busy recently because I was preparing for my exam ;)

See U next time~~~ I'm very glad to make firend with you. I am a student in Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology,China.

Sincerely

Vincent Yan

Dear Yan :

I'm really proud to have friend like you in China Society , i really and i swear that i respect your mind wooooow ;)

actually Vincent i made some configure in more than one files under ubuntu and now i can't even log in .. im use my XP Operating system :D

i get these ip from my university PC in Lab under windows registry :

192.168.198.1
162.121.207.149 dhcp ip
162.121.211.12 dhcp default
162.121.211.1 162.121.211.2 dhcp name server

192.168.219.1

10.6.160.1 dhcp nameserver

10.6.160.44 dhcp ip adress

10.6.175.254 dhcp server

255.255.240.0 dhcp subnet

i replace 10.6.160.1 as my local host 127.0.0.1 and configure my resolv.conf putting 162.121.211.1 162.121.211.2 as a DNS

and i configure my smb.conf but no my security was domain not share maybe this can make some change ??

Vincent i try to get their Oracle database just to edit my marks its really bad some how :P

my problem is when im accessing their windows machine on the network as it called Controlroom pc i knew that their Oracle inside it when i Unpluged the Lan cable from their EXE PC just to tell me run time error message telling me that couldn't open" \\controlroom/c:/msa.dbf" ;)

i need to make my ubuntu pc uthenticated or break down their password required or there is any application can help me ?? just to access Controlroom pc and copy their Oracle ... can i ???????!!!!!!

and i have some and good information about programming field in Visual basic and i know that their EXE file has the Control room password as it programmed to access it and to read their Database , but i don't even can get their exe program to analyze it :@

and really I'm sorry for my bothering :)

sincerely

Dear Zu'bi :
I have talked about your problem with my friends and we get the conclusion that ....
Generally, many universities' computers will bind the MAC address.Maybe there is a restrict within the MAC.
But if in your network, XP can access the Windows 2003 and Linux can't. Please check the Linux driver and try to get a IP address using DHCP service :)
Someabout Oracle...
My friend says that if the network connection is down the Oracle will can't read the data file in \\controlroom\c:\ so,please keep your network connection alive when u want to do something with Oracle :)
Sincerely
Vincent Yan
