I am running Advanced File & Print Server on Openserver 5. I am dialing
into the unix system with a Windows 95 pc using a PPP connection.
The PPP connection works fine. My problem is that it does not give me
access to the shared AFPS resources. I would like to share disks and
printers just like our in-house pc's.
I would appreciate any info on this.
Thanks,
Eberto

This is a different issue than your original post I guess... This isQuote:> I am running Advanced File & Print Server on Openserver 5. I am dialing

I worked through it with one of the AF&PS engineers. Off the top of my
head, you need to do the following:
1) Configure TPI netbios under TCP/IP
2) Add the line NB_KPALIVE=0 in /etc/default/nbconf
3) Configure an lmhosts file in /etc that lists the remote PC
and its IP address
4) Configure the Win 95 lmhosts file with the name and IP
address of the AF&PS server
You also need to check the "Log on to network" box in you dial-out
profile/interface. Once you get connected it will probably complain
about no domain server available to validate. It will probably also ask
you to log in twice. Once this occurs, you can do a "find computer" and
search for the AF&PS server. It should find it, at which point you can
browse that server.
It works pretty decent, but is a bit slow.

1. WIN95 + Advanced File & Print Server
I am told that there is no workaround for this problem at the moment. I
seek the combined wisdom of the group to hopefully prove this wrong!
Anyway, we have a client with a OSE 5.0 with release supplement 5.00d
and net100 installed as well as the AFPS admin suplement. We installed
AFPS successfully. There were no problems in getting the WIN95 machine
to talk to the SCO machine. Logged into the domain fine, was able to
access and use all utilities etc. Everything looked great... until....
We shared a particular data directory containing the data files for the
Accounting software they run. In that directory there are 2168 files
(ridiculous in my opinion) all but 8 of which have at least one upper
case letter in the name and guess what, only those eight are visible.
The others just ain't there. Ownerships and permissions are identical
for all files.
Now this is where it got interesting, I created a file called scott.dat
and it did not appear either! (yes the directory listing was refreshed
.. Windows got rebooted more than once in this process!) I copyed all
lower case file names to another directory and they *did* all appear
there. Add a filename with just one uppercase letter and it won't be
shown. All these problems were seen with WIN95 explorer BTW.
So the questions are:
1) are 2168 files too many for WIN95/AFPS? If so, how many are too many?
2) is the problem showing uppercase filenames really unresolvable?
3) do I install my beloved Samba instead afterall?
4) Did SCO really provide the free single user license in the media kit
so that we could find out about this before getting severely embaressed?
5) Should I visit a hair replacement specialist at this point?
Thanks in advance,
cheers
Scott.
