==Translation of Dutch text==
 
−
As I don't have an English version of WinXP, I am supplying the exact Dutch text in this manual.
 
−
This is to prevent errors.
 
−
Anybody with a English version of WinXP is invited to replace this text with the precise English version.
 
−
Or post the precise English version at http://worldforum.pardus-linux.nl/index.php?topic=1017.30

2. Install required software:
 +
 +
{{command | sudo pisi it samba-swat xinetd -y}}

5. Start KWrite with root privileges and modify file /etc/services:
 +
 +
{{command | /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu kwrite /etc/services}}
 +
 +
(wait some seconds for KWrite to appear) and change (with function Edit > Replace) the text (2x)
 +

 +
#smpnameres
 +
6. After saving check with:
 +
 +
{{command |  more /etc/services | grep smpnameres}}
 +
 +
[[Image:Samba-swat-etc-services.png|550px|Check file /etc/services]]

7. Set password for root:
 +
 +
{{command | sudo smbpasswd -a root}}
 +
 +
(''ignore warnings (10x) "account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type .."'')
 +
 +
8. Add root as user:
 +
 +
{{command | sudo smbpasswd -e root}}
 +
 +
[[Image:Samba-swat-smbpassword.png|550px|Adding smbpassword and user]]
 +

12. Set Samba at startup and activate the service in System Settings > Service Manager or reload the service after every change in the Samba Settings.
 +
 +
(''in konsole with
 +
{{command | sudo service samba on}}
 +
 +
and
 +
 +
{{command | sudo service samba start}} or {{command | sudo service samba reload}}'' )

Configuration of network between Pardus and WindowsXP

Introduction

This is a manual about configuring a network between computers after a new installation of Pardus and WindowsXP Professional (+SP2).

Both computers are connected to a router or a switch.

[Apply] = activate the [Apply] button or select [this text].

{text} = the text in a window.

Settings for Pardus 2011

1. Open a konsole.

2. Install required software:

sudo pisi it samba-swat xinetd -y

3. Get root privileges:

su

4. Create a file "/etc/xinetd.d/swat" as shown in the picture bellow.

The easiest way is to select/copy the entire text in the box below and paste it in the konsole and check for a 100% equal result from the picture below. 

rm /etc/xinetd.d/swat -f
echo 'service swat
{
       port            = 901
       socket_type     =  stream
       protocol        =  tcp
       wait            =  no
       user            =  root
       server          =  /usr/sbin/swat
       only_from       =  127.0.0.1
       log_on_failure  += USERID
       disable         =  no
} '>>/etc/xinetd.d/swat
exit
more /etc/xinetd.d/swat

File /etc/xinetd.d/swat

5. Start KWrite with root privileges and modify file /etc/services:

/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu kwrite /etc/services

(wait some seconds for KWrite to appear) and change (with function Edit > Replace) the text (2x) 

smpnameres

into 

#smpnameres

6. After saving check with:

more /etc/services

Check file /etc/services

7. Set password for root:

sudo smbpasswd -a root

(ignore warnings (10x) "account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type ..")

8. Add root as user:

sudo smbpasswd -e root

Adding smbpassword and user

9. Set Xinetd at startup and activate the service in System Settings > Service Manager.

(in konsole with

sudo service xinetd on

and

sudo service xinetd start )


10. Login to the Samba Settings page in Firefox at address http://localhost:901/

Login and welcome of samba

11. Allow (if applicable) traffic on port 445 at the Incomming connections of the Firewall in System Setting > Firewall.

Enable port 445 for smb in firewall

12. Set Samba at startup and activate the service in System Settings > Service Manager or reload the service after every change in the Samba Settings.

(in konsole with sudo service samba on

and

sudo service samba start or sudo service samba reload )

13. Access from client computer to server (samba) computer through 

smb://username@ip.address.of.server

in address bar of Dolphin.

Access in Dolphin to server

Settings for Pardus 2009/2008

Pardus 2009

[System Settings] > [Service Manager]
      if not green flag at samba: put cursor on samba > check mark at "Run on start' > Activate [Start service] (flag turns green).

[System Settings] > [Firewall Manager]
      if "Firewall is activated" check that there is no mark at "Block Incoming Connections"

[System Settings] > [Network Manager]
      make a note of the IP address
or
[System Settings] > [Advanced]>[Samba]
      make a note of the "NetBIOS name:"

Pardus 2008

[Tasma] > [System] > [Service Manager]
      Select [SMB Network Sharing].
      Put a mark at {Run on startup} and activate the green (Start)button.
      In the column {Run on Startup} {Yes} should be shown.
      [Back].
[Internet & Network] > [Firewall Config] 
      [Start Firewall] (if not already running)
      Put a mark at {Windows file sharing service}
      [Apply] > [Back]
[Samba] > [Base Settings] 
      Make a note of the {NetBIOS name:} (this is referred to as NetBIOSnamePardusPC)
      [Back]

As a default the /home/samba directory is configured as a shared directory. This directory will be readable from WinPC. Making this directory writable from WinPC will come later in this manual. As this directory is empty after a new installation, it is advisable to put a (image)file in this directory.

Settings for Windows

[start] > [Control Panel] > [Network and Internet Connections] > [Network Connections] > [Network Setup Wizard]
      Check mark at {Yes, use the existing shared connection for this computer's Internet access(recommended)}
      Make a note of the {Computer name:} (this is referred to as ComputernameWinPC)
      Put a mark at {Turn on file and printer sharing}
      {To apply these settings, click Next}
      Put a mark at {Just finish the wizard; I don't need to run the wizard on other computers}

If you have Sygate firewall: 

Open Sygate firewall > [Tools] > [Options...] > [OK] > [Network Neighborhood]
      Select Network Interface (with multiple interface cards)
      Put a mark at {Allow others to share my files and printer(s)}
      [OK]

After this a restart of the computer is required.

Access from PardusPC to shared folder in WinPC

[Home] and enter at {Location:} 

smb://ComputernameWinPC (+ enter).

or 

smb://IP.address.of.the.remote.site (+ enter).

(for ComputernameWinPC see [start]>[Control Panel]>[System]>[Computer Name]>{Full computer name}

It is possible to make a Link to Location (URL)... with {smb://...........} on your Desktop.

Access from WinPC to shared folder in PardusPC

Configuration of printer (connected to WinPC) in Pardus

This is valid when the printer is connected to WinPC.

WinPC

From the shared printer (which is connected to WindowsXP) we need to know the IP address and the share name of the printer. 

[start] > [Printers and Fax] > right-click printer > [Properties} > [Share] > 
     note the Share name: (Share name printer) and check the mark at Share this printer:
