apptagieres,
you need to create a “host A” record. Make sure that the PTR record is also created at the same time.

Sorry, I am still confused.

Yes, I have my DC configured also as my DNS server. The “net ads join -U” from the samba server kept reporting “No DNS domain configured for . Unable to perform DNS Update.”

How can I “create a ‘host A’ entry for my samba server ” ? I tried in the dnsmgmt console of my DC (Win2003ServerR2), but did not find good place to go.

“compiz –replace”

flashes my windows twice, removes windows borders and then immediately restarts the window manager, no luck.

First of all, thank you for putting this together. There were a few other descriptions of this out there–but this one was very well done.

I think that I have everything installed correctly, but I run into trouble when I run:
sudo pppd call barry-tmobileus
I get a lot of output, but the part that I think is relevant is:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
…
Sent 1139 bytes, received 500 bytes.
sent IPCP TermReq id=0×6b “Could not determine local IP address”
rcvd IPCP TermAck id=0×6b

rcvd LCP TermAck id=0×2
Connection terminated.

I found an instance of this error over at:
http://blog.ub3rgeek.net/2009/12/29/bluetooth-dun-with-blackberry-9700-t-mobile-and-ubuntu-9-10/
which makes me think that it might have something to do with Blackberry Device software 5.0.

Do you have any ideas what I might do to get it going? I can’t let my co-workers know that their windoze boxes can do something that my linux box can’t, I just can’t.

Thanks Again!

Comment on Debian eth0, eth1, eth2, in Virtualbox or VMware Virtual machines when copying by Craig

Pretty useful info. Was confused as to why the machine kept creating new eth devices and so messing up my static configuration for one of the devices.

Cheers for the explanation.

Alex,
I’ve never heard of Wind mobile. You should do a little research into what kind of network they have. Then take that information to edit a pre-made configuration from a network that barry includes by default in /etc/ppp/peers/.

Niko, alex,

I’d recommend that both of you look into the files in “/etc/ppp/peers/”. When I call

sudo pppd call barry-verizon

, The computer is actually looking for a file by that name in the directory.

This command will list the pre-installed configurations:
ls /etc/ppp/peers/barry*

I ran through all of this, looked like it worked, but when I tried the PPPD command (I have ATT), I used sudo pppd call barry-ATT Cingular I got a response that looked like :
can’t open options file /etc/ppp/peers/barry-ATT: No such file or directory

I’m wondering if I made an error somewhere, and if you might know what went wrong.
I’m also wondering if this is solely a terminal run program or something with a GUI.
