Ronald J Marchand enscribed:
| I have a SCO OpenServer Enterprise 5.0.5 installation with RS505a, oss600a
| and oss497c.  Sco IPX/SPX and TCP/IP w/ SCO NFS Runtime protocols are
| installed.  Then installed VisionFS 3.00.97 and installed the patch
| currently on caldera.com.  The host can ping the WIN98 pc and the Win98 pc can
| ping the host.

| Logged in as the VisionFS administrator on the WIN98 pc, I do a find
| computer and the VisionFS server appears.  When I tried to open it for
| viewing, the IPC$ password was requested, but it complained about an invalid
| password and then went on.  It takes several minutes for the shares to
| appear.  I was able to navigate to vision directory where profedit is kept.
| The icon did not display properly and the program would not execute.

| I have removed the vision product (and rm -r 'd the directory) and
| reinstalled it, but the behavior is the same.

| Does anyone have a solution to this problem??



What is 3.00.97?  VisionFS 3.0 (for OpenServer) started with 3.00.917
but the latest release is 3.10.* which you can get from either the website
or the latest Vision 2K media.














Your password problem is because you either have your passwords misconfigured
or it is not recognizing the password.



Vision first looks at the username and password on the Windows box and if
they correspond to the name/password combination it expects, then it 
allows access to the appropriate shares.  If no match is found, then it
will prompt for the VisionFS password for the user who is logged into the
windows box.



Your networking problems are related to the crude Microsoft networking
scheme and until you understand their browser and "name" instead of ip
number concept, it will be a PITA.  After that, it will just be a pita.


M3IP inc.



The slowness of the machines to appear in the Network Ghetto is one of
the wonders of Microsoft.  The longest I have clocked is 37 minutes
and have heard of some machines that never appear although "find computer"
will locate them.



Verify that all machines are in the same Workgroup, that each has the
name and ip address of the VisionFS server in c:\windows\hosts (you have
to create it from hosts.sam) and that each pc has a unique name and that
it is listed with appropriate ip address in /etc/hosts on the server.



If you are still having problems:









Try forcing a new browser election with:
  /usr/vision/visionfs/bin/visionfs election <workgroup_name>
This will force the windows machines to convene and elect a new master
browser, however, they always seem to elect the incumbent.  VisionFS
nicely tells you who that is and if things don't improve, try shutting
down the current browser machine and forcing a new election, then bringing
the other machine back on line.



Another problem can be having all sorts of unused/unnecessary garbage
running on the windows box.  IPX, NetBios and anything else that is not
needed should (must be at my locations) removed.  Internal modems,
used or unused can be another source of extreme aggravation.



Of course, all of the above depends on you having a properly working
network and remember, just because telnet is working doesn't mean that
the windows network is running properly.

    I took a random stab at the free upgrades and ordered a new cell phone. Didn't check features or reviews. Hope I don't hate it.
