An example please of accessing Emsrv on windows from Ubuntu

Hi,

Can someone please post an example (of an .Ini file or whatever) of accessing Emsrv on windows from a client on Ubuntu. Thanks in advance.

My windows clients accessing Emsrv on windows works just fine. But my limited knowledge on Linux leaves me not quite getting the Ubuntu client to work.

Lou

I don't have an example, but there are two conditions that must be satisfied.

1) The Linux box must be able to reach the Windows box. Are you able to ping the Windows machine from the Linux one?

2) The "DefaultName" setting in your e.g. abt.ini must specify the full path of the manager file on the Windows machine, using Windows path representation.
e.g. DefaultName=C:\Program Files (x86)\Instantiations\VA Smalltalk\8.5.2\manager\mgr85.dat

If you are getting an error response, let us know what it is.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the help. I now have it working. I was aware of both the conditions you sited. But had a slight spelling error in the path (missing blank) and I was using the name of the windows computer (Ubuntu seemed to know it by that name) but that didn't work, when I changed to the doted decimal address, all worked. Thanks again.
