When I use Samba by itself in a workgroup-like setup it seems to run 24/7. However, as soon as I tie it to another auth scheme like Active Directory or LDAP it runs for a few weeks then turns flaky and has problems authenticating all of the sudden. I would love to replace my Windows servers with Linux boxes, but I just don't trust Samba yet. I think I’m going to give Likewise I try at some point.

Download the xmodem BIOS image from the pcengines site, instructions are in the readme file. You can also update the BIOS using xmodem over serial, if you don’t have another CF card.

But if it helps someone w/ the steps for [mostly] Windows, then hopefully it's better then nothing. :D http://www.forums.cory.lievers.ca/viewtopic.php?t=196 Feel free though if you wanted to update your post to include any of the information I posted, for the Windows variety, however I'd test some stuff first. :D Hey, so like I said in my forum post, I didn’t really have too much information written down, only some guideline notes I wrote, so a lot of this is just from memory.

It was indeed a DB9 F/F cable that I used. The most embarrassing thing is that I was looking right at the ALIX when I wrote this recipe. I need some more sleep :-) Clievers - thanks for pointing out the DB9 error, I’ve corrected it in the recipe. It was indeed a DB9 F/F cable that I used.

This article would have come in handy a few weeks back. :D I got the ALIX 2C3 board. I did most of my stuff in Windows (except the serial communication), so I'll post what I did (based on my recollection) on my site, and then put a link in the comments here later. One question I have for you, in your post you mention for a serial cable "DB9 null-modem cable with a DB9 male on one end, and a DB9 female on the other". Is the 2C1 board a female connector? Because on my computer(s) and 2C3 board, it's all male ends, so it required a DB9 F/F null modem cable. Boy. This article would have come in handy a few weeks back. :D
