Installing The Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Protocol Responder For Linux On Debian Lenny This document describes how to install and configure the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Protocol - Responder Source Code from Microsoft. The lld2d daemon allows linux systems to display in Vista's Network Map. This How-To should be easily adaptable to other distros.

Even I am getting the same error. Please help

By: newbe2linux

hi I am trying to compile the lld2d in fedora 10, it compiles after adding the limits.h to state.c

but when i run it and refresh the vista network map 

i get "An error mapping the process" on the windows machine 

Please help

I had to add the following line to state.c to get this to compile for me without any errors:

#include <LIMITS.H>

Good luck.

By: The Bounty Hunter

state.c (src folder) MUST have the line

#include <limits.h>

in the include section.  It doesn't work correctly if limits.h is capitalized.

Read the following article to make your linux box appear on a Windows 7 network map using the lld2d responder:

To add to the above, and to save you some time also do the below as sudo or root to make the compiler work in 8.10.

 ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh

Compiles here also
Nice how-to :-)

Just being pedantic: Runlevel 2 is normally without network support and lines 6 and 7 of the init.d script should therefore be

# Default-Start:     3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 2 6

By: Steve

I tried using the init.d script but received an error:

[root@FEDORA ~]# /etc/init.d/lld2d start
Starting LLTD Protocol Responder: /etc/init.d/lld2d: line 44: start-stop-daemon: command not found

 My INTFACE variable is eth1.

 

Great tutorial, Thanks!

well written; it complied on Debian (Lenny) without issue.

started up fine (as root) with ./lld2d start 

Thank you

Just downloaded it from there, so it's good as of today, anyway. ;-)

Also compiles and runs under openSuSE11.0 ... but Win7 gives a error when creating a network overview. If I stop the daemon on the other computer, the overview gets created...

Any ideas ?
