Hi All,
Problem with Samba. This is a friend's home network running Windows 98 (*2) and Linux (MDK 10) (*1). The machines can all ping each other and the Windows machines will network properly (file sharing etc).
However the Linux box cannot see the Windows boxes in Samba and they can't see the Linux box. The permissions and shares in Linux are setup identically to mine at home which works. He even has the same network name as I do, because when we started out it seemed the best way for my laptop to retain compatibility with his system.
So, ping works by IP, but not by machine name. All protocols are installed, ie IPX/SPX. NetBEUI and TCP/IP. Also we networked my laptop last week to play UT2K3 over the network so connectivity is fine.
Any suggestions welcome please :)
Kind regards,
Julian ---
