Re: [Plug] Samba Problems
|
I tried those things already with the same results. The Win32 PCs don't use
static IP addresses like my computer does. Could this be the problem? My
computer uses the address 206.181.181.73 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and
the Win32 PCs use 172.16.1.x with a netmask of 255.255.0.0. Could this cause a
problem with SMB? I thought that SMB was supposed to work seamlessly over
TCP/IP, but since it's a M$ invention, what can I expect :)
