To whom it may Concern:
I am new to Linux and bought the Weekend Crash
Course to Linux which came with Red Hat Linux 7.2. I installed it without
a hitch on my Dell Inspiron 7000 with 300Mhz, and 320MB Ram. However, I am
having tons of trouble configuring Samba to network it with my Windows 98
desktop machine.
My username on my linux laptop is "Alex" and the
hostname of the laptop is "linuxbox" So far the best I have done is gotten the
Windows PC to see the Laptop and I can ping the laptop from the desktop and get
a response so I know it is going through. Because of this I assume that
nmbd is working correctly but something is getting messed up in the smbd portion
of this. My workgroup is "@home" running behind a Linksys Router with
DHCP. Currently I have my security setting to User but have also tried the
share level setting, but the USER setting has no encryption because I ran the
registry patch telling Windows to not encrypt my password.
My Goal once I get this filesharing portion running
correctly with my Desktop, I would like to add a printer that is currently
running on another Windows box which is running WinXP.
So far I have read all the documents that came with
samba as well as part of the Samba HOWTO.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Alex Shusterman
