Re: [PLUG] Speaking of Win98 -- Samba question

I have never been able to get samba to work, and thought I'd give it another try. I can ping the Linux machine from windows and vice versa, but can't get samba to work. There are no NT, 2000 or XP machines, just a win98 and a win95. Does samba require at least one "NT" machine?


Under network properties on the Win9x boxes, make sure file sharing and print sharing is installed and enabled. On the Linux box, make sure Samba (smbd) is running. By default you should be able to see the Samba server in Network Neighborhood. More than likely you will not be able to connect to a Samba share, but you should be able to see the server. Let's start with that.
