Pascal,
The Win95 machines use the c:\windows\HOSTS for name resolution and the Linux box address is in there.
You're right about the SMB nor being set up properly. Question is how and why?:( Having rather publically said we could do this, I have to get a result here. If there's anything more you need, just send a reply. The guide I've been using is the Linux 5.1 manual and I've read the SAMBA howto and FAQ.
Hi, I have just run into a very perplexing problem with Yast. It has happened twice over the last few days while I have been setting up samba, rebuilding kernels , and doing alot of system changes. The symptom is Yast loses it's color screen, and comes up in black and white text-mode which has non-functionality in it. The non-functionality is that it refuses to let me change installed packages. How? Well, when you select a package to install, reinstall, or remove; then hit F10 for OK, a confirmation screen appears which says "discard changes?" "yes or no". If you answer no, you are returned to the selection. If you answer yes, you discard any change!!! So no changes can be made. It happened the first time when I recompiled my kernel to include ppp support for my NE2000 card. I was forced to reinstall. Things ran good, until I tried to get OSS sound drivers going after rebuilding my sound module for awe32 support. It wouldn't install saying it couldn't recompile the soundshield. I used to be able to run a midi program called drvmidi, and it reports that it can't open libncurses.so.3.2. Then Yast just went out on me again; so I'm asking either how to restore it, or what is going on. The rest of the system seems to work OK. But I can't use yast to reinstall ncurses, do you think that is what is wrong? Any clues? -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
