Hello, After seeing all the recent posts on samba, I decided to try an hook my old 486 with win95, up to my linux box. Everything seems to work except for a few unexpected things. I'm used to the peer-to-peer win95 style of networking where you can see evrything on both computers. I'm connected via ethernet cards, with TCP/IP linux = 192.168.0.1 win95 = 192.168.0.2 Question 1: I can see my linux home directory in Win95's Network Neighborhood, that is expected, but I can't seem to see my win95 c: drive from the linux machine. Is this samba server only a one way street? Question 2: If I fire up Netscape on the win95 machine, I can get my apache web page with <A HREF="http://192.168.0.1"><A HREF="http://192.168.0.1</A">http://192.168.0.1</A</A>> but I can't get to my ftp directory in /usr/local/ftp with <A HREF="ftp://192.168.0.1"><A HREF="ftp://192.168.0.1</A">ftp://192.168.0.1</A</A>> I get no connection. Why? Also if I <A HREF="ftp://localhost"><A HREF="ftp://localhost</A">ftp://localhost</A</A>> on the linux machine, I'm accepted as anonymous user, but am dumped into "/" with no file access. How do I get ftp access into /usr/local/ftp? I checked Yast under user ftp, and the home directory is shown as /usr/local/ftp. Why do I get sent to a useless "/". I've heard this stuff is supposed to be "easy as pie", but I'm lucky I got this far. :-) zentara -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
