I have a SuSE 8.1 server running on a Win2K network and I found the easiest way to set it up was with Wibmin. (www.webmin.com) I don't see any obvious problems, althought I am not an expert. I used Webmin for the server and LinNeighborhood for the client setup. It was pretty easy. In fact, a colleague of mine switched to SuSE 8.1 from RedHat, and connected like I did with not problems.

One thing I forgot to mention, go to www.riguy.com/smb2.html. This is a great tutorial on using webmin with samba. Art

I recently went through a series of e-mails with someone from this list with a very similar problem [check archives for the full details of the "debugging" we did, but his problem was he was editing the wrong smb.conf file, so he wasn't actually making any changes]
smb.conf reads:
[global] interfaces = 127.0.0.1/8 192.168.0.1/24 bind interfaces only = yes
This is the magic setting that makes things work, and it appears *almost* correct -- looking at your next comment
My machine gets ... 192.168.0.247
sure, the "subnet" part (192.168.0) is the same, but the ACTUAL machine number is different -- 247 != 1 the smb.conf line is telling samba/nmb to explicitly use IP address 192.168.0.1, which it cannot because that address does not exist on your computer. You'll need to do one of the following: 1) set your computer to a fixed address [and make everything match] 2) remove this line and let samba "figure out" which interface to use [could be considered "less secure", however] 3) modify your if-up script to re-write the smb.conf file with the actual IP address received from your DHCP controller. [eeeewwwwww....]

4) use
interfaces = lo eth0
I think that would work.

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, ">Doh!<" (I even suggested that to the guy who had the problem the first time, since it was copied from the "FineManaul" ;) )
Gentlemen, Thanks for all of your replies. Here's what I did to make Samba work... First, I changed the following two lines in samba.conf: interfaces = 127.0.0.2/8 192.168.0.247/24 bind interfaces only = no Next, I used YaST to stop and then restart nmbd and smbd. I can now browse shares locally. On Tuesday I'll hook up the laptop and check printing, but assume no news is good news! Thanks again!
