Boycot Intel Pentium III <http://www.bigbrotherinside.com/> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 13:25:45 -0500 (EST) From: Mark B Withers <gooober@one.net> To: Timothy Metz <tmetz@frankfurt.netsurf.de> Subject: Re: [SLE] Samba I should have specified more information here. I have the client for mircosoft networks installed, have also disabled the dummy eth0 device on my Linux box and have also specified "netbios name =" parameter in the /etc/smb.conf file. I think all of this has to do with an Internet explorer upgrade that I downloaded from MS. This was so that I could play active X games on the internet. Anyway, this is just a theory but I believe that's how I lost the "change password" tab. I have an "Internet" option in the control panel which looks a lot like Internet Explorer. Maybe I will have to uninstall Internet Explorer to get everything to work? I have followed the instructions in "Using Samba" by Oreilly & associates to configure it on the Windows side except for the "password" option for the reasons I previously described.
