I've take a look at your previous mail again... there seems to be kind of a messup in your network configuration... (wrong netid+netmask ?) And there's one wrong line in your smb.conf (if you didn't make a mistake when you typed it ;-) ) Could you get it working yet ? What's _really_ the problem ? Can't people see the Linux box in the network neighborhood ?

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.

The network details are as follows:

Workgroup->enterprise Protocol->TCP/IP Linux IP address 102.54.100.166 Linux name->P166 Other IP addresses->102.54.100.10, 102.54.100.120, 102.54.100.5, etc.

===> I guess you have a 102.54.100./255.255.255.0 IP network... that's different from what you had as a message from nmblookup in your last mail... Samba thinks you have a 102.54./255.255.0.0 network; that's why he says 'network unreachable'.

Other IP addresses->P10, P120, P5, etc. All listed in the /etc/hosts file and neatly pingable by address.

Part of smb.conf is as follows...

[global] workgroup = enterprise guest account = nobody keep alive = 30 os level = user ===> that's wrong... it should be: os level = 0 (or more than 32 if you want to take control over the network ;-) ) security = user printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes

wins support = no

[homes] comment = home directory browseable = yes read only = yes create mode = 0750
