Win98 Samba share "does not exist"?
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/d51df9dcd1fdfb27a1d4565ba24f90ef.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
SUSE93 YAST -> "Security and Users" -> "Firewall" - stop firewall. YAST -> "Network Services" -> "Samba Client" - Workgroup=BAX Desktop -> "Network Browsing" -> "SMB Shares" -> BAX I see a list of computers in the BAX workgroup (on my home network). When I click on icon for any of these machines, I see a list of shares available on the machine. One of the machines is OpenBSD running Samba, and I can access those shares, no problem. There are three Win98 systems with shared folders. When I click on folder name, I get: --> The file or folder smb://machine/folder does not exist. Did I miss something? Extraneous(?) Info: There is also a WinXP system on the network - not in BAX workgroup - we use Internet Connection Sharing to access DSL connection (router is currently broken and not yet replaced - a long story).

Upgrade samba client... Release Notes for Samba 3.0.13 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.13 include: o Infinite FindNext() loop from Windows 9x client when copying or deleting files on a Samba file share using explorer.exe. o Numerous smbclient bugs when listing directories. o Failures in smbclient when connecting to a Windows 9x file server.
