I have a home network consisting of my SuSE 10.0 laptop and a Win2K desktop. The desktop is wired to a router and the laptop is using 802.11g to connect to the router. Both machines can get out to the internet. The desktop can ping and open a list of shares on the laptop. I cannot however open any of the shares on the laptop since it asks for a user/pass combinantion. None of my valid combos seem to allow authentication. The laptop cannot either ping or open a share on the desktop. The two IP addy's are 192.168.0.101 (windows) and 192.168.0.102 (SuSE). Both machines can also open the router config page at 192.168.0.1. What could be going on?? Also, the laptop, when I bring it into work, can connect through the ethernet cable to my corporate network accessing NT LanMan shares without an issue. (I just create a share like smb://me@1.1.1.1/share) TIA -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
