<snip> Have the next headache ahead when I have to bump into the Linux Wall again : how to setup network with samba to connect to 2 PC's running windows and 2 machines running Linux. Think someone send an email with a link to something like "perfect setup network" ?? please resend. Install the samba-doc rpm if you haven't already. Then connect to http://localhost:901 (SWAT, the Samba Web Administration Tool) and read

You can also read the Samba user guide, at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/htmldocs/Samba-Guide/index.html; it's pretty good.
From SWAT, you can configure virtually everything you need to run a samba server. Off the top of my head, there is just one other thing you need to take care of elsewhere, and that is to allow the needed ports in the firewall. You need to allow these:
FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP="microsoft-ds netbios-dgm netbios-ns netbios-ssn" FW_SERVICES_INT_UDP="netbios-ns" FW_ALLOW_FW_BROADCAST_INT="netbios-ns"
The easiest place to set these is in Yast's sysconfig editor.
Tx Darryl many leads :) Niels
