Hello- I am in the process of upgrading our NT 3.51 to NT 4.0 but have run into a problem: We have Samba 1.9.14 running on a UnixWare 2.1 machine. With the NT 3.51 machines the Samba Serveris not visible in the Network Neightborhood, but it can be easily accessed by specifying where one wants to connect. NT 4.0 doesn't seem to have this option. So, 1) can someone tell me HOW to make the Samba Server appear in the Neighborhood Network on NT 4.0; what changes should I make on either the the NT side or in the smb.conf 2) And/Or is there someway to specify the samba server on NT 4.0 that I haven't yet found? TIA amelia@adax.com

If you are you won't be able to see/use the Samba server because of the encrypted passwords (read the docs. about WinNT in the docs directory) unless you do something about (read ENCRYPTION in the docs directory). To be able to browse and see your Samba server I suggest (again) you read BROWSING in (again) the docs directory. : 2) And/Or is there someway to specify the samba server on : NT 4.0 that I haven't yet found? Yup: just go to Start menu and choose Run. There type the name of the share you want to access. Something like this: \\samba_server\share_name. Or just type "\\samba_server" to see the available shares. See ya. E.- -- Eloy A. Paris Information Technology Department Rockwell Automation de Venezuela Telephone: +58-2-9432311 Fax: +58-2-9431645
