Hello. I am running samba-2.0.3-13 on linux 2.2.7 (SuSE6.1). Me and my two neighbors decided to setup a local network. Both my friends run win98. First I set up the smb.conf file and let my one neighbor run the Win98_PlainPassword.reg. He then rebooted his win-box and clicked on network neighbourhood. Everything worked perfectly, i.e. he could browse my shared files. Then he closed network neighbourhood and reopened it. My linux box was nowhere to be found! At the DOS-prompt I typed in "net use x: //linuxbox". Still didn't work, but now we could, if we erased "network neighbourhood" in the win-browser and typed in //linuxbox, browse the linuxbox. The odd thing is that the exact same thing happened when we tried to hook up my other neighbours computer. i.e it worked the first time but then didn't. Furthermore I can't get access from my linuxbox to any of the win boxes. There are no passwords set on the shared files, still when I try 'smbclient \\\\windowsbox\\' I get an error message; Added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: (here i just punched enter) tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname ( Invalid network name in tree connect.). I can't see any mistakes in network names, but then again I am no wiz. 'smbclient -L winbox' works fine and gives me a nice list of info about the windowsbox. Any ideas where I have gone wrong? I am about to give up so any information except RTFM will be received with great joy. Nikolaj Farrell nikk@home.se
