Hi again, I first wanted to thank everyone for helping try and get Samba up and running, the links and info helped. I have 2 computers one running Redhat 7 and the other WIN 98 the two are connected by a twisted pair no hub. I want to use my WIN 98 computer as the server, as it has all the files I want to access and the internet connection. I think I have my smb.conf right (it's real basic) and testparm says its correct for both. Both computers can ping each other but when I try to logon to the Samba server from linux it says the connection was refused and the WIN 98 one times out. Where did I go wrong?? -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
