Hi All, I am currently running a Server (called LinuxPDC) with Red Hat Linux 7.1 and Samba 2.2. I have a Windows 98 second edition client (called Gordon1). There are currently only three hosts connected via an Ethernet hub. Although PING works on both the Server IP address and Server host name I can not get the client to communicate in any other way with the server, (eg net view, browse etc.) I have followed all of the fault trees and trouble shooting sheets that I can find and they all seem to indicate that everything is OK. (I have used ping from both machines, used Testparm, logged on as the user and password with SMBclient, used smblookup with broadcast etc.) Any message sent from the client to the server gets a "Destination Unreachable" response, almost as if the server is on another sub-net with no routing. I have attached both my smb.conf file and a file captured using Ethereal (this was run on the third host, a NoteBook called Gordon_NB). I would really appreciate any help as I have been struggling for a month with this problem. <<ClientServerTest2>> <<smb.conf>> Many Thanks.

change hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24 127.0.0.1 to hosts allow = 192.168.1/24 127.0.0.1 ????????????? just a guess after several minutes of lookin for anything. I have a samba pdc working with this conf file and win98, winME and linux pc's on the domain. let me know if this helps good luck Fred ______________________________________________________ # Samba config file created using SWAT # from bits (208.161.142.154) # Date: 2001/08/08 16:00:44 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = CASTMARK netbios name = SRVR2 server string = PDC encrypt passwords = Yes allow trusted domains = No log level = 1 syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/smblog max log size = 50000 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = True domain master = True dns proxy = No wins support = Yes valid users = fred chuck gary jane pamela keefer nobody chris lindy amber admin users = fred create mask = 0764 hosts allow = 209.38.98.99 192.168.0/24 192.168.1/24 hosts deny = 1.1.1.1/0.0.0.0 hide dot files = No [netlogon] path = /usr/samba/lib/netlogon write list = fred ntadmin [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [storage] comment = storeage (housekeeping needed) path = /a3 write list = fred gary chuck jane force group = smba [drive2] comment = data path = /g1 write list = fred gary chuck keefer jane force group = smba ____________________________________________________ On Sunday 06 January 2002 11:30 pm, Gordon Leibbrandt wrote: Hi All, I am currently running a Server (called LinuxPDC) with Red Hat Linux 7.1 and Samba 2.2.

Thanks Fred, I tried your change and then tried changing any other relevant parameters that were different from yours in smb.conf. Unfortunately the problem persists. There is no way that the client can see the server.
