I'm not sure if this is a samba/solaris problem or a Win98 problem and
I'll tell you why. I have a Solaris 8 server runing samba 2.2.2, a
linux/samba 2.0.7 box and a couple Win 98 boxes. When I did a complete restore
of my Win98 box from tape, I could no longer access the Solaris 8 server via
network neighbourhood. I can see the Solaris/samba box there with the other
Win98 and linux box but when I double click on the Solaris box I get \\Sunbox is
not accessible. The computer or share name could not be found. Make sure you
typed it in correctly".
This is strange because from the other Win98 box I can access the Solaris samba
resource without a problem. I thought this might be a password problem so I
changed my samba password but that didn't work either. Essentially I cannot
access the Solaris/samba resource from just one Win98 workstation (mine).
Here is a dump of the packets on the sunbox:
(/)-->snoop -d iprb1
Using device /dev/iprb (promiscuous mode)

The PC 'gary' cannot access samba resource. All I see are a couple of
successful NBT NS query requests but that's all.
This is the snoop with the PC 'melody' that can access the Solaris 8
samba without a problem:
melody -> 192.168.0.255 NBT NS Query Request for SUNBOX[20], Success

Quite different.
