I have a win98 peer to peer network using a Samba server for file sharing. There 6 Machines on the net. I'm adding a XP Pro and cannot see the neighborhood network. I can get out to the Internet. I've made sure the workgroup name is correct and the XP is not set as DHCP. Our router is the DHCP. Is there something different about setting up the user for the XP Pro? I'm creating the user by: adduser, passwd, smbpasswd -a. Any help would be appreciated. __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

We dont have so good experience here on the list connecting XP's.It is rather difficult because M$ probably have done something with the XP firewall. However this could not be the problem here since your internet connection works fine.Samba uses ports 137(udp) ,138(udp) and 139 (tcp). make sure they are opened.You must also create the same user/passwd pair in linux as in samba, and log in with that in windows.But here you would probably got an Access denied error or permission denied error if that was not ok.Else make sure you have listed up thrusted interfaces in interfaces=x.x.x.x 127.0.0.1 in smb.conf.Eventually enable wins in smb.conf and set the wins ip in tcp/ip prop. in XP to the ip of your lan card.There could be a lot of other thing you must do that perhaps sombody else could answer, however I would check these things I mentioned first. --- CAREYUSELMAN@netscape.net skrev: > I have a win98 peer to peer network using a Samba> server for file sharing. > There 6 Machines on the net.

I'm runing 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 here an have 2 winxp pro machines logging into the samba servers on a workgroup with no problems either. Not sure what your problem could be. Also have 2 winxp pro machines on my network at home running 2.2.4 samba an they both login with no trouble. Had 3 before I got married an my roommate moved. will soon have wifes machine winxp pro also. jack At 01:52 PM 11/14/2002 -0500, Glenn Sieb wrote:>On 07:47 PM 11/14/2002 +0100, linux power wrote: >>We dont have so good experience here on the list >>connecting XP's. > >I'm running 2.2.6 here and have no problems with XP (I'm using XP on this >boxen as we speak).
