Hi,
I've been running samba on a linux machine (dslkayak) to share a
folder and a printer with several windows machines on a home network
for a couple of years without problems.
I've recently added a second linux machine (ps3ydl) to the network,
but I cannot access it from any other machines on the network even
though it can access the other network shares.
There error I get is:
cli_start_connection: failed to connect to PS3YDL<20> (0.0.0.0).
Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE
even though I can ping to ps3ydl.
Any help would be appreciated, details below.
John
