I have recently been messing with some files on my Debian 2.0 machine in order to get ppp and diald to work. Somehow while messing with these files I screwed up Samba. It all started when I accidentally copied my /etc/hostname file from my other linux box to this one. I have changed my hostname to reflect the name I want on this new Debian server. Part of the problem may also be that I cannot ping monster1, that is the server that I am trying to get Samba working on, from Windows 95. I can ping the ip address for monster1. I can ping my old linux machine called linux42298 by name and address. Samba is running on the old server and I can access it from windows 95. I think I am making this more complicated than it needs to be, but here it is in a nutshell. I have two Debian machines one called linux42298 and running Debian 1.3 I can ping this machine by name and address and I can map drives to it from window 95. I have another machine running Debian 2.0 and it is called monster1. I can not ping this machine by name but can ping it by address. I used to be able to map drives from windows 95. I started to copying files from my old machine to to the new and somehow managed to screw up the new machine. -- Thanks, Keith ******************************************************************************** Debian GNU/Linux http://www.naples.net/~nfn11988
