Suse 6.1 / Samba 2.0.3 WOES update (samba server does't shoe in network neiborhood/smbmount failers
Hi folks, here is a quick update. 1/ the samba server does not come up in the network neiborhood. However if I use a net shre e: \\linux\shared then that ci\onnection is made. It still does not show(the connected device) in network nieborhood). It does shoew in the file exporer ect.. on the win98 machine , I have reset and chaned the networking drivers , and even changed the machine name and ip address. No changes if I DISABLE file and print sharing on the win98 machine then the samba server shows up.n Why I have no Idea , if I go back and enable it , then the samba server disapears all over agien. talk about fustrating 2/ regarding printing from the samba server , it will only print to the win95 machine . It sees this machine fine. smbclient and smb mount both work. if I redo it in yast to print to the win98 machine , nothing prints. 3/ smbmount fails to access the win98 server (with file and print servixe enabled) I get the following error smbmount //amd/cdrive /cdrom ERROR added interface ip=10.20.30.1 bcast=10.255.255.255 mask=255.0.0.0 cli_open_sockets : unknown host 4/ smbclient -L amd gives error added interface ip=10.20.30.1 bcast=10.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 connection to amd failed smbclinet -l linux (samba server works) smbclient -L quantex (win95 ) works any ideas any one ? like i said this all worked under 6.0/samba 1.9 Thanks Samy
