cI'm New to the list. I've been beating at Samba (the one shipped with redhat 5.2) for days I can get the server to show up in network neighborhood I can ping it. If I wait long enough (few minutes) I can finally get it to respond to both ftp and telnets. it's on a 10base-t cat5 configuration with just the server and the one w95 creating traffic. If I double click the server name in Network Neigh. it hourglasses and sits for about 3 minutes and says "Network Too Busy" If I go to a run box and use either it's IP address or the server name itself (fully qualified) it comes back in the same ammount of time: "An Extended Error has occured." I've read multiple journals, howto's, speed.txt's, mail list archived messages, and made some of their recommended changes all to no avail. If any of you would be so kind as to help me, please just tell me what other info you need and I'll provide it. for fast email responses, email me directly at megashub@yahoo.com, thanks for any help any of you can provide! ==Not All Who Wander, Are Lost. -JRR Tolkien _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Something is likely wrong with IP, and Samba depends on IP. Fix IP first. (It is remotely possible that the two problems are unrelated, but one of the first rules of trouble-shooting is to establish a known good.) I have seen a bad network card cause a situation where ping will work but anything more sophisticated failed; it had to do with packet size. Try something like: ping -l 10000 server (from a Win95 host) ping -s 10000 server (from a Linux host) You might also check for things like reverse DNS, identd, tcp wrappers, and that sort of thing getting in the way. Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Scott <bscott@hamptonsys.com> Phone: (603)431-7315 Hampton Systems Group, Inc.
