AFAIK Trumpet Winsock only provides what it says: A winsock api. This
is not enough to redirect NetBIOS file system calls to TCP/IP. You
need the files from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/Clients/WFW/

Hi all!

Here is my problem: I have installed RedHat Linux version 6.0 on a
computer and I want to share its resources via samba. Unfortunately, my
computer - which is running WfWg 3.11 for Eastern Europe and the trumpet
winsock TCP/IP stack is not able to see the samba server. Other
computers, running Win95, Linux and WfWg with M$ TCP/IP stack perform
OK.

I have tried the following combinations:
- samba-2.0.3 from the RH distribution and samba-2.0.4 from
contrib.redhat.com, on the Linux box
- trumpet version 2 and version 3.0d on the Windows machine
I also tried to tweak the smb.conf file but I had no success. Now, I
know that one solution would be to replace trumpet; however M$ stack
seems to break all other clients on the computer (including CuteFtp &
Netscape which work just fine with trumpet).


So: what am I doing wrong? Could anyone please help ?

Pls cc: your answer to my personal address, I'm not subscribed to the
list.

It's been a *long* time since I used Trumpet (sure you can't just 
bail WfWG?) but if I recall, the Trumpet stack only supports the 
winsock.dll for dialup connections by default.  According to the 
readme, you can use it for TCP/IP over a LAN, but you need to load 
the NIC packet drivers.  You may have to download the old Crynwr 
packet driver package; I'm not sure if it comes with the Trumpet 
winsock package or not.  Good Luck.
