OK this is weird to me. I have 3 linux machines running samba (Redhat 6.0, Slackware 4.0, and SuSE 6.1) and two windoze 98 machines, one with SE. Each windoze machine sees 4 computers in Network Neighborhood - one of the 4 is itself. they do not see the same machines! the 98 machine @ 192.138.1.2 sees 192.168.1.1-4 and the 98 machine @ 192.168.1.3 sees 192.168.1.2-5. I seem to remember reading somewhere there is a problem with windoze and samba shares showing up, but I cannot find that reference. I can access all shares thru DOS and if I mount a share I can browse it with Explorer. I'm very confused about this Thanks in advance Robert
