I have been practically pulling my hair out trying to figure out my problem. Here is what it is: Basically, Samba will not work no matter what I do. I can see the linux computer under Network Neighborhood in my Win98 machine, but if I try to open it, it tells me that the computer cannot be found. It will not work to ping the linux machine from my windows machine or vice versa. Basically the only thing that works is that I see the computer name under network neighborhood. I have run testparm, and done smbclient -L localhost and everything seems to be working properly on the linux box. I really need to figure out the problem, somebody PLEASE help me.
