Hello, I'm using samba 2.05 on slackware 7.0 although this did not start specifically with this version. I've got a windows 98 machine, with some shares on it. Anytime I reboot the 98 machine, which happens often, or, make a change and restart samba I don't see the 98 machine, for a period up to and including ten minutes. I've got only these two machines on my private network, using the private ip range, any ideas? Thanks. Dave. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access! Try it today - there's no risk!
