Hey folks, I reinstalled Linux and I'm trying to fire up Samba. I have this strange problem where the only computers that can access my box are those running Win NT (or Win 2000 professional ed.), but not Win 98. The error log for the Win 98 machines sez: [2000/11/18 20:28:33, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(540) write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2000/11/18 20:28:33, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(566) write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 6: ERRNO = Broken pipe [2000/11/18 20:28:33, 0] lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(754) Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. Exiting I know my smb.conf file is fine, cus it's the one I used before I reinstalled. Any idea why this is? Thanks, -Dylan
Check DNS entries (forward and reverse) for clients.
