win95 machine unable to show linux machine in network neighborhood
dear Sir, i am running red hat 6.2 on one machine and windows 95 on another but i am unable to see the linux machine in my windows pcs network neighborhood.to check my samba server i tried the tests given in DIAGNOSIS.txt.I am able to run tests 1 to 4 without error but in test 5 which says ::: "test 5 : run the command "nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*'" You Should Get The PCs IP Address Back.If you don't then the client software on the PC is not installed correctly,or is not started ,or you got the name of the pc wrong. if ACLIENT doesnot resolve via dns then use the ip address of the client in the above test." sir i tried the test giving my pcs name then the reply was "querying * on 0.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 *<00>" and when iused the ip address of the machine i got "querying * on ip addr here name_query failed to find name" what can be the problem?please reply as soon as possible. help will be greatly appreciated Thank you Regards Silky __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
