samba - Mar 2001 - Fw: Can't see samba server

Greetings again, all!

Just in case it's useful,  here is my smb.conf file (it's very simple
right
now, as it is only for testing pusposes.  Once I get it working right, then
it'll be filled in!)

<-----START----->
[global]
        workgroup = HOME
        encrypt passwords = yes
        netbios name = TAMIRA

[homes]
        comment = Home Directory
        path = /home/
        read-only = no
        guest ok = yes
<-----END----->

The workgroup name on the Win98 VM *is* HOME.  TAMIRA is the name of the
Samba server.  Once again, thanx, in advance.

Yes, smb is indeed running.  My version of Linux is Red Hat 6.1, with the
stock kernel (I haven't upgraded it yet, so it's 2.2.12-20, I believe)

loaded the services ok, but gave me a "dump" of a bunce of stuff I
mostly
don't have in my smb.conf file?  Is that correct??

smbd -D
grep smb
> $ ps aux | grep nmb ---------- the same thing as above
nmbd -D

hmmm, still can't see TAMIRA in the Network Neighbourhood, but I can still
map a network drive to the share on TAMIRA (TAMIRA = linux Samaba server)

Are you sure that your samba server is running . Other thing what version of
linux are you using. try doing this command and see it theres anything wrong
with it.

$testparm -----------that will test out your server also try this
$ ps aux | grep smb ----------that will tell you if your have your child
running
$ ps aux | grep nmb ---------- the same thing as above

make sure that both of them are running if not start them up
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ smb start
 give it a few mintues to show up in your windows machine. if you have more
problems let me know ok
