I can't get my windows 2000 machine to access my linux machine, I can't ping the computer, or browse it over the network. But I can access my win2k machine from my linux shell. I tried editing my windows lmhosts, and putthing my linux box's IP address in my WINS server, but that didn't seem to work' so what do I do now??

The problem is you CANT ping your linux from your windoze pc, take a look at your network configuration and correct it. It has nothing to do with samba. regards!

Can you ping the IP addy of the Samba machine, or the name or both or neither? If you can ping the IP, but not the name, then your name resolution is wrong. Check over your lmhosts and consider implementing DNS. If you can't ping the IP, then your TCP/IP networking is wrong. Look over the various settings on the W2K box (such as netmask, etc) and make sure everything is correct. Since it seems to work the other way, it's more likely that the W2K box is set up wrong in this case. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services (412) 793-4257
