Hello, I have been running Samba without problems for several years now. Recently I added another machine to our network and installed RH 7.2 and the Samba that came with the distributon ( v 2.2.1a). Using my past experience, I configured the machine. Using a W95 client, I can see the server but I cannot access the shares on it. I began the diagnosis procedure on your web site and would like to pass on a few differences between the instructions given and the reponses I got from my new machine. Step two: entering the command results in the server asking for a password as in test 7. My setup failed at test 8. When running "net view \\BIGSERVER" I received the following error message: Error 59: An unexpected error has occured. Quit all running programs, restart your computer, and then try again. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator. I tried entering another wins server in the advanced TCP/IP section but that did not solve the problem. I have another machine (RH 7.1) running on the same network without a problem. I also have a commercial version of Samba running on the network (Facetwin). On the problem machine, I have noticed that no user log files are being created when I attempt to browse the shares as they are on the other machines. Can you give me any help?
