I upgraded from RH7.1 to RH7.2 and everything went smoothly. However, after the upgrade, I can no longer access the samba box from my win98 box. It was working fine before the upgrade. Now the win98 box returns a message that says: "\\sycamore is not accessible. The computer or share name could not be found." I looked at my smb.conf and it's the same as it was before the upgrade. I can ping the samba box but can't browse from Windows Explorer. Btw, the host name, SYCAMORE, shows up in the Windows' Network Neighborhood browser, but when I double-click it, that's when I get the error message. During the upgrade, I specified a migration from ext2 to ext3. Would that have made a difference? Also (not related to samba, but...), after the upgrade, I can no longer ping past my router (linksys single port), even though my gateway configuration remains as it was before the upgrade. I can ping the gateway with no problem; I just can't ping past it, and as a result, I can't get on the Internet. As with my samba problem listed above, it was working before the upgrade. Also, the win98 box has no problem getting past the router. It is able to ping and get on the Internet with ease. It's just this upgraded 7.2 linux box that's acting weird. TIA, Jerry

This was with a windoze machine with two NIC's and I thus purchased a Linksys 4 port Cable/DSL router and could now surf the net from my RH box and telnet to it. Apache works from it. The samba situation got worse however as I can not even see the machine in network neighborhood now although I can see the work group. The router maybe adding complications as I need to have my Linux box using DHCP, although it is continually at the same local IP address. I have tried sample smb.conf and one from work. Webmin sees all the shares from the smb.conf I copied from work and seems to hint that everything is OK. I may triy re-installing * Fighting with smb.conf for a while longer * Static IP adr, removing DHCP * RH 7.2 but with Ext2, * Suse 7.3 Sigh!!!! -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
