I've been working on getting my Win2K machines to be able to work with my
linux machine for a while now, and I'm about ready to throw my Windows
pc's out the window! My linux machine is running RedHat 7.2 and Samba
2.2.1a. When I look for my linux box on the network, I can find it. It shows
up fine in Network Neighborhood. However, when I double click on it, it comes
back with this error:
\\Linux is not accessible.
The network path was not found.
Obviously linux is the hostname of the linux box... From my linux box,
smbclient can check all the params fine. It works from that end. Testparm
comes back ok and doesn't give any errors. This is what my smb.conf looks
like. I've kept it simple trying to find this error...
[global]
workgroup = lan
guest account = ftp
status = yes
browseable = yes
security = SHARE
hosts allow = 192.168.
interfaces = 192.168.1.103
[share]
comment = All Files
path = /
public = yes
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = no
writable = yes
I have also done some adjusting to the Win2K machine. I have added the linux
box to lmhosts.sam and hosts files. I have also applied the registry fix to
allow plain text passwords. There is a unix account with the same user name and
password as the account I use on the Win2K machine.
The only variable I havn't removed is my router. I currently am running a
Linksys BEFW11S4. It is a wireless access point, cable/dsl router with a 4-port
switch. Currently I have that setup as the DHCP server and everything else.
Didn't know if that would make a difference, so I thought I would mention
it.
Any help at all is *so* appreciated... I'm about ready to pull my hair out
on this one!

When I look for my linux box on theRH 7.2 installs a software firewall thats blocks the ports needed for samba if you install with the default "medium security", check for ipchains. Stop them to test. Christian> network, I can find it. It shows up fine in Network Neighborhood. > However, when I double click on it, it comes back with this > error: \\Linux is not accessible.
