Hello, I have installed samba in a Linux RedHat 8.0 PC in my lab as a file server. The clients of samba are PCs with MS Windows98. Now I meet some problems, I can see samba server name in Network Neighborhood, but when I click the icon, I get this error message after a long delay: Cannot link to Linuxserver(server name). And I used Ethereal to track the packets to find the problem, I found that there were errors like "ICMP: Destination Unreachable" when packets came from server to client. The same problem occured when I used FTP from client to check the TCP. Ping is ok(I can ping form server to client and client to server), so I don't understand this problem, thank you for your helps and advices. ---------------------------- WANG BO Institute of Mobile Communication Southwest Jiaotong University China ------------------------------ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hello, I realize this might not be the most appropriate group to mention this, but, I thought I would start here. I've noticed that web pages (actually ASP pages) served by Microsoft web servers (i.e, www.microsoft.com), will not generate the same size font or text spacing for non-Internet Explorer web browsers. If you go to www.microsoft.com with Netscape, the font size is small and hard to read. Yet, if you go to the same web site with Internet Explorer, the web site renders with larger, easier to read text. I realize each browser has its own characteristics, however, I think this is being done on purpose to move people off of Netscape and on to Internet Explorer (and Microsoft products such as IIS). I would like to know if any others have seen this issue ? Is this another attempt at Microsoft to thwart competition by making their web servers generate different fonts, etc for non-Microsoft browsers ? Or am I missing something completely with Netscape ?

Or am I missing something completely with Netscape ?Use Phoenix and install the quick prefs toolbar. Now change to MSIE 6.0 emulation on the fly when you want to browse through MS website.

Have you gotten any responses? This sounds like a network issue, not a samba issue. As an amateur, I track these problems down by: 1. Looking at the output of tcpdump. 2. Looking at arp -n. 3. Looking into misconfigured DNS. 4. Putting the server into lmhosts or hosts. 5. Looking at route -n.
