When I did a=20 complete restore of my Win98 box from tape, I could no longer access the Solaris=20 8 server via network neighbourhood. I can see the Solaris/samba=20 box there with the other Win98 and linux box but when I double click on the=20 Solaris box I get <A=20 href=3D"file://\\Sunbox is not accessible.
