Hi, Last week I build a minimum net work. On a swich there is a firewall, a win98SE-box and a linux box as samba-server. Ping to each o these machines are going well. The Win-box 'sees' the filestructure of the linux-box. At the other hand the linux box can see neither localhost, the linuxbox or the win-box. I didn't configure winbind and LDAP. On all machines hosts and lmhosts are set. What could be wrong?
