[Samba] Command tests work but can't browse the network
I am a Samba newbie who has just set up a Samba server running under Fedora Core 3 and a client running under Win 98. Any attempt to see the network from "Network Neighborhood" or from "Windows Explorer" fails with the error box: Unable to browse the network . The network is not accessible For more information ... I have run all the tests in the HOWTO section: .../Samba-HOWTO-Collection/diagnosis.html up to and including the last two: C:\WINDOWS>net use x: \\claremont\TMP on the client, which does, in fact make the device x: on my client equivalent to /tmp on my server, and $ nmblookup -M MYGROUP querying MYGROUP on 192.168.255.255 192.168.1.35 MYGROUP<1d> on the server, which looks OK. Nevertheless (to repeat) attempts to browse the network from "Network Neighborhood" or from "Windows Explorer" all fail. Is my installation of Win 98 broken? Should I reinstall? What's going on? -- Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh@pacbell.net> Berkeley Linux Team
