hello everyone, for a couple of days now and i have a 2nd slackware 10.2 pc in my home network. i carried out the same steps to enable me to access my home folders on this slackbox too as i did for the oter pc. basically i did the absolutely minimum: -renamed the smb.conf-sample that came with slack10.2 to smb.conf -changed the 'server name' option to smth unique for this pc -changed the 'host allow' option to see my internal network. -added user nass with smbpasswd. now i can see this new slackbox pc in my internal network (from my winXP network places) but not the other one! if i remove the new pc from the network then i can see the old one again! any ideas? thank you in advance for your help nass
