I pasted my smb.conf file to the end of this message. I bought the SAMBA
Black Book but I still have made no progress.
Samba is running on Red Hat Linux Box. I can run swat from my other
machines. The Linux box has Windows 98 in the first partition and I can
network from my other Windows machines to the box so I know the network is
running. Of course I can only run either Linux or Win98 at one time.
My other Win98 boxes are not normally because the are actually Macintoshes
running a product call Virtual PC. Virtual PC can run most operationing
systems including Linux, Windows NT, Dos and Windows 98. I mention this
because maybe it is still complicating the problem though I do'nt think it
should.
I could find no reference to the IPC$ message in the Samba Black Book.
I hope the smb.conf will clue you in. Actually all I would like to do is
getting anything to work first.
Thanks
