Hi, My home network consists of my Mandrake machine running Samba and three Win98 machines (my wife and children). For some reason, I can't reach the shares on one of the Win98 machines.
Here's all the info I can give - hope someone can help me with this. 1 - All Win98 machines see each other and the Samba shares on my machine. 2 - All machines can ping each other. 3 - As far as I can see, all three Win98 machines are configured the same (TCP and network settings, user names, passwords, etc). But, I must be doing something wrong, because one of the Win98 machines is unreachable from my Linux machine. 4 - Here's /etc/hosts [EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ cat /etc/hosts 10.200.1.3 shoshana.solomon shoshana # Celeron 333 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.0.0.138 alcatel.solomon alcatel # Adsl modem 10.200.1.2 shlomo2.solomon shlomo2 # P133 10.200.1.1 shlomo1.solomon shlomo1 10.200.1.4 kids.solomon kids # p1600 5 - Samba can **see** all the machines: [EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]# smbclient -L shlomo1 added interface ip=10.200.1.1 bcast=10.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[SOLOMON] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.7] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- share_all Disk anyone can share this IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server 2.2.7 on Shlomo1) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba Server 2.2.7 on Shlomo1) 670_usb_shlom Printer Server Comment --------- ------- KIDS Pentium 1600 SHLOMO1 Samba Server 2.2.7 on Shlomo1 SHLOMO2 Pentium 133 40 meg 8 Gig SHOSHANA celron333 Workgroup Master --------- ------- SOLOMON SHLOMO1 6 - Here are 4 examples of what I get when I try to connect.
