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

6 - Here are 4 examples of what I get when I try to connect. Notice that 
everything is OK except for the last example (6d). So, even though the 
machine called **kids** can see my Linux machine, my Linux machine can see 
but not access **kids**. 


6a -

I looked for info on the error message above, but couldn't find anything. Any 
ideas?


TIA
