That's a tough one. There is a lot to learn. smbclient has nothing really
to do with the samba server. You need to make sure that smbd and nmbd are
both running. Also, there are a lot of settings in the smb.conf file that
you may have to tweak. Here are some extracts from mine (adapted slightly)
that should get you started:
workgroup = myworkgroup
netbios name = linuxserver
server string = This is the server description in Network Neighborhood
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
security = user
That should be enough to get you up and running. Be sure you are using a
login name for Win95 that exists on the linux box. Start samba (if you did
an RPM install) with
"/etc/init.d/smb start" (no quotes). Then look in your network neighborhood
on the Win95 box and see if you can see it. Until you can see it in the
Network Neighborhood you are not going to be able to attach to it.
Good Luck!

Subject: newbie / Samba quidance
Good day all,
I am a newcomer to Samba and am trying to set it up on my home lan.
and I'm a bit confused!!!
I have Samba partially set on Box-2 [ also have Webmin as well]
phone line<<-Box-1[demand DialUp] 192.168.1.100[eht0]
|
|
|--Box-2[my Samba server]192.168.1.101
|
|--Box-3[Linux-WorkStation] w 'Gnomba' setup
|
|--Box-4[Win-95 Workstation]
I have Samba working 'partially' on Box-2,
i can get into Box-4 [from 2] using 'smbclient Box-3 myusername',
and I cannot enter Box-4 from Box-3.
I cannot enter Box-3 from either Box-2 or Box-4,
when I installed Gnomba on Box-3 I was told that I had to RPM install Samba
first[i did] but it is not set active in 'ntsysv',
i don't quite understand what s/w I need on each machine?
For instance do I need to have Samba set up as a Server on Box-3 as well?
It would be great if someone could help me understand what all is needed on
each machine.
Thanks in advance,
