Thanks Warren for your reply.
I have 'attached' copies of config files and 'results-output' from smbclient
for your
evaluation. Sorry for the long reply.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

I used your guidelines to rebuild the smb.conf files on both of the linux
boxes and then decided to
change them per the specs below.
I have Samba running on both linux boxes.
1. on the win95 box [vm] I can see the workgroup[mygroup] and I can see the
two linux boxes [fw] and
[files] the Samba Server...
but I cannot log in to either linux box using samba from [vm].
and I can see all three machines from the linux boxes as well but am having
trouble loging in to each
other.
2. I'm not sure I know how to properly log in to these boxes?
3. Do I need to creat a list of users/ vs/ passwords and put it on
files.abc and somehow make it accessible to the others?
4. when I try to access the linux boxes from the win95 box I get a login
window [re: \\files\IPC$ ]
What does this mean ?
and what do I enter ? Nothing works...
5. on the Win95 box...
in Control-Panel/ Network
under 'Identification' I have
Computer Name= vm
workgroup = mygroup
and under Access control I have Checked 'user-leverl'
and I told it to get a list of the users and groups
from 'files.abc' [ but I don't know how to create such a list ? ]

They both show up as running on both boxes [in 'ntsysv']

usernames and paswords are the same for all boxes.
