Hi,
I tried to get my win95 machine to talk to my RH 6.0 box using Samba, but
having some problems.
My smb.conf looks like that:
[SAMBA]
comment = Samba Server 400
path = /usr
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = yes
user = david
; ... etc.
It is kind of short without the global, homes and priners section, but that
is all I got after using
Linuxconf to config. Samba.
When I log on to my Linux machine, if I do:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status
It shows that both the smbd and nmbd daemons are running.
After my linux machine is up and running, I logon to my win95 machine with
userid david and go to
Start -> Run, then type \\192.168.1.2, where 192.168.1.2 is my Linux
machine's IP, after a while this
\\192.168.1.2
The network name coulnd't be found
(or something very similiar to that)
error message will pop up. What exactly is this error message all about???
If I tried to http, telnet, ftp or ping my Linux machine with the above IP,
everything worked as expected.
Why is everything works but Samba??? How do I get Samba to work???
I must say that I actually got it to work once a couple weeks ago, ie. I was
able to see my Linux machine from my win95 machine by typing \\192.168.1.2
in the Run box. But after I reinstalled RH 6.0 (with the exact
configuration), this whole thing failed to work.
