Well, I told you already about the workgroup DAARO, which refused to show
up... I got some suggestions, and, indeed, there it was! I could even log in
to it.
And then, next morning, I started up my test network, ... no DAARO. However,
after a restart of samba (/etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart) it appeared again.
Without any changes in teh config. However, although I saw DAARO, clicking on
it gave me an error message (something like "device does not exist" in
Dutch). On the other hand, after restarting samba again, still without any
changes, I could suddenly log in to the domain.
Well, this is not the clear relation between cause and effect which I prefer.
Of course it is unavoidable once you get involved in a Microsoft mess... .
I think it is time to become somewhat more fundamental(ist). I mean, if I ever
want to find out what's going on, I will probably have to understand what
these lousy sloppy Microsoft protocols really do. And of course, being closed
source, this won't be trivial.
Can anyone point out some documents that give information on the internals of
MS networking protocols? I think there are some around, but I haven't located
them yet...
I think you said you were using Windows 98, correct? IIRC (from my
childhood hacking) Windows 98 takes up to 15 minutes to 'see' the
network. I think it was a problem with netbui. To test this theory,
you could try explicitly putting DAARO in the machines LMHOSTS file.
