Again, apologies for posting to this group, rather than a Win95 group, but
I think the current problem is related.

Thanks to the help resulting from my initial cry I managed to bumble and
stumble to a restoration of Igor. Unfortunately, I no longer can get from
either machine to the other via my LAN. I'm sure that the solution will be
a red-faced forehead slapper, but I'm at a loss for whatever it may be.
The setup is:
10.0.0.1 Igor
10.0.0.2 AbNormal
Symptoms:
In Win95 AbNormal tells me that it is unable to browse the network, the
network is not assessable. When AbNormal is running in Linux, the
preferred OS for him, I can no longer access Igor via smbclient or smbmount
(both of which used to work). The error message is probably not
smb-filesystem.
Igor can see AbNormal in MS Explorer, but when I attempt to access a
directory I get the message: cannot access. The computer or share name
cannot be found.
Thanks in advance
