Well, when I type "modprobe ppa", I get:
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
parport: Device or resource busy
And I've got SAMBA installed and configured as a STARTUP SERVICE in
DrakConf->Startup Services. I see it starting when the machine boots. When I'm
in Win2K, I can see my Linux machine (named KAT.LINUX -- shows up in Network
Places->Computers Near Me as "KAT", but when I double-click on KAT, I get an
error box saying, "\\KAT is not accessible. The account is not authorized to
log on from this station."
I tried using SWAT by accessing localhost:901, but it doesn't seem to work on
my Linux box...
Any/all help is appreciated.
