argh! have successfully configured samba server such that in the network neighbourhood of a win98 pc, i can finally see the hostname of the samba pc.
double-click: and it says //[hostname] is not accessible. the specified computer did not receive your request. try again later. [hostname] contains the netbios name as specified in smb.conf of the linux pc. 1) username and passwd added to linux box. 2) username and passwd passed on to smbpasswd 3) encrypted password on in samba. 4) win98 windows logon (right after boot) uses *same* username and passwd. for good measure, the 'identification' of the pc is also the same username. 5) the work group is identical for both pcs. 6) iptables ipchains, default firewalls (lokkit, network security, etc) are all disabled. 7) the linux samba server does show up in the network neighbourhood, which means they can see each other. 8) once, using smbclient, did successfully log on to the win98 pc and mount its shared folders to the linux pc. 9) googled extensively. 10) the shares under samba are set up correctly. (i.e., there is a sub-directory all ready to be shared with the win box). what's going on? ??
