2) Why don't you set the "master browser" variable for the linux box?
3) Don't know much about winbind, but perhaps you souhld check about using it.
4) Try changing the cable or switch the card on the linux box - one of them may be defective.
good luck! Dotan

I have one LINUX box (shlomo1) and 3 Win98 machines (shlomo2, shoshana, kids)
on my network. They can all ping each other. IP addresses are 10.200.1.1 -
10.200.1.4. Until recently my network worked fine. All machines showed up in
Network Neighborhood on the Win98 machines and in LinNeighborhood on the
LINUX box.
I don't know what has changed. Now, **seemingly at random**, some machines
show up and some don't and this changes for no **apparent** reason. For
instance, a few moments ago, I saw all machines on shlomo2 and then shlomo1
**disappeared**. One thing seems to be constant and that is that in
LinNeighborhood on the LINUX box I see either all the Win98 machines **OR**
only the LINUX box itself (shlomo1).
After playing around with smb.conf on my LINUX box and various settings on the
Win98 machines on my network, I'm stumped. I do have one suspicion (but I'm
not sure this is the problem). I think there may be a problem with more than
one machine trying to be MASTER on the network.
I'm including smb.conf and a output of some smbclient commnads that may be of
interest (notice that both solomon1 and kids appear as MASTER).
I'll be glad to send any other info needed to solve this.
TIA
