Hello Sanjay,
First of all thanks a lot for the hand holding. I really apreciate
it. But shortly after I send the mail, I had a second look at where
I could have gone wrong and I did the following :
Since win98 does not use encrypted passwords, I commented that portion
off in my smb.conf file. Then while executing smbclient, I did the
following :
# smbclient //dreams/c/ (Instead of //dreams/c:/ ie no colon after
"c")
And I was able to access the share on dreams machine.
Now I have a small doubt. ie is it possible to see those files in
koncourer (kde file explorer) ? I tried typing "smb://dreams/c/" and a
message box popped up asking for username and password and I gave it. But
then nothing happened. Do you have any ideas about how to see that? I
would also like to access a directory (say /home/guest/temp) from my
linux machine in my dreams machine through the network neighbourhood. I
have yet to figure that out.
thanks again
Ravi.
