Not sure why you are having problems, but your posting does suggest a few
things:
1. basement and Basement aren't the same hostname; capitalization matters.
Which name is actually in /etc/hosts (or the named files if you're running
BIND)?
2. Your ifconfig line doesn't specify a broadcast address. Try:
ifconfig eth0 204.180.205.31 broadcast 204.180.205.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
3. To use the LAN connection, you also need a route line, something like:
route add -net 204.180.205.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
4. See if you can telnet from teh Win95 machine to the Linux server Try it
both by name and by actual IP address. . This will let you see if the
problem is at the Samba level,the IP level, or the name-address-translation
level.
I don't know the Win side of this stuff, so you may also have problems with
the Win95 configuration.
