Hartwig,
It's not only connections to Samba machines that fail but any machine in
the workgroup (95,NT,Samba,etc). It's also intermittent. This morning, I
was able to connect using the "find computer" option, both by IP and name.
Once connected to a share, it was quick but the connection to the computer
and share was dreadfully slow. Again, it was working beautifully and I've
changed nothing on either end. What could be happening? BTW, I would
never run IE on my box. I'm not an MS fan! If it weren't for a few MS
Windows-only applications that I need, I would never boot anything other
than Linux!
Thanks Hartwig.
