I can't see the box in the Network Neighborhood. Is there something I'm
missing? I'll try mapping to the IP address.
Thanks

resolution doesn't always work well.
For example I map drive R to \\165.248.31.123\public
It may also be the kind of security setup on the Samba server.
Google shows...

Is anyone running Samba on a Linux machine, and trying to access a

from Windows 2000? I have been working with this for 2 days, and I
got
SWAT to work just fine, and I can see the Linux machine in Network
Neighborhood, but when I double click the machine to get to the share
level, I get a message that the network path is invalid. I also tried
this on an NT 4.0 machine and I get the same results. If you have had
the same problem, please let me know!
I have samba set up on various systems being accessed from every
version of Windows from 95 on up. Everything works great.
If you want user-level security, you will need to enable password
encryption on the samba side *or* hack the registry on every Windows
box. (Find the file ENCRYPTION.txt in the samba docs for more
informatin.)
If you don't care about security (if the shares on a box are going to
be wide open), then it might be simpler to just set samba for
share-level security.
I've also found that it often makes life easier to force the samba box
to be the master browser by setting "local master = yes", "os level =
33" (or some higher number), and "preferred master = yes". (Set all
that, then restart samba.) If you can see the box in the Network
Neighborhood browse list, this *probably* isn't a problem.
Good luck.

Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting a Win 2000 desktop to map a network drive
(Linux share). I can do it in Win 98SE and Win NT. What's different in
Win
2000?
