Unfortunately the improvement was *very* shortlived. I downloaded a
file for
use elsewhere, started to copy it to FD, it crashed and was unrecoverable.
New start, then. I've re-installed, and have things almost back to where
they were.
Win98 clients can see my shared directories.
[homes] is not working properly:
If I enable File & print Sharing for Windows Networks
Clients can see each other
and the server
and a folder marked \\username
Opening this folder shows an apparently empty folder which
cannot be written
to.
If I remove F & P Sharing etc..
Clients can see each other
and the server
and a folder marked \\username
Attempting to open this folder fails, citing unknown error.
log.nmbd has this message:
[2002/07/27 13:20:42, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(359)
find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name LYDGATE.NET<1b> for the
workgroup LYDGATE.NET.
Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
I presume that I have missed something that is making this fail. Any
pointers, please?
I'm now certain that the slowdowns I have experienced are connected with
the
network problems. When I re-installed everything was a slick as you could
want, but the moment I wrote the smb.conf and hosts files I was back to 20
sec. open times.
