Ok, I was messing around with it a bit and now everything works basically. EXCEPT: I can see the linux computer on the Windows 98 machine under Network Neighbourhood but when I try and click on it it tells me that the computer/sharename doesn't exist. I've refreshed the Network Neighbourhood list and it is definitely not there. I even tried removing the Test share just leaving the other one but it did not change anything. Any Ideas?
