Cheers Brian. I did reboot Win98, and my Redhat shares came back. I rebooted to Mandrake, rebooted Win98, but no luck.
I suspect I may have a network configuration error. When I run smbclient on the Mandrake box thus:- smbclient //anoka/distro -U julian I get "can't determine network mask for 10.0.0." WARNING: no network interfaceees found" However, the LAN is working fine, and also smbclient runs fiine and gives me the local share I wanted. It's only logging in from Win98 that doesn't work - I can't see any shares. Any clues?
