lets
start with the basics...
if you
do a "service samba status" whats it say?
In the below lines in
/etc/samba/smb.conf
[GLOBAL]
workgroup = MYWORKGROUP
match
the workgroup of your winblows machine?
you
might also check "encrypt passwords = yes"
is
set, it might help your win2000 problem.
do you
have a firewall blocking ports 135-139????
just
some stuff to start with.

Hi, my name is Seraph.
I've been watching the list for
almost a week now, and I've been attempting to search for docs. So I could try
to find some sort of info to answer what seems like it should be a simple
question...
Now for the
scenario:
I am running Mandrake 8.2 (My
first real run at Linux... I tried redhat for about 2 days and couldn�t stand
it, but knew I wanted something other than Winblows as a
workstation/server, only for the time being till I get more proficient
with it. It's sitting behind my trendnet router along w/ the rest of my
network. I have been able to fumble my way though so that it now is able to
see the Internet, and see the rest of my network. I am however, unseen by my
windows network. I can get into the win 98 machine and browse it like I was
right there, and even alter files... I can see my win 2k server, but cannot
log into it (separate issue). I am completely invisible to the win
boxes though.
I have tried configuring and
reconfiguring netconf, I choose Winbrowsing and can see them... but they can't
see me. I have checked smb://my_winbox_ip and can get in that way also, so I
know Samba is running. I have gone through and setup my workgroup, and
even have found where to log into the workgroup. So, now I know that I'm not
just spying on the workgroup, but have actually taken steps to try to join it.
I am stumped as to why I am invisible. I would be proud if that was my intent,
but I actually
want quite the opposite in this instance.
Any help, and/or questions to the
effect of... well you didn't mention anything about this. Did you check there?
Would be highly helpful. The more pointed out, the more I know to look at and
for. I just ask that along with the question, perhaps some sort of idea of
how/what to and not to actually configure would also be nice. Or even a
source for instructions. I am not fluent w/ the man pages by any stretch of
the imagination.
Thanks in
advance,
Seraph
