I upgraded from RH7.1 to RH7.2 and everything went smoothly. However, after
the upgrade, I can no longer access the samba box from my win98 box. It was
working fine before the upgrade. Now the win98 box returns a message that
says:

 "\\sycamore is not accessible. The computer or share name could not be
found."

Hi all:

I was having problems similar to Jerry's

• RH 7.2 with EXT3
• Win2000 was saying the saying the Box is not accessible
• Although I could ping the box, I could not telnet to it.
  

This was with a windoze machine with two NIC's and I thus purchased a Linksys 4 port �Cable/DSL router and could now surf the net from my RH box and telnet to it. �Apache works from it.� The samba situation got worse however as I can not even see the �machine in network neighborhood now although I can see the work group. �

The router maybe adding complications as I need to have my Linux box �using DHCP, although it is continually at the same local IP address. �

I have tried sample smb.conf and one from work. �Webmin sees all the shares from the smb.conf I copied from work and seems to hint that everything is OK. �

I may triy re-installing

• Fighting with smb.conf for a while longer
  
• Static IP adr, removing DHCP
  
• RH 7.2 but with Ext2,
• Suse 7.3

Sigh!!!!
