OK, up to this point I understand your situation. Please post the part of the smb.conf, in which you restricts te visibility of samba. > Under DHCP, at least for Windows 98, there is no any > configuration for this protocol in such a way that now although my > subnetwork is transparent for all SUN and Lynux systems, those Windows > 98 working under DHCP are not able to recognize the Samba server. Here is asomething, I do not understand. Why cannot see the Win98-Clients the Samba-server?
