I have two PCs, one on Linux Redhat 8.0 (say LinPC) and the other one on
Win2k Professional (WinPC). I have Samba installed on the LinPC. However,
the LinPC can see the WinPC but the WinPC cannot see the LinPC. I tested a
few things on the LinPC and the results follow:
1. ifconfig reports:
inet addr: 192.168.0.1 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mast:255.255.255.0
2. I can ping by IP address (192.168.0.1) or by name (LinPC) without
problem. Likewise for the WinPC.
3. nmblookup -B 192.168.0.1 LinPC
Result:
query LinPC on 192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1 LinPC <00>
4. nmblookup -B 192.168.0.255 WinPC
Result:
query WinPC on 192.168.0.2
192.168.0.2 WinPC <00>
5. nmblookup -B 192.168.0.255 LinPC
Result:
query LinPC on 192.168.0.1
name-query failed to find name LinPC
The #1 - #4 works but #5 does not, I guess this is the reason my WinPC
cannot see the LinPC over the network. Can someone tell me how to fix this
strange problem?
Thanks in advance
Sangeant
