Hi all,

I came home today and found I could not access the my home network server:

RH9
with a Webmin interface.

The machine was down and I rebooted. I'm not sure what else I need to post (not having much more than a basic grasp of all this).

I've looked at the settings in Webmin and nothing appears awry. My Linux machines have no problem accessing. I can ping the machine from M$ but... nothing else. Neither of my W machines (one is a laptop that was only turned on to check this out) can access the server (so it's not the one M$ machine).

I thought that 'samba status' as root should show me what is going on, but I get:

-bash: samba: command not found

The server is behind a Smoothwall firewall and I do not access it from outside the home network.

As there's nothing that I need to keep, I can reinstall - in fact what I've been trying to achieve is a 'drag and drop' for the machines that access it - but I'm not sure of how to achieve this. I can use Webmin to load files on to the server and I COULD read and copy using Network N'hood (for W) and Lin N'hood, but wanted a d and d access.

Any help appreciated - and sites that provide a dumb and dumber description of how to achieve what I want if it's easier than I've made it for myself.

Thanks all.

Patrick
