James sent I'm not exactly sure what you are asking <sorry> but if you want to see network the neighborhood on your ubuntu box and have samba up-n-running and suitable shares mapped then
you must provide a login passwd, typically smbpasswd -a me-or-other secret secret Also choose the same workgroup for all systems eg WORKGROUP, MSHOME TUX etc Then when you access network->all networks->WORKGROUP as me-or-other and secret you have access. You may also specify public shares and have no login requirements typical eg /tmp swat makes this easy for a newby, but don't bother its too hard to make it work on ubuntu! James -- Hi all, Sorry I did not make myself clear. I have several Win98 PCs on a LAN. One is dual-boot running Ubuntu 6.06 as well as Win98. In Ubuntu I can see and access (read/write/execute) all files on all PCs including th Win98 partitions on the Ubuntu PC. (that is I can see and access the whole LAN) All the PCs on the LAN, including the Ubumtu OS, are defined in a workgroup called WORKGROUP On the other PCs (running only Win98) I can see the PC running Ubuntu (it shows up in Network Neighbourhood)but if I try to access the Ubuntu PC from one of the Win98 PCs I get a message on the Win98 PC saying " requires password to "resource \\MAC2\IPC$" " Any further advice?
