Gday,
I tried really hard to digest your info, but it led to confusion. :)
1) do you have a route between the school LAN and your PC,
can you ping machines on the LAN and can machines there ping you ?
can linuxserver (orion) ping and be pinged from both networks ?
2) WINs, is there a wins server on the school LAN,(eg an NT server with wins
running)?
if so then linuxserver (orion) shouldnt also be one, rather make
linuxserver
a wins client. two wins servers is a problem for browsing.
if your using wins you wont need lmhosts, (but it might be easier
for testing)
3) assuming point1 above is ok, can you see shares on the school LAN with
your PC ?
eg, from a dos prompt try "net view \\machinename for a machine
name on the
school LAN if you get error 53 put an entry in your lmhosts for
the machine and
disable wins in net properties then try again, 53 is a name
resolution problem. fix wins.
do the same for the linuxserver, (samba is working isnt it ?
,although you dont need it to
access the school LAN from your pc)
4) If there is an NT server you will have log into the domain before you can
browse.
5) Be aware that browsing(network neighbourhood) can take 15 mins to update
Have fun,
John Rogers

2 entrys for the same name ? your windows machine will use the first name
found.

This is only part of the file ! this makes your linux server(orion ?) the
wins server
if a wins server exists on the schools network,make orion a wins client
(disable support and proxy enablewins server= entry.

one of these will have to be linuxserver (orion) or do you have a NT server
lurking somewhere ? 192.168.2.1 now im confused :\

so can you ping by name ?, what about resolving with wins,?
