Hi Mark,
I was wondering...are you using NT? That error is most often "caught" when
trying to connect to NT. I'm not too sure about Win98, though. For more info, in
your Mandrake drive, go to /usr/doc/samba-1.9.18p10/docs/
(or higher if you downloaded the latest rpm. There is a bunch of stuff there you
really want to read up. Esp. WinNT.txt and Win95.txt.
It's nothing wrong with Linux or SAMBA installation.
Regards,
