Hi All: I've been mostly lurking for two years now, and have (with your guidance) gotten most everything done in Mandrake that I wanted, but.............
My home network. I have 1 MS ME 586, 1 MS WIN98 586, 2 MS WIN2K 586's, 1 LEXMARK Optra LX+, and 1 MDK 586 all through SMC 7004ABR and DLink routers with another Lexmark Optra LX+ attached and to a Cable internet connection. One 2K is FAT32 and the other is one of each 40 Meg drives. Also assorted printers including and Epson 8000 in there somewhere. Never ever have I had all talking to all. Right now the network printer is not seen by any of the machines although I specifically assigned it to 192.168.2.5. Not a major problem and may be hardware although I see that Komba2 indentifies one of the WIN2K boxes as 192.168.2.5. Anyway I can fix that (Probably) Real Problems: 1. Komba2 displays ?Error returning t:NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED from both WIN2K boxes. 2. With the MDK box, I have not ever had the use of any of the printers that are attached to the other computers or the network, or the one on the parallel port on the router. All except as noted above work fine shared through the Windows boxes. 3. WIN2K boxes say "incorrect passwork or unknown username for :\\Supertux" when I attempt to browse in that direction. Now that I'm about to upgrade (reinstall actually) to 9.0, I would like to do it right the first time and end up with a network that I can expect to wean off of MS this next year. I am assuming that as I added and subtracted from this mess, I named things and assigned passwords long forgotton, but I don't know how to get it all back to reality short of major surgery. (Not an option, please) I do know all the admin passwords 'cause they're all the same. (It's all my stuff, after all.) All comments graciously appreciated. TIA Lee Registered Linux user #223705 Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
