Hey, Anne,
Thanks for being the first to jump into my problem. :-)
I think that the bulk of my problem is not understanding how to configure
the Samba client. The 'smb.conf' file, as far as the server is concerned,
seems pretty straight-forward to me. So, how does the client mount the
shares? How did you configure your MDK client? Or was your server also the
client (the only Linux machine in the house?)
I will look over your smb.conf and try a few changes that make some sense.
Thanks,
T
P.S. Thanksgiving was a a great change of pace! More of that....later. ;-)

Hi, Techno,
OK - you gave me the kick I needed to get my network running again - I had
it
fine under 8.2, so it wasn't a big job.
I had a lot of problems similar to yours when I first set up, and got a lot
of
help. The main lesson appears to be 'kiss'. I would try a simpler setup
first, then when that is working you can assess whether you need anything
more. I've confirmed that the win98 boxes can see my shared directories and
also reach their own home directory. I can't confirm the w2k box until
nigel
is back from holiday.
Here's my smb.conf
[global]

print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r
# using client side printer drivers.
; print command = lpr-cups -P %p %s # using cups own drivers (use generic
# PostScript on clients).
# The following two commands are the samba defaults for printing=cups
# change them only if you need different options:
; lpq command = lpq -P %p
; lprm command = cancel %p-%j
[print$]

[Anne_Public]

# guest ok = yes
[MP3]
