Have you tried to log into the Windows side as user "root" with the same password
you used in LINUX? If you are logged in as root on the LINUX box and also log into
the Windows as root, (that's the default), it should show a good two way
connection. Also, I gather you're in the same workgroup on both sides? The
default name is "WORKGROUP". Do check the Windows "Users" and "Passwords" to
ensure things match. Mr. Gardner brought up something I hadn't thought of yet. My
first try at this showed the LINUX box from Windows 98, but not the reverse.
I'm trying to set up a stable LINUX box to network my systems and it's proving
frustrating. No experience with the OS. Now that I know where I want to go I
still have to get a good feel for what needs to be installed. Soon as I get one
part working I find something else I need.
Well, good luck and let us all know what you did to fix the problem.
