Speaking of Samba, I get the icon for the Linux box to show up on my Win2K & Win95 clients but I can't browse the Linux box. And if I restart Windows, I have to restart the services on the Linux box before I can display the network icons again - that sucks. Win95 asks for a password to try to access the Linux box - that fails, of course. I used the procedure for Samba from the techtv.com website. Apparently, it's not that easy to set up Samba. So, what am I doing wrong? BTW, I can ping all 3 machines on my network - can't share files with any of them even though the icons show up on the Windows boxes. And internet connection sharing works OK. No wonder network administrators get the big bucks.
