Running on Mdk 8.2, in a triple boot with W2K and Win98. If I am to progress at all I must be able to work while the rest of the family are on the LAN. That is, 1 W2K m/c and 2 Win98 m/cs. I need to share a FAT32 directory, identified in Linux as /mnt/win_d2/Public, and to make my m/c the gateway for ICS.
I requested Samba and ICS when installing, so I'm fairly sure all necessary services will be installed. I have created users on my Linux partition, giving them the same name and password as they use on the Win m/cs. I have entered Samba passwords. Then, using Micky's PC for testing, I checked to see what was happening. I can see Anne_linux in Network Neighbourhood. Clicking on it shows me my 2 CUPS printer setups and a folder called Homes. Clicking on this asks for a password - and I can go no further. From my Linux screen I can see Micky/Public from Control Centre/Mount Points. 1) What did I do wrong? 2) How should I have entered Micky into the Samba Users Config. file? I just put 'Micky = Micky users', assuming that it had something to do with the groups she belongs to. If it is, do I need to add all the groups? 3) If I try to see Micky/Public under Konq I get 'cannot connect to host localhost'. When I get the other problems sorted out will this disappear, or is it a totally separate problem? TIA Anne
