For that matter, ping works without Samba installed. Unless we are talking about something different when we talk about being able to ping another machine.
This is what people normaly mean when they ping another machine: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ping -c2 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.941 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.923 ms --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.923/0.932/0.941/0.009 ms Now, on the machine that you can not see, what happens when you run "service smb status"? You should see something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] usb]# service smb status smbd (pid 20146 20136) is running... nmbd (pid 20147) is running... If smbd if not running, then you can not share any directories on that machine. You may also want to run testparm to check for errors in your samba.conf file.
