I'll recommend you to read one of the many tutorials on samba laying around on the Internet or on your own /usr/share/doc. Here are something to try for: 1. Are your samba daemons running? Try: 'ps aux |grep "[sn]mbd"' 2. If not, start them: '/etc/init.d/smb start' 3. Connect locally: 'smbclient -L //localhost' Do you get a list of resources, i.e. one resource: WWW? 4. Connect to BOXES: 'smbclient -L //BOXES' 5. Is BOXES a DNS name? If not, you need a wins server or a wins mapping file (/etc/lmhosts). Either insert BOXES into this file or edit smb.conf with the line 'wins server = <ip address>' where you replace <ip address> with the address of your wins server. -- Jon Haugsand, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.norges-bank.no -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
