Re: [newbie] Sharing files with windows 9x
Ok, I was messing around with it a bit and now everything works basically. EXCEPT: I can see the linux computer on the Windows 98 machine under Network Neighbourhood but when I try and click on it it tells me that the computer/sharename doesn't exist. I've refreshed the Network Neighbourhood list and it is definitely not there. I even tried removing the Test share just leaving the other one but it did not change anything. Any Ideas?

Luke, Well, looking at the messages, it appears that Samba is starting up just fine, but that for whatever reason SWAT simply is not reporting it correctly. For what it's worth, I never use SWAT myself -- I just edit the smb.conf file in vi, since it's a fairly easy file to deal with. Also, I was talking with one of the sysadmins at my ISP yesterday -- they run mostly Linux there, with some *BSD -- and he said that SWAT is flaky. Unfirtunately, he did not specify in what way, and at the time I did not bother asking for more. Anyway, since the log messages show no errors and in fact Samba appears to be starting just fine, can you see the computer in Network Neighborhood? If not, can you Start Find Computer and then see the computer? If you do see the coimputer, can you access the shared test folder? (Obviously, I will assume that you have created the directory export/samba/test, and given it the appropriate permissions. For testing, 'chmod 777 export/samba/test' should do the trick.)

[newbie] Sharing files with windows 9x
I sent this yesterday but it didn't seem to get through so here it is again: Hi, I'm really new to linux and want to know how to set it up to share files and printers with Windows 9x. (ie: so they can be seen through the network neighbourhood button in windows) and also how I can see other Windows shares on the network through Linux. I am using Linux Mandrake 8 Thanks in Advance Luke [EMAIL PROTECTED]
