I have been setting up 9.2 and it has been going pretty well but I am
having a Samba problem. I can access the linux box from all of my other

My problem is with accessing some of the other machines from linux. I have
lisa running. It will find all the machines.
pwpatter (itself) hp (laptop with xp) jp (w2k and my gateway) shop
(w99se/lm9.2).
I can browse pwpatter,hp, and shop running lm9.2.
jp and shop running w98 get a message unknown host
from shop I can access jp with lisa.
I have checked and rechecked passwords in linux and samba. I can ping by
name and number. I have logged in on both machines with the user and
password that works on hp. What am I missing??
In your samba config file /etc/samba/smb.conf find the setting
wins server
set it to yes and restart samba
(service smb restart in a root terminal)
