Hi, I have asked in the past how to keep my network on my linux box running. Here is what happens: I have samba services on my linux box. After a few days or so, my windows box cannot see my linux box in network neighborhood. So I go into the linux box and try very hard to see what the problem is. I go to SWAT, and try to restart the services for nmb which say that it is not running, nothing happens. So I have found the only way I know to get things going again, I go to linux conf, into the network section. Just rattling around in there is enough to set off this box when I leave linux conf: "the state of the system is not in synch, blah, blah, and so forth... /etc/rc5.d/S10network.probe Executing /etc/rc5.d/S10network.reload" I select the "do it" button. Ok, Now I am getting REAL tired of doing this to get samba back and to be able to see my linux box from the windows box. Is there someone who can send me a file or something that will fix this annoyance?? Like I said before, in SWAT there are buttons for smb and nmb, and I have tried to restart nmb from there but it won't work. The smb button does work though. Also for noting, I have gone to the startup services in drakconf, and the network item is "selected" for auto startup. Also another note of things that bug me: When I go to samba configuration, it always says that I have more than one share and only the first share will be loaded. So I would also like to fix this annoyance, what should I do? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies with ontopic help and assistance, especially if you can help me in gui mode instead of terminal. Susan
