Hi, I still can't start Samba. I just compiled Samba 2.2.2 to upgrade from 2.2.1a. I'm going through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file. So far, I can run testparm without errors, ping the Linux Samba server from Windows machines and vice versa. But then I'm stuck at smbclient. 'smbclient -L localhost'

Try 'netsat', I think the -p option lets you see the process that is using the port. For quick check, you can just telnet 127.0.0.1 139 to see if some process is listening on that port. --- Hidong Kim [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, How do I check if something's running on port 139 of my

Not only the site, but the fact that once a company/site is mentioned in a www.slashdot.org article, the company's site tends to get overrun with web requests, causing the site to be virtually unreachable. That is that being slashdotted is all about. G On Mon, 21 Jan 2002, Brad Bonkoski

Of course, if the process on that port is running udp instead of tcp, telnet won't do anything. The best bet is to get a port scanner, like nmap, and run that against the machine in question. On Mon, 21 Jan 2002, nit etc wrote: Try 'netsat', I think the -p option lets you see the process
