Re: [SLUG] SAMBA - Solution!

[dan]

Hi,   Thanks to the list for helping me sort out samba.   Just in case anyone else has problems I found the following document really useful (thanks to someones suggestion)   DIAGNOSIS.txt   The problems was my Windows TCP/IP settings.  In the advances options in the TCP/IP properties under the WINS tab I enabled NETBIOS over TCP/IP and added the ip address of my Linux box to the Wins address list and it all works.   Cheers.   Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: Lindsay Holmwood To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 5:34 PM Subject: RE: [SLUG] SAMBA Greetings, When you specify "<linuxbox>" in the net use command, are you specifying a netbios name, or an IP address? I temporarily used your configuration on my samba server, and when I tried to connect to it from windows 2k by specifying the netbios name, windows simply refused to acknowlege that the linux box existed. I then specified the ip address in the net use command, and it worked perfectly. I think that this may be the answer to your problem! All the best, Lindsay
