I have set up a linux box (SuSE 6.0) in my cellar and connected it to my
win98 pc upstairs. After getting some idea of how the thing is set up and
where setup files are and so on I managed to get the two connected using
TCP/IP and Samba.
I then connected to the Linux printer using this route and to a couple of
directories on the Linux machine.
Generally all goes well, but sometimes after rebooting one or other of the
machines for any reason I lose access to the local network from the win98
machine. Logging off and on doesn't help. I CAN however ping from a to b & b
to a quite happily. Also I can use telnet to sign onto the Linux machine
from win98.
Can any body suggest a solution or even a possible reason for this problem?
On a secondary basis, if any body has set up an IP connection on a Linux box
and then used it through a networked Win98 machine then could you please
drop me a line.
