Hi,

I'm trying to set up Samba windows networking share using webmin but I'm note sure what to place in all the entries. If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm running a win98 machine and a red hat linux 8.0 machine. When I first boot up both machines I can see both in network neighborhood but 5 mins later I can only see my win98 machine. Any ideas?

Would the conf. file still be the same if it's not configured by swat?

And any ideas as to why linux pc is listed in NN and then 5 mins later its not?

 

[24giovanni]

Do I need to do anything to the following files: hosts, sysconfig files in etc or lmhosts in samba? If so, what?

Thanks again!!

 

[gotissues68]

you shouldn't need to. lmhosts is just a lookup table of netbios names, hosts, is a DNS table.. and sysconfig ... dunno about that, think thats a SysV deal. :winkgrin: and yea the file would be the same even if it wasn't configured by swat.
