For the benefit of those of us who weren't part of the installfest help session can you provide the following: 1. What type of network cards in the Windows 98 boxes? 2. What is the workgroup set to on Windows and Samba? 3. What parameters are set on the Microsoft Networking Client for Windows? Not being able to connect to samba shares has often been either an authentication thing, (smbpasswd, etc. not set properly) or workgroup naming problem (when trying to browse shares), or setup issue like user level authentication when no domain is specified. -- Jack Ungerleider jack at jacku.com
