Any Linux<->Windows networking experts out there?
3 machines on the 100 network, an XP-Pro, a 98SE and a Suse Linux 8.0 - theWinboxes communicate fine and the 98SE has the shared (ICS) 56K modem (no broadband out here). All TCP/IP using DHCP from the Winboxes and everone can ping each other. The XP and Opera on the Linux box get onto the Internet via the 98 just fine. Samba seems to be working OK on the Linbox 'cos I can mount the Winboxes drives and see 'em no problem, but how do I get them to see the Linux box? SWAT won't work because of some darn port conflict that I can't resolve so presumably I have to get my smb.conf file right by myself. I've added/changed what I think should work, but no joy. I've read I don't know how many HOWTOs & I'm getting confused now as it should be fairly simple.
Any ideas anyone?
