Hi, I'm trying to network Red Hat 6.2 and NT Workstation 4. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I have Samba installed on the Red Hat machine, and I'm trying to get my settings correct so that I can see the Red Hat computer from the NT machine, first of all. I can't see anything in Network Neighborhood, don't get any errors, and I'm not able to map the network drive. I'm pretty new to Linux, so I need a little hand-holding I guess. It's humbling! I've got the O'Reilly book, Using Samba, and I've following the instructions to network with NT, step by step. No results so far, except a lot of frustration! This is only for my little office network. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks, Susan

If you need more details: Try the fault tree in http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch09_01.html or better: buy the book :-) Regards, Robert -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Robert.Dahlem@gmx.net Fax +49-69-432647 --------------------------------------------------------------- Sent using PMMail (http://www.pmmail2000.com) - fast, decent, email software; far better than Outlook.

If you look closely you will see some references to samba version 2.1 in the discussions in ch. 5. As you might know, latest samba version is 2.0.7 and looks like staying there for the time being. So get the 2.0.7 samba first, it should be on Red Hat's upgrade's page. For instructions on how to make your NT WS use samba as PDC. take a look at this url: http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-05/lw-05-thereandback_p.html You might also try this one: http://bioserve.biochem.latrobe.edu.au/samba/ which deals with the issue as well. It is possible to do it, so don't lose heart! Best regards Ragnar Wisl?ff
