Now sit down for this <G>  #2(Win98) is peer to peered to the 
Win95 drive on #1  ( works fine )

The Win98 & Linux can ping etc each other.  
I have installed FTP server & anon FTP on Linux box.  I am able to 
log on from Win98 both as anonymous and as registered user 
w/password.  I have done this with both windows internal ftp & with 
Cute FTP.   I have successfully transferred (win98 -> Linux) and 
read files in both using the above configuration.  Oh, and telnet 
works Win98 -> Linux

I have installed Samba 2.0 etc(feb99) and smbd & nmpd both load 
on boot.   When I run testparm I get the following: 

[root@Monte] /etc # testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/smb.conf
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host Monte.Linux
Failed to get my hostname.

I would like to enable Samba for full useage of file & printer sharing

in both directions.
