G'day I have been trying to get a Samba file server started over our local network. We operate on share level access and run both TCP\IP and IPX\SPX through the lan cards in Windoze ME and 95 on the faster and slower machine respectively. I am installing Linux (Red Hat 6.0) on the slower one (a K6 PII-233 w\ 64 M RAM) the LAN card is an HP Lan Plus (or similar) I can access the internet through the network (using Windoze ME as the 'proxy' server (Wingate 2.0) no problems but Samba doesn't work at all. When I say not working at all the service starts but will not permit the windoze ME machine to read the linux drive on the Red Hat machine. I can mount the INTERNAL windoze drive on the windoze 95 machine from itself however. Is it possible to share the contents of the linux drive with the Windoze ME machine? If so any tips how??? or only the mounted windows drive within the linux machine? Also when using linuxconf to try and configure Samba something went pear-shaped and the result is a samba.conf file full of wierd characters and more than 200 errors when i ran testparm over it! Obviously this has some bearing on why Samba isn't working BUT before the config file went down that famous creek Samba wouldn't work Finally could someone post me their samba.conf file via email? I can receive it on the linux machine and replace my stuffed one with it the email address for the above is twoflippers@icqmail.com Any help would be greatly appreciated Cheers David
