Hi all,

Ok, now that the dual boot nightmare is over, I have a question about 
setting up a Samba server.  I have already installed Samba, I can start it 
using /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start ("service smb start" doesn't seem to work, 
not sure why)and I can sign on with a samba client on my own 
workstation.  However, when I go to my Win98 box and check the Network 
Neighborhood, I can see both the Win98 computer and one called Localhost 
(the Linux box...I haven't changed the domain name on it), so it looks like 
the Win98 box is seeing it, right?  Except when I attempt to map a network 
drive to it or double click on the Localhost icon, it tells me the computer 
or sharename could not be found.  So...it sees it, but it doesn't see it.

Now, I have made sure the inetd.conf file has netbios set up for port 139 
for tcp and port 137 for udp.  I have also set up the workgroup in the 
smb.conf file and set up the allowed hosts from the dhcp list on my 
router.  What am I doing wrong?  I know I have to be missing something, but 
it eludes me.

Also, I'd like to have the Samba server start on startup.  What would I add 
to make it do so?  Would that be an entry in the initrd.conf file?

Thanks,
Wayne
