Hi All

Trying to get SAMBA up and running, first between a Win ME and a Linux/ME
machine.  Then add my downstairs Linux Box to the set-up.
Having great trouble getting the Windows Machine to see the Linux/ME.

Try this one:

Sometimes it does sometimes it does not.  However I have never been able to
get into The Linux/Share.  (Ironically the Linux machine can get into all

If you've not looked at encrypted vs text password configuration, try this 
one:

Could the fact that the Linux/Win machine have the same ID when booted in
Win as it does when booted into Linux be confusing the other Windows

No. Once you've got it setup correctly, ME will simply erase the shortcuts to 
Network Places that no longer exist. They will re-appear next time.

Machine? (i.e. it has the same IP, workgroup and computer name.  Indeed My
Neighbour Hood network remembers its Windows shares).

And ignores ones that it cannot access.

Now a really dim question, I assume the other Linux machine must have SAMBA
running to see the first machine which also has it running.

No. Linux <-> Linux is best done with non-Samba tools, you gain extra features 
and security because SAMBA converts into Windows permissions - anyone can 
execute everything. It's best to retain the Linux permissions if you can. 
You've got SSH/SCP for shell access or individual files, FTP and NFS. NFS is 
the closest to a 'fileshare' - edit /etc/exports on the host machine and then 
mount the exported filesystem:

on remote system:
/etc/exports
/home 192.168.0.1(ro)

on local system
/etc/fstab
remotename:/home    /mnt/remote     nfs     ro,user,noauto          0       0

I use ro (read-only) because I use NFS to backup user data to CDR but you can 
omit the (ro) and ro, to allow read-write access.

The user,noauto is important because you don't want the share to be mounted at 
boot in case the remote machine isn't running (or is still booting).
