Let's see if i can be of "some" help, since i have the same setup like you. When W2k asks for a name and password, although i can't see what you setup ofcourse, try using "nobody" as username, and no password. I recall that worked for me the first time... (once I have webmin running again, after someone tells me how to turn off or modify tinyfirewalls settings
, I'll let you know)
I really don't have a clue why you get a connection broken message, though. Webmin should work straight away after installation, and sharing enabled. ( btw, pinging has nothing to do with swat or samba
) If it can't see you host at all, your browser should simply display, cannot find page, or something simular.
Are you sure you're not using anymore firewalls on either pc? Yes, you can run webmin on another port, but unless a firewall is blocking this specific port, i wouldn't see a reason to change it.
It works (used to work
) on my pc's.
Let me know what you find?!
