PROBLEMS NETWORKIN from WINDOWS to MANDRAKE 9.2
 

Hello everybody !

I'm a new LINUX MANDRAKE 9.2 user and a got a big problem.

I see all the WINDOWS machines from my LINUX PC and I can read and write the files in WIN machines from my LINUX PC.

The problem is that I can't browse the LINUX PC from the WINDOWS PCs. The WIN NT 4.0 machines shows me the "Entrer the network password" window. When I try to connect all the ways are wrong.

Another problem is that I can't browse the samba url (localhost:901) with Konqueror.

Can you help me ?

:)

I have the reverse problem.....I can't seem to figure out how to browse our Windows NT network from my Mandrake 9.2 installation - can you explain how to do this?

I was able to hit my Linux machine by logging on as root with the root password.... hope this helps

you probably did setup samba correctly.
check to disable "guest account=yes" by add # in front of that line.
check if you had add an account for samba in /etc/samba/smb.conf
do "smbpasswd username" enter password.
to check if you had add any username to samba.

I am using Mandrake 9.1. I am also facing the same problem. I can see the Linux shares from the windows 2000 machine but whne I try to clik on the shared folder (the one On Linux machine), I am asked for password. When I fill in the password, I am not able to connect.
Another problem is that I can not print from windows machine to the printer that is connacted to the Linux machine.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
