I'm running RedHat 7.2
with the latest Samba-Version
Of course, configured for the same workgroup
Samba status says smbd & nmbd are running
the smb conf is in /etc/samba
and i am using xinetd

My Win98SE Client does not show any other box.
I'm running Microsoft Client for Win Net...
And ping & routing works...

But on my linux box also clients like swat & webmin
did not react, even if i am starting them manually.

So what am I doing wrong?
Why are those configuration tools not working?

heyya
how did you try to test your services like swat and webmin?
and how did you configure your win98se host?
give more information!

I tried to use swat by calling http://localhost:901
and webmin by calling http://localhost:10000
in WebBrowser

My Windows Client is using
Microsoft Client for Windows Networks
an ethernet adapter with tcp/ip & netbieu for file sharing
192.0.0.2 / 255.255.255.0
and using the same login & pass i registered under linux &smbpasswd

hrm...
try Start -> Run -> "\\<<IP OF YOUR SAMBA BOX>>"
without the <<>> stuff of course :-D
the thing why swat and webmin doesnt work could be:
1. localhost is unknown (look into /etc/hosts for a 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain etc line)
2. hostname of webmin/swat misconfigured (when u try to connect to localhost and the webserver of webmin is configured to use for example foobar as hostname there must be a ip for the name foobar in the /etc/hosts too)
3. look if your loopback device is up (/sbin/ifconfig and look for a "lo" section)

look with netstat if the ports 901 and 10000 are listening (netstat -na)

what is the error message that u get when u are trying to contact local host on port 901 and 10000? connection refused, timed out...
whatever
information!

damn, nothing happens
now the ethernet is the only network adapter in win
just running tcp/ip with client for microsoft networks
using the same user as under linux
and i still can't see anything...

i am nearly to give up...

From the windows client i can ping my linux server,
but when i try to ping 127.0.0.1 / localhost from the
server itself i just become
... NO PERMISSION

Is that the reason why swat and webmin does
not work?
What can i do?
