I've recently installed FC3 on one of my machines and got it up and running in most aspects. I have been battling with samba though trying to share with one of my XP machines on my network. In my network there are two XP Machines and my new Linux Machine. The XP Machine that shares a printer (named OFFICE), I can see and access, as well as use the shared printer from the linux machine, but I can't see the linux machine from that particular XP box. The other XP machine on my network(Named LAPTOP), I can't seem to see from the linux box or vice-versa.
I'm not sure if I've gone too far at this point, I have been able to see the LAPTOP from the linux box, but after a reboot, it was gone.
I have SMB checked in my services and it is running.
As for Hosts, I'm not exactly sure how this works. In the Network Config on the linux machine, I have both of my XP machines listed with their IP's.
I read something about editing the lmhosts.sam file on my XP machines, but I'm not sure this is going to change anything as I can see one machine but not the other and I haven't changed that file.
I'm not sure where to start to troubleshoot this, Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I can see the linux box from LAPTOP now, but I am still denied access to it, and cannot see it from the linux machine
