There is a Win 98 machine and a SuSE 8.2 machine. Linux reads windows with no problem. Windows can ping the linux machine but Network Neighborhood can't see it. This is probably because I've been trying to start smbfs in the run level editor and it won't start. The error message is: "/etc/init.d/smbfs start returned 6 (program is not configured 'Mount SMB filesystem unused')" /etc/lmhosts is configured. /etc/smb.config is configured (correctly, I think). Modprobe shows smbfs is installed. nmb and smb are started. I don't know what else to do. Can any one tell me?

I'm no expert. this is a good resource that I have been using.

Thank you richard3403. I looked at a couple of sites like that but, since my difficulty is in configuration, it doesn't seem time for that yet. They actually have little to say about configuration. Almost nothing about smbfs.
