Windows XP and Samba


Hello there. I am using RedHat 7.2 (and the version of Samba shipped with RedHat 7.2). I have been able to get my network working well between my Windows 98 SE machine and the Linux machine, but when I try to either connect to one of my Windows XP machines from Linux, or connect to my Linux machine through Windows XP, I can't connect. Pinging their IP address doesn't even work.
Any ideas?

(By the way, I am pretty sure that it is not a hardware error with the NIC)

Thanks in advance,
oostevo

If the're not pinging maybe it's a problem with the ip addresses.

Are you using dhcp?

Are all machines on the same network address?

Can you ping from win98 to win2k/xp?


When you plug the cable in does the connection show active (2k/xp)?
