Why don't you download and install Fedora Core 3 RC5 which was made
available just this past Friday.
As to Samba, you should also look over the Release Notes that come with
RC5. there is a short section on Samba that you should study. You either
need to disable your Fedora Core firewall, or configure a WINS server
and point the "WINS server" option of your smb.conf file at it. I have
not done this myself.

this ystem is up2date as of 10/31/04. I used the above menu to load up
the
"services" app to make sure smb and windbind are running in level 3 ,
4, and 5 (not sure if level 4 should as I don't know much about that
level)
I made sure my sons machine is running and made sure samba is running
on it, (suse 9.1) it can not see my machine and when I start konqueror
in my machine and type smb:// his machines name it comes back with it
can not find it.
I also got a message when I clicked on local networks saying I needed
lisa, so I opened a terminal and started lisa, now I see a bunch of
local 127.x.x.x and see my box FED777 but do not see my son's.
I'm not sure If I've done something to break it(probably), since I've
spent my time learnig to properly compile the kernel so I could then
compile the raid card driver's and read and write to it(ntfs was a
disappointment can't write to it)
last I've done a lot of reading from the google pages and man samba and
have learned a lot even how to mount and dismount NTFS volumes in
Windows, something totally unknown to me until today ;) but have not
succeeded in fixing samba. I need to share my printer for the wife and
son's machine.
all suggestions are deeply appreciated and my appologies for the long
and winding story ;)
