When someone says "it worked last week or yesterday but now it doesn't", I always ask what changed? Did anything change on your system with regards to configs? What happens when the systems are rebooted? Are your win boxes win NT or 9X class machines? If none of the windows boxes run NT, you might consider making the Linux box the master browser. Just uncomment the master browser deal in the config file. Read the comments that come with the Samba config example; there is a wealth of information there. I use Samba at home and it works quite well with what is nearly a default taken from the examples. I don't use the linux printer stuff and I am more into having shared disk space and home directories for individual users. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Creasy [mailto:johann@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 11:55 AM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: samba help ok, this is probably the wrong list for this but I am subscribed to this one and you guys might be able to help. On with the problem: I have a samba server setup and a network of win machines. When I try to access the smb box from one of the windows machines I get the error that the computer is unreachable because the network is busy. This server worked last week and won't now, I really don't know why.
