Please educate me a little bit more here.
There are 2 and only 2 computers for this network
Linux Box -> Server/router/gateway -> 192.168.1.1 -> lan_sys_opt
Win 98 Box -> Workstation -> 102/168.1.2 -> lan_user
If I understand you correctly what you are saying is that if I copy your
samba.conf file to my samba.conf file and make the above changes I should be
able to see the network from the Win98 box?
At that point how do I set up my Win 98 box? ie what settings do I use?
Thanks
Frank
