I shared a directory on my Win2k machine, but the Linux machine is not
able to browse the local network at all (using Konquerer, I get the
response -> "could not connect to host localhost").
I can ping from my Win2K box to the Linux machine using the IP address
or the name, but I can't ping from the Linux machine to the Win2K
machine using the Win2K'2 computer name, only the IP address works.
In the file /etc/resolv.conf I have two nameserver entries: One is
assigned by Roadrunner, the other is the IP address of the Netgear MR314
router.
Mmmmhhh ???
