[lug] Samba connectivity question

[Mark Sweitzer]

I'm using Samba 3.0.10 on Mandriva 10.1.

Directories and a printer are being shared to a mixed Windows workgroup.

The WinXP computers are accessing the Samba shares.

The Win98 computers cannot see the Linux server at all. The server can be
pinged, but all attempts to find it as a Windows share fail, either by
server name (\\[Name]) or by IP address (\\[IP#]).

I've experimented with setting the Samba server as a WINS server, and
pointing the Win98 clients to the WINS server, but it still can't see any
shares.

Anyone got any clues on this?

My "smb.conf" text dump follows.

Thanks,
Mark
