Try setting the Samba box as your WINS server in the Windows network configuration dialogs. Might work *shrug*. >>> phptom at wordesign.net 01/15/04 06:06PM >>> I have an issue that is strange to me and very much over my head. If I use DHCP to configure my network, I can connect to my shares via samba from my windows box. If I hard-code my ip, gatewat, subnet, nameservers etc, I cannot connect. Wen hard-coded, I can get to the internet fine. Just Samba drops out. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
