[chat] Samba cannot connect a Linux redhat9 box to windows 2000 box

["Roger Salisbury" <rojee@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

Any ideas anyone:

Samba cannot connect a Linux redhat9 box to windows 2000 box

*But* can from my redhat7.2 box.  The same smb.conf file is used on both boxes.

The redhat 9 has a stock kernel.

The redhat 7.2 has NOT a stock kernel.

Perhaps the redhat9 kernel needs some extra functionality??

 

 

Nmblookup response below is not working on my redhat9 box.

The required response is:
