I am a Samba newbie who has just set up a Samba server running under
Fedora Core 3 and a client running under Win 98. Any attempt to see the
network from "Network Neighborhood" or from "Windows Explorer" fails
with the error box:
Unable to browse the network
.
The network is not accessible
For more information ...
I have run all the tests in the HOWTO section:
.../Samba-HOWTO-Collection/diagnosis.html
up to and including the last two:
C:\WINDOWS>net use x: \\claremont\TMP
on the client, which does, in fact make the device x: on my client
equivalent to /tmp on my server, and
$ nmblookup -M MYGROUP
querying MYGROUP on 192.168.255.255
192.168.1.35 MYGROUP<1d>
on the server, which looks OK.
Nevertheless (to repeat) attempts to browse the network from "Network
Neighborhood" or from "Windows Explorer" all fail.
Is my installation of Win 98 broken? Should I reinstall? What's going
on?
