Win98 troubles

[Clair Roberts]

-- win98 (I know, I know, yuk)
-- Solaris 2.7  Samba TNG (checked out 2000/04/11,  I believe it's alpha
2.3)

My NT4(SP6a) workstation is connecting and doesn't seem to be having any
troubles.

But, that pesky Win98 laptop seems to be another story.  It connect's to the
Domain no problem.
but it can't browse the samba server.  Using Explorer the samba server shows
up in the list along with the
other machines, but when it is explicitly selected this error occurs:

   \SAMBA-TNG is unavailiable
   This device does not exist on the network.

Now I know it is there and working because the NT machine is happy.  Sooo I
tried the old map network drive trick and
presto no problem.  At least on the surface.  Now that darn machine seems to
be crashing like made (I mean more than usual)
when I check smbstatus it shows that files are locked for that machine even
after the machine is off.

Anybody else having these types of problems?

I have the logs from level 100, they are pretty big, I am not sure which are
relevant.  Let me know if there is something specific I can pick out of
them.


here is my smb.conf. --
