Win98 and Samba

When I left work this Friday, everything with regards to Win98, Win95, and
Samba running on two NCR UNIX servers and one Redhat Linux server, is
WORKING fine.  At least it is on the local subnet.

Finally gave up on making Samba on one of the UNIX PC's, the local master
browser, and made one of the Windoze98 PC's the local browser.  Network
Neighborhood browsing works only when this PC is running.

Next week, I'll start to try to make Samba work over the routers to remote
subnets.

Learned a lot from buying Micro$oft Windows98 Resource Kit manual.  Cost was
about $100,  or in terms you can relate to, about 4 pizzas.

Moved many MB's of data around the net between the servers today. Works
great.  All user connections to printers work beautifully.   Now that I've
patted your back,  I'd like to know whether there is "updated" documentation
re the Browsing.txt re using subnets?
