"could not connect to host - localhost"

[Adams, Christopher]

You should take a look at your Samba log files.  They will usually tell you
what went wrong behind the scenes.   Question:  What procedure were you
attempting to perform when you got the error "could not connect to host -
localhost"?  

Right off it sounds like Samba isn't recognizing your local system.  Usually
an error like that would contain the localhost's hostname instead of just
localhost, but I could be wrong.

Hi All:

	I'm running Mandrake 8.1 (downloaded) and the install went fine. 
Configuring Samba however is another story. I get the message "could not 
connect to host - localhost" on the Linux box. I cannot see the network 
from the Linux system. The Linux system is visable from Win'98SE as are the 
shares but I cannot access them "password is incorrect".

	This does not appear to be a single problem but a combination of
problems 
so any guidance would be appreciated. I've searched the faq with no results 
and read the DOCs and a bunch of other stuff and I'm into day 6 of 
frustration here.

	Thanks for the help.

	Ron Woodall
