Samba on Win2000

[Roland]

Hello all

I have been having trouble to connect to my laptop for a while now and I 
was advised to upgrade to version 8.1. So I did but the connection still 
does not work.

I have just checked my share with smbclient  //192.... but received the 
following error message.
session request to 192 failed (not listening for calling name)

What does it mean and how would I be able to fix this?


Small problem No 2:
Using Win98 I can open a brower window and I either put the IP adress or 
the host name to see the default page of my linux box, but with Win2000 
it only works with the IP adress. Why is this and how can this be solved.


Many thanks for your reply.
