Setting Up Samba with a LinkSYS Cable Router

[Jack Malone]

I have this linksys cable/dsl router here at work an at home an had a samba 
server at both locations. No problem at either location . I have a mix of 
win95/98/me at work an they see the server. I'm letting the router serve up 
ip's for now til i get that working on the linux box. Im using suse linux 
by the way.  Not sure what your problem is. can you manuelly setup the 
win98 box to see the samba server, not by browsing. ex go into my computer 
on the that machine an under tools click on the map network drive, an give 
the path to the samba server, here is my path ex \\Horizon\horizon\ . where 
as \\Horizon is the name of the machine an the \horizon is my share name on 
that server.

give that a try an see if it works for you.
