[Samba] Re: Stumped at "Network Neighborhood", Samba server is visible, but it's path can't be found ...

[Jamie Risk]

Hi Bob, thanks for responding ...

Yes; at least if your asking about the unix side of things. Through some
magic
that I did a few days ago I piped the password file for linux into a
password
file for samba, then initialized the samba account of interest.  A
decription
of what I did is here:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-samb
a-configuring.html

On the windows side of things, I'm trying to access the share as different
user.
I'm assuming (?) that I'll be asked for the appropriate passwords when the
connection
is being established.

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm still under the impression I'm faced with a DNS
resolution problem since I can't ping the Linux box from my W2000 console
using anything OTHER than the quad IP address.
