[Samba] Samba server and Win98 networking problem

[Stephen Liu]

Hi All Guys,

The problem is as follows:

ipchains and iptables stopped
# service smb start

On Win98
- 2 members found in the workgroup "Scw98"(Win98) and "M40G".
Samba server 
- Clicking "M40G" popup a warning "permission not allowed"
- Searching computer with the name of Samba server "M40G" found it there
but searching with its IP address could not find it
- Ping M40G and IP address of Samba server showed connected

On Samba server
"as root"
- "mount" could not mount Samba server
- Ping SCW98 and IP address of Win98 showed connecting
