[Samba] Samba with a Win9x network and RoadRunner

[Filipe Joel de Almeida]

I had that problem in the beginning too... I had to manually configure
the default gateway and DNS servers so that they were exactly as if I
had DHCP, and then it worked.

I've tried setting the IP on the Linux machine manually, but the result
was
ugly - I couldn't connect to any outside Internet services.  If I don't
let
RR(my cable ISP)'s DHCP server set my IP, I can't access the Internet at
all.
