[Samba] Can't see linux machine from winxp

[Ow Mun Heng]

<snip>
The samba server (version 2.2.7a) is running on Redhat Linux
9.0.  I can successfully connect to the XP machine and copy files from
the XP machine to my Linux machine.  But I cannot access my linux box
from my XP machine (The samba server shows up in the browse list on
winxp).

I will attempt to help. I will not be responsible for the utter failure of
my attempts at helping. :)

Okay.. Seems to me you 

1/ can see Redhat from XP (net view )
2/ Cannot connect to Redhat from XP. 

On 2/ can you click on the Redhat share?? what does it say, incorrect
username/pass? Is your username/pass on xp and redhat in sync??

Did you know that there's some issues in getting XP to talk to Linux?
There's a 'sign & Seal' registry hack which needs to be applied somewhere.. 
	
All registry and Group Policy settings according to Samba-HOWTO Chapter....
	 "requiresignorseal"=dword:00000000
	"signsecurechannel"=dword:00000000

somewhere along those lines..



Cheers,                                                 .^.

I have literally beat my brains out trying to get my XP machine to talk
to my samba server on my linux machine.

MY PROBLEM:

The samba server (version 2.2.7a) is running on Redhat Linux
9.0.  I can successfully connect to the XP machine and copy files from
the XP machine to my Linux machine.  But I cannot access my linux box
from my XP machine (The samba server shows up in the browse list on
winxp).

MY SETUP:

XP machine:
        Hostname - winxp
        2 ethernet cards - one going to my starband satellite modem
                           one going to my linux machine
        IP address - 192.168.0.1 (the one connected to linux machine)
        

Redhat linux 9.0 machine:
        Hostname - redhat
        one ethernet card connected to my XP machine.
        IP address - 192.168.0.252


RELATED INFO:

 - I can successfully surf the net from my linux machine
 - I can ping from redhat to winxp and from winxp to redhat.
   (initially I could only ping from winxp to redhat by using the ip.  I
   added redhat to the lmhosts file on the winxp machine)

 - from redhat
