I installed Samba 2.2.5 out of the box from the Linux distribution SuSE
Professional 8.1. The latest patches are installed, as provided by SuSE.
I have the following problem:
I can use file sharing with Windows 2000 SP4 and latest hotfixes. But on
Windows 98 with all updates installed I can't connect to shares and I
can't see even the Samba server. I just get an error message, that
Windows 98 can't find the share itself.
My configuration is as follows:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = SPEEDY
netbios name = OMEGA
encrypt passwords = Yes
map to guest = Bad User
null passwords = Yes
log level = 1
syslog = 0
time server = Yes
unix extensions = Yes
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
printcap name = CUPS
os level = 2

valid users = jstocker,wstocker, at users

force directory mode = 0770

I tried to find some information on my problem on the Internet but
wasn't lucky. So I'm trying this way.
Thanx for any help
