[TriLUG] SAMBA question

[Roy Vestal]

Samba question: I have an RHL 8.0 box running samba. It's sharing one
folder. When I try to connect to it via Windows 98 using the ip address
(i.e. \\192.168.xxx.xxx), it's not found. Also if I try to browse the
network, I'm told my network is not seen. I do not have DNS server, rather I
depend on my hosts files. I only have 4 machines on the network and am not
planning to put in a DNS server.

Any ideas to get this heterogeneous conglomeration to merge and become
homogeneous?
