[NCLUG] samba printer stopped working with windows

[Daniel Herrington]

I just finished setting up a new WinXP box on a mixed network, and in 
the process I had to reconfigure the existing Win98 box to talk to it 
using a "wizard floppy" produced by the XP box. I also have a Linux box 
running a samba print server on the LAN that has since stopped working 
from the Windows boxes. In fact, I used to be able to use "smbclient 
//win98box/c" to connect from the Linux box to the Win98 box, and that 
has stopped working as well. I checked the workgroup name, to make sure 
it still matches, and it does. Anyone have any ideas what else might be 
wrong? I'm suspecting that the XP wizard floppy changed things on the 
Win98 box enough to mess up the connection...

Thanks,
Daniel
