I've got a problem with nmbd failing...my log file is as follows:

My main question is, what does this really tell me, and how can I fix it.

the linux box in question running samba is 192.168.0.7/255.255.0.0

have a windows 98 client 192.168.0.4. it's a dns(192.168.0.1) and a wins(192.168.0.7) client

have a windows 98 client 192.168.0.1. it connects to the internet with a caching proxy server that does dns. it's a wins client also

I've checked the usual suspects: subnet/workgroup issues, client configuration. One of my these pc's dual boots linux also, with an identical smb.conf file and works fine. This server's smb client works fine also. It's an older machine with a pentium I/133 mhz and 128 mb ram.


I'm really at my wit's end....I thought I had samba licked?....help!
