I would like to Lan all these togther. All my winbox's have 98se installed and I have calandra installed on the Linbox. Here's whats going on right now.
Linbox-sees the Lan network
-can mount winbox1's drives and access the drive
-can see winbox2's drives put gives me an error that it can't mount the drive
-can see winbox3 but not its drives
All Winbox's can not see the Linbox.
The Linbox and Winbox's have a specified Lan Ip
Both the Linbox and the Winbox's are connected through a Linksys router set up as a gateway.
All the box's can see the internet.
I want to use the Linbox as a server.
Any thoughts????
Peace

-can see winbox2's drives put gives me an error that it can't mount the drive
Possibly the wrong password?
-can see winbox3 but not its drives
Possibly need to setup the sharing again?
All Winbox's can not see the Linbox.
Can they ping it?

Do you have Samba configured and running on the Linbox? The Winboxes won't be able to see Linbox without Samba.

Alrighty then, here's the latest. The winbox I could see but not mount had a pw on its drive so thats fixed. The one winbox that I could see but couldnt see any of the drives was messed up and I just got finished reloading Windows on it(I'm very use to this lol). I found a great website that helped me get the winbox's to see the linbox--PRAISE THE LORD. Its at www.tweakhound.com (http://www.tweakhound.com) . He wrote a review on Mandrake 9.0 which is what I ultimatly installed. This guy talks my language. I'm a big K.I.S.S. method guy. For you that dont know what that means its- Keep It Simple Stupid.
He left one thing out of his instructions that I'm emailing on right now. Maybe one of you can help. I want to install Linneighborhood on my linbox to work as the network neighborhood. Where do I download it too and/or how do i install it. I've dowloaded it but cant seem to get it installed.
This is getting to be fun. Check out that site. As Arnold would say--I'll be back.
Peace

You put the file in any directory where you have write access.
tar xzvf LinNeighborhood-0.6.5.tar.gz
cd LinNeighborhood-0.6.5
Read the INSTALL, README and CONFIGURATION files.
./configure
make
su -c"make install"
It should put the binary in /usr/local/bin/LinNeighborhood
