Has anyone been successful setting up a linux box thru a Linksys router?
I have a home network that I recently added cable and the linksys 4 port hub/router to. Everything was working fine before, linux box (mandrake 6.1) was talking and seeing the win boxes. Now that I went straight DHCP instead of static IP and changed from TCP/IP to Netbeui things have changed. I can ping from the linux box, even out to the net, including DSN look-up, but cant see it in the win machines. Samba loads ok, but NMB is having problems, cant recognize host name. Wierd.
Is it that Linux can only use tcp/ip and not netbeui? Should, I can ping. I think it is in the Samba set-up, I read many articles and books, but still cant get it right. I have made so many changes to my smb.conf and a few other files that I probably dont know what is "right" anymore.
any suggestions ?
Thanks
