Hmmm...I'm trying to setup samba (1.9.16p7 if I remember correctly) at home...the configuration goes like this: "gw" - a 386 PC that I'm using as a FreeBSD box to gateway to the outside world. I'm running Samba on here. "nt" - my other "real" PC in its NT 3.51 Workstation mood. I'm trying to get things to a point where this box can browse shares exported from "gw", but I can't get it to browse "gw". I also run WfWg 3.11 and FreeBSD 2.1.5 on there, but that's not really relevant to this question... I've fiddled with some of the smb.conf settings on "gw" to set its "os level" to 34 and some other settings that I interpreted as meaning "make the Samba server the 'master'", but I'm not really familiar with the lingo here, so I'm not sure (I can just forward my smb.conf file if anyone's interested). Running 'testparm' and 'smbclient' (if I remember correctly) correctly show the shares that I intend to be exporting. From "nt", I can ftp files off of "gw" and I can use netscape to WWW browse and POP mail read via "gw", to the connectivity and routing is there, I think. Any suggestions?
