Hi Christoph, Thanks for your help. > Do you start smbd/nmbd through inetd.conf or in /etc/rc.local? > I recommend the latter at least as long as thing don't work > reliably. I start nmbd with specifying the broadcast address > explicitly in the command line (-B ). Right now I'm starting them by hand as follows: nmbd -D -S smbd -D Is the order important? > Have you looked at /usr/local/samba/log.<your-Win95-pc> ? Yes. Now when I connect using a DOS box (net use \\groucho\dpflag), it succeeds and I am able to DIR etc. However, I do get messages in the log as follows: Attempt to locate null printername! Internal error? coudn't find service This is not my primary aim though. What I want is to use 32 bit networking. > Do you have a guest/pcguest account on the FreeBSD box? I did not, but thanks to your suggestion, I have added it now. Before I added it I was in fact getting messages in the log to the effect that the account "pcguest" was not set up. > Can you connect (through smbclient to the Win95 box)? I have not tried this since I intend to use the Win95 box only as a client. Do you think it would help to set it up as a server? > Do you have an entry of your FreeBSD box in your > hosts file (lmhosts ?) in your Win95 box? Once again, at your suggestion I have added one with the following lines: 198.202.216.48 groucho groucho.ubs.com #PRE 198.202.216.49 chico chico.ubs.com #PRE "groucho" is my FreeBSD server, "chico" is the Win95 box. > Are you using DNS? No. Since there are only these two computers on the network, I am using /etc/hosts. > Describe the symptoms in more detail. I am a bit further ahead now. At least I am able to connect from a DOS box and a "net use \\groucho\dpflag". However I am still not able to use Win95's 32 bit networking. When I start up my machine, I see the Windows Networking dialog which prompts me for my username, password and domain. I enter "dpflag", my password, and "groucho" for these (I don't know what else to enter for domain). It pauses for a while and then tells me that "No domain server was available to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources". It then asks me for my Windows password and my desktop appears. When I click on "Network Neighborhood", nothing appears under Entire Network. If I double-click on "Entire Network", I get "Unable to browse the network. The network is not accessible". Dan.
