 Samba problem Hi, I have a samba server set up on a slackware 11.0 system. My windows systems can access the samba shares with no problem. 1. When I try to access windows shares from within KDE the workgroup computers show up, but when I click on one of them I get a timed out message right away, there is no delay before the timeout message window is displayed. Is there a config file that specifies how long the timeout is? Or is there something else that could be happening? 2. Is there a way to access a windows share from the Linux terminal prompt? Thanks      |

Are the Windows machines > running a firewall? The windows computers all have shared drives and are accessible between each other. My previous linux 10.2 install could access them with no problem. There must be some problem with the config but I do not know which file is used to adjust the timeout parameters. > >> 2.

Can anyone suggest an example of the setting for this file? Thanks |
