Hi there,
I have been working on this myself with FreeBSD 4.4. I am new to Unix networking myself this has certainly been a great learning experience!
Definitely check out the documents on Samba.org.
Here are the things I ran into:
- Ping yourself $>ping localhost
If you are unsuccessful, that means that you will need to bind an address to the NIC.
- ping the other PCs
By address and by name. If you cannot by name, you will need to add them to HOSTS. BE sure all PCs are in the same IP range and subnet.
- Make sure that both smdb and nmdb are started. (easy to do if you are using SWAT.
This was my last challenge to seeing the FreeBSD PC from the Windows clients. If nmdb is not running, you will be able to see the Windows PCs but they will not be able to see the Linux PC.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Steve
