How was the biscuit supply? :-) Sorry not to have made it. I did almost get Samba going last night though. In linux, the test smb.conf I did works fine, but windows says the network is unavailable when I have a look in Network Neighbourhood. Telnet, ping are fine so it isn't the networking. I suspect it may be the netbios name in linux? I get an error on boot in linux to do with setting the hostname, although it goes on to name the computer "mossey". Did many folk show up? Jenny.
