Alrighty, here is my problem.
I have a small network set up in my apartment.
Linksys Cable/DSL Router
port1: Windows 2000 Server
port2: RedHat Linux
port3: Windows 98 SE
port4: Windows ME
(the 98 and ME machines are my roommates)
------------------------------------------
(On the Windows 2000 machine)
When I double click on "My Network Places" and then double click "Computers Near Me" I get this Error:
--
<Workgroup is Not Accesible>
The Account is not authorized to log in from this station.
--
WTF?
but i can browse the other windows machines via "\\10.1.5.10"
Why am I unable to view machines in my workgroup and why does my computer not show up in the other machines "Network Neighborhood"?
Any Clues? Is there a Service that i need to have running for this to work properly?
Also does the fact that i have Samba Running on my Linux Box have anything to do with it?
thanks
Ancker

Is SAMBA setup to run as Browse Master? Are you running a regular workgroup, or a domain? What protocol(s) are you using (anything other than TCP/IP)? Can the Win2K box use shares on the server? Is the Win2K box configured to logon to the same workgroup? Has this network ever worked properly with these machines?
