Re: making Samba work [not yet, it turns out]

Besides the previous configuration problems, when you change resolv.conf, you 
need to restart your network services.

/sbin/service network restart

to have it applied.

How about giving a fixed ip to studypc and putting it in the hosts file of the 
boxes?

Also, I have had the stuff as well with xp refusing access to shares that are 
configured to be accessable without password.  The cure for that was to put a 
password on the account, and use that in samba to connect to the windows box.
