Hi,

Linux newbie....

I just setup Suse 9.1 Pro.

The main reason is that I need a File/Print and Mysql server.

I setup Samba server with Yast. Selected same workgroup name as exists
for my windows pcs's.

I can't see the linux box from any windows pc. I can successfully ping
the linux box from a window pc.

What I am doing wrong or how do I set up the Samba server correctly.

PS. I setup the Samba client on the linux box, but cant see any
windows pc's....

One last thing: I have 2GB Ram. What is a good swap file size, based
on my needs? Linux box will be serving 15 windows pcs.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
