You very nearly had me being able to say I'd be there, I was meant to be
in Moreton today, however situation changed.

so heres what I suggest:

cat /etc/hosts

make sure that you have an entry for localhost, depending on the setup
or not you may want to add one.

failing that, are you able to access the samba shares from other systems
like the *shudder* win98 boxes?

I assume so as you didnt say otherwise.


just my immediate thoughts,

Mark
