[Tfug] samba preliminaries

[Paul Scott]

I have installed samba here and am working on the configuration.  W98SE 
machine can ping this machine and can see the samba server on this 
machine (Debian Sarge/Sid).  This machine cannot even ping the W98SE 
machine.  Actiontec R1520SU is gateway.

'ping janet' or 'smbclient -L janet' shows this on this machine with 
tcpdump but no response
15:44:06.739259 arp who-has janet tell joy
15:44:07.739260 arp who-has janet tell joy
15:44:08.739502 arp who-has janet tell joy


Thanks for any clues,
