using Debian linux I had this problem till now it has been
a real bugger to understand. I did many searches and found
nothing. Of course I fond nothing in the way of help I wasn't looking
for the right thing or in the right place. I have been stumped on this
problem for a month. I have installed and re installed edited till I was
blue in the face. Saying to myself if linux is so great why is it so bloody
hard to set up a simple network......
it's as simple as understanding how to connect two computers.
both computers need to be set correctly to get the network
up and running. the problem was I already have a network
two win98se boxes and they worked just fine.
i thought it had to be linux causing the problem not my working
windows network. boy was I wrong...........
the problem was I could go on the linux box and see and use both
the win98se boxes but if I went on the win98se box and try to access
the linus box it was a no go.
I had to rethink what the problem was so I decided to look into
the windows boxes it turns out you need a user name and password
in the windows boxes ok I made one and to my surprise I ended
up with no network at all it was gone.
well now that stumped me to no end till I decided to delete the
users and the pwl file I recreated the users and gave that a try
this time I had the linux box and both win98se boxes.
the final problem was a corrupt pwl file.
I am happy again:)
one site stands out in my searches to find the problem
and evan put a name to it. (google is your friend)

I joined a forum as well and have been given great help
in the area of understanding linux.
