Re: diald + ipmasq + samba

I don't have any trouble configuring Samba.
It's the combination of Samba, ipmasq, and diald that I'm wrestling with.

This is my configuration:

[global]
   guest account = nobody
   invalid users = root
   workgroup = WorkGroup1
   server string = Mike's Linux PC
   hosts allow = 192.168.0.

[c]
   comment = Mike's DOS C: Drive
   writable = yes
   path = /mnt/c
   public = yes


I have my DOS drive mounted so that a friend can still get stuff from it,
even when I use linux... 

Anyway, it shows up properly in his browse list.
I did have a problem recently with the M$ DUN upgrade, installed on a
second friend's PC, it killed the network continuity.. So, use
`smbclient -L [host]` on all the machines, and check that your Linux box
can "see" all of the others. I could not see my second friends PC.
