Yep I did realize, but for my (basic) use I left it in permissive mode
ever since I had problems years ago and it never seemed to log anything
now so I could leave it working!

I have a packet of about 15 Dyson floppy disks unused and about 7 used
ones. If anyone wants them let me know soon, else they go to
landfill.

Hi,

I have now got Samba to run OK on the PC with Samba password and can see
and open my kmy files OK.

(I am also running enforcing Alex!)

My PC is at 192.168.0.2
Router at 192.168.0.1
Laptop at 192.168.0.4

They are all allocated with mac address on the router (Netgear DGN2200v4)

I was still having a problem seeing the server from the laptop and have
disabled its firewall (temporally) with no effect but just noticed
errors on start up with nmb on PC.

It gives an IP address (192.168.13.2) I am not using! and its all a bit
above my knowledge level.

I could not see anything on the laptop but now get an index with the
"Documents" folder link (as configured) but it does not open.

Apologies, I am putting relevant output below as emails with
attachments do not seem to get posted:

Any suggestions (nmb was running before I disabled the firewall!!)?
