And getting this: Error connecting to 192.168.10.28 (No route to host) 23617: Connection to 192.168.10.28 failed SMB connection failed There *should* be a route to host, since I can SSH into the box. :) 'uname -a' does indeed show the hostname as 'localhost'. The /etc/hosts file shows the standard 127.0.0.1 localhost entry. And as the 'unofficial' sysadmin, I'm sure of the system's username/password. So, I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that maybe I should change the hostname so that uname reports something other than localhost. If that's a good guess, what's the best way to go about it? My only other guess is that Samba is not configured on 192.168.10.28...
