Very Computer

I've posted this before, but I'm still having problems...

Here's the situation.  I have a RH6.1 machine (Orion) that is
hooked up to my school's network.  I have a win98 machine
(Chamelion) hooked up to Orion.  I have internet sharing
working, but I want to be able to see the school's network in my
win98 network neighborhood through Orion.  My school is on a
10.x.x.x network with it's own DHCP with netmask 255.255.255.0
and my network is on a 192.168.2.x network with netmask
255.255.255.0  Is this feat possible?  I am able to access some
computers if I specify an ip address.

I've edited the /etc/smb.conf file as follows:
wins proxy = no
wins server = a.b.c.d (a.b.c.d being the address of the school
server)
;wins support = yes
dns proxy = no

Is the preceding correct to enable wins on my server?  if not,
any help would be appreciated, thanks.

What connects you to the school?  Do you plan on
using the internet?  If so look into doing VPN.

If I were the Network Administrator at the school,
I would not allow it from my home network, let
alone anyone else's.

My RH.1 Server is connected to the school network and i have ip
masquerading enabled on it.

How ? Ethernet, dialup, whatever ?

It is possible, however, you'll either have to setup your server
as a WINS server , thus practically "mirroring" the WINS server
of your school network's server, or you could try adding the name
and IP address of your school's WINS server into the C:\windows\lmhosts
and C:\windows\hosts file on your Win98, and tell it to use that
IP address as WINS server (doubtful). Another way would be adding
all machine names and IP addresses into the ~\windows\hosts file -
depending on the size of the school's network, this may or may
not be a very handy way to do it.

The problem with your setup is that the NetNeighbourhood feature
uses NetBIOS broadcasts, which will not be forwarded across a router
(in this scenario, your RH server). Therefor you will either have to
supply a way on "your" side of the network for WINS translation to
be working, or you'll have to teach the Win98 machine where to look for
the machine that does the translation.

I'm able to access the internet throught the school's gateway.
I've enable the following lines in /etc/smb.conf:
wins support = yes
;wins server= a.b.c.d
wins proxy = yes
dns proxy = no
I've also added my werver in my client's \windows\hosts.sam,  but
no go.

any reason for the ; in this line?
remove it and try again

and the .sam won't help at all,
rename it to hosts ( without suffix)

Before you buy.

This does not have any effect, unless you provide a /etc/lmhosts
file containg the names and IP addresses of the systems on both
sides of the router.

No surprise. Remove the .sam extension, so that the filename is
just "hosts" without any extension.

The ';' is the symboly delimiting a comment, I was just trying to
show all the relevant lines.
I can't have both the "wins server = " and "wins support" enabled
at the same time.  I was showing the results
of trying a suggestion of a previous post (maybe hard trying to
map to school wins server, so try enabling one
of your own).

I've done that, but still no go.

I've edited the /etc/lmhosts file like this:
192.b.c.d       linuxserver.school.edu
10.b.c.d        linuxserver.school.edu
192.b.c.e       linuxserverclient.school.edu

Here's what I currently have in my /etc/smb.conf file:
wins support = yes
;wins server = 168.28.176.11
wins proxy = yes
dns proxy = no

Here's what I have in my network properties on my win98 client:

DNS Configuration- Enable DNS
        Host: linuxserverclient         Domain: school.edu
        DNS Server Search Order (all the addresses found in
/etc/resolv.conf on linuxserver)
                168.28.176.11
                168.28.176.253
                168.28.176.254

Gateway-
        Installed gateways: 192.b.c.d (address of linuxserver)  

WINS Configuration (Enable WINS Resolution)
        WINS Server Search Order:      
                168.28.176.253
                168.28.176.254
                192.b.c.d

IP Address- Specify an IP address (I have dhcpd running on
linuxserver)
Thanks for all of your help so far, I just wanna get this going
so I can access the other computers.

I think I hae the problem alost solved.  I am able to access a
couple of machines in Nework Neighborhood in the form of
\\ip-address  I've been reading and reading and I can 't seem to
find the right DNS and/or WINS configuration options to enable in
my /etc/smb.conf file to have the computers show up in my
client's Network Neighborhood.  Any suggstions? Thanks for the
help.
