Hi there

I have a small issue here, but do not really understand where the trouble is.
I have a local lan on 192.etc....  
One machine(4) is a dual one, and I want to be able to connect from windows 
to machine6.
Samba is installed on 6 and I can see it in windows neighbour.. (though I can 
not browse or write onto it, maybe config).

Now, this machine(4) is supposed to go home soon or later and I want to use 
Winscp to copy files from machine4 to machine6.

Winscp install went ok, though the winscp soft is now telling me :
"Network error. Address family not supported by protocal family" 

Funny thing is If I ping machine6 from windows I can see it.
So is it a real network issue or a winscp issue ?
Should I stop samba ? It seems to be a bit redundant with scp ?

Thanks a lot 
Edouard
