We'll look into it.

If you want to investigate, try running netmon or wireshark on one
of your clients and look for Host Announcements.  Each host should
announce itself (broadcast it's own hostname) every 10 minutes or so.

Subject: Re: [cifs-discuss] advertising shares


Hi

Well basically I've got an ubuntu fileserver running samba, afp, rsyncd and a bunch of other stuff. I'm trying to replace it with a new opensolaris machine. The ubuntu machine and all the windows machines on the network appear in the "network neighbourhood" (I suppose they dont call it that anymore but thats what it is). The opensolaris machine doesnt appear there, however going \\solaris in the windows address bar works, and all the shares are accessible (I'm going to play with ACLs when I get this working). Its the same story on my (linux based) beyonwiz PVR, except for some reason I cant manually access it by name/ip. I know theres some kind of broadcast system that windows machines use to find each other, my opensolaris box isnt doing it. Theres no domain here, I put everything on the "HOME" workgroup.

Ill attach the diag file.
