At a shell:
# locate smb.conf
This will tell you where your samba configuration is. On debian it is
/etc/samba/smb.conf
In each computer's smb.conf, under the [global] header, change the
line that starts with:
netbios name = BROWN
To whatever you want it to be. If that line isn't there, try adding
it in. Then restart the service for the changes to take effect.
# /etc/init.d/samba restart (on debian...)
Things to check:
- Is it just the windows computer that cannot see the changes? If one
of the linux boxes can see the other by its new name, then try
rebooting the windows box
- Is everything is in the right workgroup?
