Probably your hostname is the same as the netbios name? If so, my guess is it's just falling back to using dns here. > that works no problem... it just don't show up in Mnplaces I had this when nmbd stopped syncing with the wins server. Anything of interest in the nmbd logs? Mine was strange, I had I had nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:domain_master_node_status_fail(262) domain_master_node_status_fail: Doing a node status request to the domain master browser for workgroup (DOMAIN) at IP (IP_OF_PDC/WINS) failed. Cannot sync browser lists. A dump of the workgroups reported that current master browser = UNKNOWN. I could ping the wins server just fine, and could hit its 137-139 udp, but no gravy. It had been working great for weeks (over ctc no less), but broke after the nt wins server reportedly had "issues" one weekend. Long story short, after days of trying various things, the only thing that eventually got me back "in" with the wins server was to add a new interface and route over that. I was able to sync, and then I flipped everything back to using the original ctc interface, and everything worked like it was supposed to (and like it had been before that weekend). Don't know why this cured it, but that was what finally got nmbd syncing again. You shouldn't have to go this extreme, but check out the nmbd logs. If you need more info, a kill -HUP pid-of-nmbd will cause it to dump its workgroups to its log file. That should at least help figuring out where things are failing.
