Actually you nailed the problem.
For this to work Samba/Konqueror must be able to resolve the machine's Ip
addresses, hostnames and vice-versa.
You could do this by setting up the /etc/hosts file, which would be easiest.
Remember that your Local (running on Linux) Samba server must be active and
able to attach to Windows shares for Konqueror's display to work.
I.E. smbclient must get you to the Winblows machine by name...
You also may need to provide authentication information to Konqueror.
You windows machines must have also "seen" the login as valid before...
I.E. if your Linux box is authenticating as "testuser" then at least ONCE
you must have logged into your Windows machine as "testuser", using the same
username and passwords.
This is not necessary if you are using guest shares, or have explicitly set
up sharing options in Windows.
Domain logins are a whole different kettle of fish.

Subject: [newbie] konqueror does not show SMB shares
Hi all,
I got Samba running a few weeks ago, and just haven't had time to deal
with this issue until now. I noticed in konqueror, that there is a
Network icon ala Windows' Network Neighborhood. Under Network, there is
an icon for Windows Shares. Under Windows Shares, there is an icon for
my Windows work group, SSBS. However, there are no computers under
SSBS! From other PCs, I can see my Linux box with its public folder,
and I can perform I/O operations in it.
Upon further looking, it would seem that I can't resolve most local
(LAN) host names. I can resolve my LAN server, but not other PCs. I
don't know if this is related or not.
Anybody have any ideas?
Dave
