You've probably got smbd running but not nmbd - this is required to enable browsing. I've just checked my build 81 SPARC box and for some reason it doesn't enable nmbd as part of the samba service. To check if this is what the problem is on your system, have a look to see if nmbd is running or not:
ps -ef | grep nbmd If that finds anything other than grep nbmd then nbmd is running and it's back to the drawing board! Assuming nbmd is *not* running, try starting it from the command line: /usr/sfw/sbin/nmbd Then check that it stayed running: ps -ef | grep nbmd Assuming nbmd is running OK you should then wait a few minutes for the Windows machines to update their browse lists, then have a look on one of the Windows machines to see if the Solaris box appears. To check the browse list that the Solaris box has, run the following command: /usr/sfw/bin/smbtree -N If this cures your browse problem, have a look at the following BigAdmin document which describes creating a modified samba service that includes nmbd: http://wikis.sun.com/display/BigAdmin/Enabling+Browsing+with+Samba+in+Solaris+10+Update+4 Cheers Andrew.
