Solution found. For some reason I had to add the linux box name to my laptop's host file. Now it works. However, I'm sure that's not mentioned in the sambe connection instructions I've read, so it's probably to do with how I've configured my Windows network, not with Samba. Should I be using some kind of Windows LMHOSTS or something to allow it to find the samba server without editing my hosts file? -- View this message in context: http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/rebuilt-XP-machine-cannot-see-Samba-server-tp3437663p3437736.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
