The XP lan base is 192.168.0.0 and the XP user "Owner" is on 192.168.0.1 and

I'm translating this all as:
XP box is named "willy" and has the IP 192.168.0.1.
what's the workgroup name? appears to be "workgroup" which is fine.
also, smbclient will use smb.conf too. what do you have set for the workgroup?
Thanks for reply.
Yes, xp box is willy and on 192.168.0.1 and:
~> cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
; idmap config * : backend = tdb
cups options = raw
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[Share]
path = /home/share
read only = No
#### Attempt to connect to XP box "WILLY" via samba.
#### First with XP NOT connected to internet:
~> smbclient -L WILLY
Enter howdy's password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.0.6]
this is extra extra weird. something is very wrong with how the names
are being resolved. at this point, can you ping willy and get the
192.168.0.1 address?
When I ping willy I get nothing returned but it causes that same
alert box comes up on XP box and dns is disabled.
I can still ping numeric addresses including 192.168.0.1.
I need to reboot XP to reset.
