Subject: [Samba] Can't reach Samba shares from Win XP Pro


This seems to be common enough problem. I've used a variety of methods (command line as well as utilities like LinNeighborhood) to mount XP shares on my RedHat 8.0 running Samba 2.2.7. I get consistent problems the other way around. Despite a couple of shares on my Linux partition, I am just unable to do get to it. Network Neighborhood shows my Linux/Samba server but no shares, nor can I explicitly map the share to a Win XP logical drive.


While troubleshooting by reading Sam24hc13.qxd (an extract from an excellent book, I might add), I found that I run into trouble trying to use "nmblookup -B <broadcast address> <Samba machine name>". The same command works fine if I give it the names of my two XP machines. I somehow suspect this is the main reason why I'm having troubles elsewhere. Does anyone have an answer?
