AH HAH! The workstation CAN'T see the Samba server when I try to browse it using \\SAMBA_SERVER ! hmmmmm.
The /etc/samba/lmhosts file has this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.51.3 SAMBA_SERVER and I have wins support = Yes in the /etc/samba/smb.conf and 192.168.51.3 as the Primary Wins server on the workstation as well as the Primary and Secondary DNS servers for our Internet service. Is there something else I need to set up for this? Man .. this has gone from one problem, to a completely different one! ;-) Thanks again for your help, Rick > My suggestion would be to make sure your workstation can resolve the UNC > of the samba server.
