[Samba] Problem with Samba on Home Network

Kathy Wills Mon, 12 Jan 2004 18:36:25 -0800

I have Samba set up on my Gentoo Linux Box. Our access to the internet is through a broadband modem/router. Internet access in all instances is fine. The problem is that one computer is not showing up in even its own Network Neighborhood. I can access the files on this computer though from the other computer.

Samba setup is as follows:

The Gentoo Linux box Computer A running samba server: ip 192.168.0.b broadcast 255.255.255.0 Windows ME setup through Win4Lin on Computer A ip 192.168.0.d broadcast 255.255.255.0 These both show up in the Network Neighborhood of the Win4Lin desktop. Can access computer B if do add network \\computername\c

Husband's ME computer computer B: ip 192.168.0.c broadcast 255.255.255.0. Computer A and the Win4Lin files are accessible in this network neighborhood. This computer does not show up in the network neighborhood. He is able to use the printer that is attached to computer A.

All have the same group name. Computer B has been added as a machine to Samba.

What have I got wrong? Attached is a copy of my smb.conf.
