May be due to no guest account.  From Samba 3 by Example:

Network browsing involves SMB broadcast announcements, SMB enumeration requests, connections to the IPC$ share, share enumerations, and SMB connection setup processes. The use of anonymous connections to a Samba server involve the use of the /guest account/ that must map to a valid UNIX UID.

Hi,
I've got a few samba server in my network, but one of them is "invisible". I cannot do a nmblookup on it (even from the server itself), but I cannot telnet the port 137, thus it should not be a problem of firewall. From windows xp machines, I can connect specifying the IP address, while from win98 machines I cannot (I got an error like network name does not exist).
The following is the smb.conf file, I'm running samba 2.2.7:


global]
       os level = 33
       time server = Yes
       unix extensions = Yes
       encrypt passwords = Yes
       log level = 5
       syslog = 5
       printing = CUPS
       printcap name = CUPS
       socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
       wins support = No
       veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/
       security = user
       workgroup = G2OR
       server string = "Mammuth"
       netbios name = "mammuth"
[project]
       comment = "Cartella PROJECT/ufficio MK via SMB - Mammuth"
       path = /mnt/data/uff_mk/PROJECT
       browsable = yes
       writable = yes
       printable = no
       valid users = +ufficioMK +cam


I've tried with the remote announce and master browser options, but it still not works. Any idea?
