Thanks. I removed the entry for DAMEN from lmhosts and restart smb/nmb and
no change that I can see.

Thanks,

Fred

Having the machine name equal to the workgroup name is a no-no, as far

I can access the shares by 'Map Network Drive' and using the IP
address(192.168.0.1).
I have set the workgroup name 'DAMEN' in the lmhosts file.
192.168.0.1 DAMEN

I have set the workgroup in the smb.conf file.
       workgroup = damen
       netbios name = damen
I have configured the Samba server to be the Domain Master Browser
       os level = 35
  domain master = yes
       preferred master = yes
  wins support = yes
I have configured the [global] to be browseable.
       browseable = yes
       public = yes


I have set the XP box to be on a home network(not bussiness network) and
workgroup to DAMEN.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Fred
