I changed the smb.conf to have a different NetBios Name then the workgroup 'DAMEN'.
There does not appear to any change from the XP 'My Network Places'
Although the nmbd.log indicates that the name DAMEN<00> is not found.
[2006/02/21 21:24:14, 1] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_node_status_request(328) process_node_status_request: status request for name DAMEN<00> from IP 192.168.0.1 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET -
name not found.
[2006/02/21 21:24:16, 1] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_node_status_request(328) process_node_status_request: status request for name DAMEN<00> from IP 192.168.0.1 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET -
name not found.

Although 'nmblookup DAMEN' finds the name when executed on the linux box upon which smbd/nmbd is running.
querying DAMEN on 192.168.255.255
192.168.0.1 DAMEN<00>

This appear to (not)work the same with or without DAMEN listed in the lmhosts file.
Do I need to list the workgroup name somewhere else also?

Thanks,

Fred

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

Thanks,

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

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
