Thanks.  I set the WINS server to the ip of the box running smbd/nmbd.
There is no change in browsing from 'My Network Places'.
I tried 'net view \\192.168.0.1\' from the XP 'cmd' window and received the correct output expected. I tried 'net view \\DAD\' and 'net view \\DAMEN\' in the XP cmd window and received:
System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.

While setting the 'smbcontrol nmbd debug 10' the nmbd.log file logs
[2006/02/22 11:47:49, 4] nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:dump_workgroups(284)
 dump_workgroups()
  dump workgroup on subnet     192.168.0.1: netmask=    255.255.0.0:
       WORKGROUP(2) current master browser = MONEY
       DAMEN(1) current master browser = DAD
               DAD 400c9a03 (Damen Samba Server)
               BABYDRAGON 40011203 (Sue's Computer)
               FREDDYDAMEN 40001003 (Freddy Damen's Computer)
and everything else does not indicate an error has occurred.

Also I tried what I think is the linux equilvant for the net view -> ' smbclient //DAD/'
I receive at the tty
Password:
Domain=[DAD] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.14a-2]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

and in the messages file
Feb 22 11:53:14 www smbd[2420]: [2006/02/22 11:53:14, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(794)
Feb 22 11:53:14 www smbd[2420]:   dad (192.168.0.1) couldn't find service

I get this response with the workgroup, lmhost name or ip address.

' smbclient -L dad -U%' gives the correct responce expected.

Thanks,

Fred

Do you have the wins servers IP address setup on your xp box?  I had this 
problem when I first set up our network and adding the wins server IP address 
to the xp machines tcpip settings solved it.

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.

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 assume I am doing(or not) something extremely simple that is causing
my XP boxes to not see my linux(FC4) Samba server in the 'My Network Places'.

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
