You might try adding it to your XP's hosts file,
also. This is located in the same place as your
lmhosts file; it has slightly different
uses. Also, you might ensure that this other
NetBIOS name and IP address are listed in your
Linux box's hosts file. A lot of things in your
network get gutsed up when your Linux box comes
up, and it gets its initial data from, among other places, its hosts file.

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,

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

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

I assume I am doing(or not) something extremely simple that is causing

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
