I tried doing that. But, you get a chance to set it when it first fails. I've changed the computer name to the same machine name I've got on the Unix system (and in the smbpass db). That didn't solve the problem.
is the WINS SERVER ip address set to the IP of your samba server?
I've tried that also. It's not having a hard time finding the Samba box, I can see it and even browse the shares (once I log in with a user u/p) via Entire Network => Microsoft Windows Network.
I did find some errors in the logs that may relate to that though.
