Add the following to the [global] section of smb.conf: netbios name = linuxbox wins support = yes
That way when samba sees a WINS broadcast packet saying "will linuxbox please tell me its IP address?" it will respond with "I'm right here!"* - Doug *(actual contents of packets may vary) -----Original Message----- From: dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 20 January 2003 1:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] SAMBA Hi, I have trying to get samba working so I can map a new network drive on my Windows 2000 box through to my linux box. So far I have installed and setup a really basic configuration and have started the samba server. I can successfully logon from with the linux box so at least I know the server is working. However, I still cannot see the linux box in the network neighbourhood and cannot work out why? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
