Ah, it might be to do with workgroup configuration. Try removing samba with 'apt-get remove --purge samba samba-common' and adding the following to your home directory: ~/.smb/smb.conf WORKGROUP = <workgroup> (You could also just copy your smb.conf file from /etc/samba before you purge it, too.) - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2005: Canberra, Australia http://linux.conf.au/ "It is said that there are only six jokes in the world, and I can assure you that we can only broadcast three of them..." - John Watt, the BBC's Head of Variety in the 30's -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
