Re: [Plug] Samba Problems
|
NetBios/Lanmanager is not routed. That means that the PC's only announce
thier names/presence to their local subnet. If you want to do routed
netbios, the easiest way to do it is to setup a wins server and
configure all the clients to use it. If you're on a different network,
you'll have to use either their IP or their FQDN. This also supposes
that theres no firewall in between that blocks smb.
Give the IP address a try.
