Re: [PLUG] samba weirdness
|
In my experience with samba if you can't see your Linux box in Network
Neighborhood but you can access it by Start->Run->\\my_linux_box, then it is
a name resolution problem (ie, WINS). I use swat to manipulate my smb.conf
file and the "wins support" setting is at the bottom of the "Globals" tab.
Once you enable it restart samba on the "status" tab. In the future if
things aren't showing up in Network Neighborhood try restarting nmbd on the
"status" tab to get it to show up (or you could wait for WINS to refresh).
