WINS is. Unfornunately, I have my Samba server offline at the moment or I'd be able to post the particulars from my conf file, but you must set up WINS and also set the "lottery" (I wish I could remember it's name) conf entry to 64 so that the linux machine beats out all others to become the primary WINS server. I have found that it also helps on the M$ side to type in the server name in Explorer vs. clicking down through for the first connect. Don't ask me why, but it seems to work for me sometimes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-nr2 (Windows XP) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAK9e26QPtAqft/S8RAruEAKDm1afsuGGXoEAtU0vc61wFIOw9TQCfdoe3 Bbo0dbxZSF8j6g1YS2bThoc= =K0Wl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Attachment:
