David, Have you checked the Samba-Guide.pdf? That is the book "Samba-3 by Example" and can be downloaded from http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf Chapters 1- 3 should get you started and over this obstacle. The cause of your problem is that your Windows clients are not able to resolve the netbios name of the samba server to its IP address. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide, ISBN: 0131453556 Samba-3 by Example, ISBN: 0131472216 Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 OpenLDAP by Example, ISBN: 0131488732 Other books in production. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
