you can keep asking but the answer will always be the same - to browse the network, you will want a wins server.
either this system... wins support = yes or another WinNT type server wins server = ip_address_of_wins_server and of course, the windows machines should have the ip address set for the wins server that is operational - either manually or through dhcp also - it helps to trim all the comments out of an smb.conf - either manually (the hard way) or by using 'testparm -s > /tmp/smb.conf.no.comments' or 'testparm -sv > /tmp/smb.conf.no.comments.all.attributes Craig On Wed, 2005-02-02 at 10:28 -0800, Marvin Bonilla wrote: > Unable to resolve my problem after long time of reading and searching I > decide to ask for help to the experts.
