As far as I know, network utilities in Windows work with netbios so you can execute the ping command to a machine with his netbios name. Your setup looks well... perhaps your browse list in /var/lib/samba/wins.dat isn't fully populated or has incorrect info. You can try to stop Samba, delete that file and restart it and se how is being populated. -- Asier. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
