You can edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, and change the workgroup name there - that will allow you AS A CLIENT to browse your Windows network - now, on the other hand, when you want to use the linux box as a server/peer to the Windows network, there are some other modifications that need to be made in Samba...but for client browsing, that will do you. -- Fri Dec 27 02:50:00 EST 2002 2:50am up 1 day, 17:35, 5 users, load average: 0.67, 0.39, 0.34 -- |____ | kuhn media australia| | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | | ;/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389| | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | -- * linux user:267497 * RH 7.3+ * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting -- That boy's about as sharp as a pound of wet liver -- Foghorn Leghorn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
