I'm learning Samba and I really appreciate somebody out there can help me out. I'm using RedHat advanced server and a windows 2000. I created a workgroup on samba and only samba machine and win2k machine are members. I shared the printer attached to the Linux. From win2k PC, I can see the workgroup, but I can not find the samba host from the workgroup, nor does the printer. The smb.conf is attached.
I run smbclient -NL <hostname> and it shows the printer under the Sharename.
If I run net view //<hostname>, it returns that: "System error 53 has occured, the network pass was not found"
I setup the samba 2 days ago, and the same problem happened then and now. BTW, I can mount a windows share from Linux, so I guess samba is running.
Thanks and merry Christmas.
