The machines could see each other. The problem was the samba server didn't have access to a DNS server. If not, try using "wins support = Yes" in the global section of your smb.conf file. Restart your Samba server, then point all your clients to the IP address of your Samba server for their WINS configuration (under the TCP/IP properties --> advanced --> WINS tab). You should only need 1 entry for the WINS server, make sure that "Enable NETBIOS over TCP/IP" is checked on. I tried all the options you listed, but until the Samba server (a freebsd machine) did not have access to a DNS server nothing worked. Interestingly enough even if the windows machines did not have access to a DNS server it still worked. I fail to see how Samba needs access to a DNS server in order to work, specially since none of the clients have DNS entries. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
