Hi,

I have trying to get samba working so I can map a new network drive on my
Windows 2000 box through to my linux box.  So far I have installed and setup
a really basic configuration and have started the samba server.  I can
successfully logon from with the linux box so at least I know the server is
working.  However, I still cannot see the linux box in the network
neighbourhood and cannot work out why?

How can I test to see if the linux box is visible from the windows box.  I
have tried:

net use f: \\<linuxbox>\share

and this gives:

"The remote computer is not available"

I have the following in my smb.conf file:

[global]
  workgroup = Workgroup
  server string = Linux Box
  interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
  security = share
  encrypt passwords = yes

[temp]
  path = /tmp
  read only = no
  guest ok = yes

I am using samba version 2.2.0 on SuSE 7.2

Can anyone help me work out why I cannot see the linuc box from Windows
2000?

Thanks

Dan
