[Gllug] Browsing a SAMBA machine from Windoze

[Richard Jones]

Hi:

I've just added a W2K server machine to my network. I've got Samba
running on my other machines, and I want the W2K server to be able to
see the other machines and access files on them.  Easy enough? Ha ha ...

So far I've got the Samba configuration below on one machine. I can
now explicitly mount \\linux\rich and \\linux\tmp (I have to manually
type a password, which is a pain, but it works).

But I can't get the machine to be listed in the "Network
neighbourhood" at all. It just doesn't appear there ...

What am I doing wrong?

Rich.

PS. Setting 'os level' doesn't make things work, but it does slow down
the process of mounting drives a lot.
