[NTLUG:Discuss] Samba Configuration

[Chris Cox]

Make sure nmbd is running (Netbios).
Check the log.nmb.
What host was the browse master when you did a smbclient -L?
Did you show up in that list?
What WORKGROUP is the Linux box in?  Have you tried looking
at the Entire Network in the Network Neighborhood?

And of course... are the Windows hosts configured to use
TCP/IP networking.

Just some things to look at...
