| Thanks for your reply,
|
| My setup is 2 Windoze machines (ME and XP) and a SUSE 8.2 machine, I want
| the SUSE Machine to work as a workgroup server so it will be the WINS
| server for the network. Hard coding the IP address of the SUSE machine
| allows the 2 windoze machines to logon and set up shares under SAMBA, the
| only thing that doesn't happen is that the SUSE server isn't seen in the
| network browser. I know its a minor problem, but I would like to get it
| right in case this is a sympton of something more serious with my setup.
|
| As I said originally, I think its more of a SUSE specific problem rather
| than SAMBA.

| Thanks

| To contact me go to
http://home.wulfrun.com/zebedee/contact.html
its a windows netbios/samba configuration issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=188001
change the options to this:
wins support = yes
(removed)
(removed)
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 64
workgroup = <your workgroup/domain name>
netbios name = <your SuSE server name>
server string = <description of server>
Reload the configuration (/etc/init.d/smb restart)
Then wait 5-10 minutes for all the machines to re-elect and everything
should show up just fine.
