R: can't see computers in net neighborhood

[Stefano Colombo]

It seems to me that you miss to configure a Wins server in your lan
I would suggest inserting
Wins support = yes
os level = 30
in your smb.conf
and configure the wins parameter in win9.x box to your Samba's IP address

  Oggetto: can't see computers in net neighborhood


  I have a linux computer running samba 2.06 stable, hosting as a roaming
profile server, file server, and a PDC for several win98 machines and a
win2k machine(minus domain).  Roaming profiles work and I can connect to the
computer if I type the address in maunally '\\hildegarde', but I cannot see
any computers in my network neighborhood.  If I turn samba off I can once
again see the computers, but, of course, loose all of my PDC functionality.
Here is my smb.conf file for reference:

  # Samba config file
  # Created by John F. Scipione
  # Date: 1999/11/29 23:21:41
  # Global parameters

  [globals]
  workgroup = workgroup
  netbios name = Hildegarde
  server string = SMB PDC using Samba %v
  security = user
  password level = 4
  os level = 65
  encrypt passwords = Yes
  smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
  domain logons = Yes
  logon script = logon.bat
  logon home = \\%N\%U
  logon drive = H:
  logon path = \\%N\profile\%U
  log file = /var/log/log.%m
  local master = Yes
  domain master = Yes
  # uncomment if you want Hildegarde to resolve netbios names
  preferred master = Yes
  case sensitive = No
  default case = lower
  preserve case = Yes
  short preserve case = No
  guest account = guest
  wins support = No
  # uncomment if you want the use lmhosts as main name resolve file.
  # name resolve order = lmhosts hosts

  [homes]
  comment = Home Directories, limit of 1 GB
  path = /home/%U
  read only = No
  browseable = No

  [netlogon]
  comment = Network Logon Service
  path = /home/netlogon
  locking = No
  guest ok = No
  browseable = Yes
  writeable = No

  [Profile]
  comment = Directory to hold Windows User Profiles
  path = /home/profile
  browseable = Yes
  writeable = Yes
  create mode = 0600
  directory mode = 0770

  [tape]
  comment = only 150MB may be stored in this share
  path = /usr/tape
  read only = No
  guest ok = Yes
  available = Yes
  browseable = Yes

  [tmp]
  comment = Temporary file space
  path = /tmp
  read only = No
  hosts allow = 192.168.0.4

  thank you for all your help, everything volded is info I think could
pertain to my problem.
