I'm fairly new to Samba but I'll throw in my .5 cent in, I would disable
nmbd and map the app to the static ip of the samba machine.

Subject: [Samba] Hiding shares and/or their contents from Windows
Explorer

Is anyone of aware of any known problems with Samba 2.2.2 and Windows
95, 
dealing with hiding shares and/or their content from Windows Explorer?
We 
need to map these shares so our application can function properly...but
the 
shares and/or their content should never be accessible via Windows 
Explorer.  We have browseable = no for the shares.  We also tried the 
"hide"option, but the user can simply change Windows Explorer setting to

view hidden files.  It was suggested we consider poledit, but the option
to 
hide drives is "all or nothing", meaning we'd have to hide C drive too 
(which we don't want).  I looked into TweakUI, but the changes are only 
temporary and reset to original setting after restarting Windows 95.
Any 
suggestions would be appreciated.   Thanks.
