Is the nmbd deamon started on ads1 and ads2? Can you access share when
typing \\ads1\other in address bar of explorer on DRS2?

Subject: [Samba] Cannot see linux machines from XP
I'll try to spell out the problem as best I can.
There are three computers on a LAN, "ADS1", "ADS2" and "DRS2".
ADS1 and ADS2 run samba-3.5.8-76.fc14.i686 under Fedora 14.
DRS2 runs Windows XP professional, SP3.
Each of them can successfully ping all the others by name.
They are all in the same WORKGROUP (GAMMA5).
The Fedora machines (ADS1, ADS2) can see all three machines (including
the XP machine) in their Network places, and in the Windows Network,
and can successfully read and write designated shared files on the all
the other machines (including the XP machine).
The Windows machine (DRS2) cannot even see the linux machines in its
network places. (It sees only itself, DRS2 in the WORKGROUP GAMMA5)
Naturally, therefore, it cannot see files on the linux machines.
Where do I start to solve this?
Thanks in advance for you help.
