My suggestion would be to configure your samba system, which I'm guessing has
not been done since the workgroup is still set to 'Mdrgroup'.
I don't run Mandrake, by I assume that it has SWAT running on
http://localhost:901. If not, enable SWAT. Under RedHat, you need to edit
/etc/xinit.d/swat. Not sure about Mandrake.
Once in SWAT (login to SWAT as root) configure the workgroup. (It is under the
Globals section). The SWAT utility comes with extensive inbuilt online
documentation. Read it.
If you have any further questions, I suggest posting to samba at lists.samba.org,
as that is the correct list for samba related questions. However, I suggest
reading the posting guidelines at
http://au1.samba.org/samba/ml-etiquette.html (or some closer mirror) first.
Cheers,
Rasjid.
