network neighborhood problems

[Aaron Dougherty]

Here's a few things that helped me, when I ran into NN problems

1) Double check the workgroup declared in smb.conf is the same as your win95
workgroup (or winNT domain)

2) Make sure nmbd is running. (I had to restart both the Unix and NT machine
before that took)

3) Make sure you have a static IP mapping of the Linux box in your Wins
Database.

Hope that helps
