Samba Name Broadcast Problem

[Mike Kobzeff]

I actually just figured out what the problem was. I had my subnet mask wrong
on my Samba box (DUH!). I am using 255.255.255.0 for my local LAN, but my
Samba box was configured with 255.0.0.0.

Perhaps this may also be the cause of your problem..

Hope this helps!

My configuration is slightly different, however I have the same problem. I
cannot seem to get any of the NT/Win95/88 boxes to see the Linux Box.

Just another voice in the darkness...
