can't get in Network Neighborhood - need help

[Greg J. Pinto]

I saw this message posted while I was catching up on previous digests.
We've had similar problems with Samba machine showing up in the Network
Browser.  Some would, while others (running the same version and
virtually identical smb.conf files) wouldn't.  About a month ago I saw a
post on here about the length of the Server Description tag in the
smb.conf causing this problem.  I shortened the length and a lo' and
behold, the server was now appearing in the Browse lists on our Windoze
hosts.  Not sure if this was already relayed to you, but I didn't see it
in subsequent digests.
