Strange browsing problem . PLEASE HELP !!

[Steve Litt]

If I read this correctly you can map a drive to a share but cant see it in
Network Neighborhood, and that this is intermittent.

While Network Neighborhood is displaying the symptom, see if these display
the browse:

Linux:
smbclient -NL servername

Windows:
net view \\servername

Win9x
net view /workgroup:workgroupname

WinNT
net view /domain:workgroupname

Also, look thru log.nmb and see if your Samba server has become the subnet
browser. If not, problems with browsing are likely.
