Browsing works, but not graphically

Thu Mar 30 02:13:00 GMT 2000

I know browsing is an old topic, but I've not seemed to find out what is
causing my problem.  Browsing seems to work from the command line, but not
graphically.

Complaint:
  inside of windows, mug does not show up on the browse list, but allows
  connections.

Environment:
se-ntserver is a NT Server on domain SE-NTNET 128.143.6.*
mug is linux on 128.143.6.* (running samba 2.0.6)
  vmware running win98 as Mugwin on SE-NTNET inside of mug , getting a
    dhcp address of 128.143.6.170

Symptoms:
mug#  testparm               # works fine
mug#  smbclient -L mug -U%   # works fine
c:>net view \\mug            # also works fine

Mugwin is able to map drives to mug and se-ntserver, and a number of
other windows machines show up on the explorer list and in the network
neighborhood, but Mugwin Does not show up in the network neighborhood, and
neither does mug.

Below is a diff of my smc.conf file from the smb.conf.default

Both DIAGNOSIS.txt and
http://us2.samba.org/samba/oreilly/using_samba/ch09_02.html seem to say I
have no problem with browsing, since their tests work, but I am still not
seeing my machines in the graphical browse lists.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Has anyone a suggestion?

Dave.
