SAMBA digest 2517

Hello,

Check the Workgroup name on the NT machine's Network Properties.  That will cause the symptoms you describe.  I don't know if that's your problem, but it's worth a shot.

The above PC-LAN guy claims to have the network stuff configured exactly like our own NT4SP3 machine, but it doesn't work.  The TCP/IP part works, and Find Computer works (by NetBIOS name).  (I have my 2.0.5 samba box set as browse-master/WINS server)
