Samba - DHCP & NAT

[Steve]

try net use \\ip address\Tester.

If that works then you need to set up your samba server or an nt server as a
WINS server.

To do this go to [global] put wins support = yes and restart smb

each workstation should be set up to look to your samba server as a wins
server through the tcp/ip properties.

Hope this helps.
