[Hitesh Sharma]

thanks Don,  for looking into the matter.
I would also like to add that I can see the icons in browser but the name is not displayed and when i click on any icon I get "network name cannot be found ".


My client is a win2k machine and when i do net view \\joy I get ...

  Hi Hitesh;
  net view \\server actually makes a connection WITH the samba server, and requests a netsharenum to get the list of shares on the server, so if you can see it with smbclient -L servername, I would expect net view \\servername to work as well.
  Can you send sample output of what you get with smbclient -L servername, and output of net view \\servername from your client, AND the os of your client (win2k, win95, winnt, whatever)?  Also a copy of your smb.conf file would be helpful...
  Thanks,
  Don

    hi all 

    I have compiled and running the latest samba (2.2.2)  cause i need ldap authentication from samba. Things are working fine but when I browse the server from a windows client I just get the icons with no name of the shares displayed. Although I do get the share names if I try "smbclient -L srever".
    Also I do not get the share name when I use " net view \\server ". Since i know the share names in my smb.conf file , If i use
    " net use M: \\server\sharename " the command completes successfully and the share gets mounted.
    I have gone through the Browsing.txt and diagnosis.txt but couldn't figure it out.

    Any ideas ??

    Hitesh
