SAMBA Unseen!!!

[Jan-Pieter van den Heuvel]

Hi,

I think that setting up your Samba machine as a WINS server would solve the
problem. Add the following line to your smb.conf in the global section:

wins support = yes

I've spent the last four days battling it out with samba and WinME. I'm
hoping that someone
may have some insight.

Four machines altogether.

1) FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
2) Windows ME
3) Windows 98 SE
4) Windows 95a

(the samba setup is exactly the same at another location, with the only
difference being that
there is only the windows ME machine and the freebsd machine)

--TCP network--
The network itself works beautifully. Every machine can ping itself and
all the other machines.
They can all ping outside the network, that is, the internet. Name
resolution is working as it
should. FTP, ssh (on the bsd machine), and every other service seems to be
working as they
should.

--Windows network--
Machines number 3 and 4 can see and connect/mount each other's shares.
Machine number 2 cannot see the network , but can mount the shares on
machines number 3 and 4.
The machine cannot see nor connect/mount machine number 1.
Machine number 1 can see and mount (through smbfs) all of the other
machines, but not itself.

Machine number 1 is setup w /ipfw and natd (using the default OPEN
option), as well as samba 2.2.2

Does anyone have any ideas or have seen this before? If you have, is there
something I can do to
fix this (other than get rid of Windows)?
