Hi All,

	I'm sure i'm doing something stupid, but when I search for my Linux File 
Sharing
Server (called 'linuxserver') by right clicking on My Network Places, 
Search for Computers,
and typing in the computer name, the Search returns nothing, however, if I 
search for it
via IP address, it finds the machine w/out any problems at all.  Can 
someone tell me
what i'm doing wrong in smb.conf to make it so I can can search for linux boxes
running smbd and nmbd by name?

-Bill
