[Samba] Cannot see the samba server in Network Neighbourhood

[Noel Kelly]

It would be helpful if you could post you smb.conf and let us know what role
the Samba machine is taking in the network. Sounds like the Samba machine
could be set to be a wins server but is being usurped by another server?

Also check your nmbd log file and check nmbd is actually running.

Hi
I am a newbie to samba after taking over from a previous administrator.

I have upgraded to the version that ships with SuSE linux 8.0 and copied 
over the old smb.config and smbpasswd files.

I can see the shares from a remote SWAT connection and also using the 
interactive method via a DOS window, but cannot get the shares to be 
seen via Network Neighbourhood.  I am thinking that this may be a 
NetBios problem, but cannot pinpoint it.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.
