I cannot see my Linux box running Samba to print or access files. The
output of "smbclient -U% -L localhost" seems to indicate I should see
one share and one printer: (the ...0.250 ip address is for my DSL
connection, the ...0.2 is for my LAN)
added interface ip=192.168.0.250 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Domain=[ALTAREGOS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.8a-SuSE]

When I open the domain from a Windows client (2000 or XP) I can not see
the host name in the list of hosts, nor can I print to the printer.
Here's my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = ALTAREGOS
netbios name = tigger
encrypt passwords = yes
browseable = yes
[download]
comment = Downloads directory
guest ok = yes
path = /downloads/
read only = no
[lj4p]
guest ok = yes
path = /var/tmp/lj4p
printable = yes
Any help would be appreciated.
