[Samba] Samba and internet!

[Christoph Scheeder]

Hi,
i would guess you have problems with name-resolution in DNS and/or WINS.
Either configure a local dns-server for your subnet on the
samba-machine(s) or setup the hosts/lmhosts files on all your machines
to show all other machines in the subnet.
