| Hi all,
|
| I use suse linux 9 with samba.3.0.2
|
| In the smb.conf among others there are:
|
| ----------------------------------------------------------
| ;basic server settings
| workgroup = NIK
| server string = SZERVER
| socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
| wins support = yes
| name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast
| ----------------------------------------------------------
|
| It is okay, testparm do not mark errors.
|
| But when I try to join to my samba from XP in expolrer \\SZERVER, it
do not
| work. WINS is setuped in XP.
|
| In yast2, my linux's netbios name: linux9, and I try to connect
\\linux9, it
| works! WHY?
|
| What is wrong?
|
| Thanks,
|
| Roland
|
| ps:
| In lmhosts there is:
| ----------------------------------------------------------
| 172.0.0.1	SZERVER
| ----------------------------------------------------------

server string is just a comment on Network Neighborhood. If you want
your server to bee called SZERVER in NETBIOS, use:
~ netbios name = SZERVER
in your smb.conf

Cheers,

Geza
