Hi,

I have spent many hours reading the docs and googling but cannot get 
windows to see my samba shares. I don't know where else to look. *

net view \\edev returns
The network path was not found

nbtstat -a edev returns

\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{22D5FC2D-F9B0-4D37-9E9E-4E4A95B9B212}:
Node IpAddress: [0.0.0.0] Scope Id: []

    Host not found.

Local Area Connection 2:
Node IpAddress: [192.168.1.10] Scope Id: []
