[Samba] win2003 access smb share

[Matt Richards]

i would of thought that would be a problem with the server not being 
able to resolv the samba name
what does ..  ping samba from XP and 2k3 show ?

If you run a wins server like the win2k3 server i would just add a 
mapping for samba to the ip addr of the samba server .. or
if you have a dns suffix of say hello.com setup then adding a dns entry 
of samba.hello.com should allow them to resolv it when they contact samba

or you could just shove an entry in your hosts file on your server lol.
