Ever since installing Fedora 7, samba stopped showing the machine on the
network. I can connect to it by entering the machine name (\\lazarus),
but it will not show itself from a Windows machine. I tried a command
suggested to test if it was listening and this is what I got;
$ smbclient -L localhost -U%
Domain=[LAZARUS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-2.fc7]

IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server Version
3.0.25b-2.fc7)
Domain=[LAZARUS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-2.fc7]

Notice there is nothing shown under 'Server', 'Comment', 'Workgroup', or
'Master'. Does this suggest anything? In this case, the smb.conf was
directly from samba-guide.pdf.
