I tried doing that.  But, you get a chance to set it when it first 
fails.  I've changed the computer name to the same machine name I've got 
on the Unix system (and in the smbpass db).  That didn't solve the problem.

I've tried that also.  It's not having a hard time finding the Samba 
box, I can see it and even browse the shares (once I log in with a user 
u/p) via Entire Network => Microsoft Windows Network.

I did find some errors in the logs that may relate to that though.

Here's the machine's log:

<note the PC's username is app160, same user in Unix and SMB>


tail -f /var/log/samba/log.app160

   Failed to modify entry.

Here was a similar error before I changed its name.

Not sure of its relationship to this particular problem.
