Greetings,

I have setup a computer to act as a  'samba-server'.  The machine has these:-
--cpu: amd64
--OS: cblfs linux
--samba-3.6.0  compiled from sources in /usr/local/samba

The clients are windows 7 clients.  They can  only see the server as its IP-
address not a name/hostname.  


QUESTION:
--------
Are there entries to be made in smb.conf to enable the smbserver to be seen as 
its hostname/or-any-other-name rather than by its IPaddress?

suggestions welcomed

suincerely
