[Samba] Windows 7 can't see Pi Samba server

[DavidA]

Hi

Here's some more info about my problem:

==========================================

log.nmbd contains:

  Samba name server RPHS is now a local master browser for workgroup HOME on 
subnet 192.168.2.8

  *****
[2015/12/12 20:48:19.709456,  0]

  *****

  Samba name server RPHS has stopped being a local master browser for 
workgroup HOME on subnet 192.168.2.8

==========================================


RPHS is the rpi. BELSIE-PC is the pc which does not show the rpi.

The Domain Master Browser seems to change frequently. Is this significant?

Best regards

David

Hi Rowland

Thanks for the suggestion. I disabled Kaspersky Internet Security Firewall
and Windows Firewall but still can't see the rpi.

I can, however, see the other Windows laptops (with firewall on or off).

Any other thoughts please?

David
