[Samba] Samba shares no longer visible

[Jason W. Lewis]

Rowland,
Thanks for getting back with me.  Fortunately, I was able to fix the problem.  I started noticing bits in some of the messages coming off Samba that it wasn't in a domain, or at least I didn't think so.  It looks like another admin may have removed domain info from smb.conf.  Putting that in got the server working again.

    Have you tried restarting Samba ?
    What OS ?
    How are you running Samba ?
    I know you say nothing has changed on the Samba server, but has
    anything changed externally ?
    New router or windows updates etc ?
