Re: [Samba] Still no browse list and no help!

you can keep asking but the answer will always be the same - to browse
the network, you will want a wins server.

either this system...
wins support = yes

or another WinNT type server
wins server = ip_address_of_wins_server

and of course, the windows machines should have the ip address set for
the wins server that is operational - either manually or through dhcp

also - it helps to trim all the comments out of an smb.conf - either
manually (the hard way) or by using
'testparm -s > /tmp/smb.conf.no.comments'
or
'testparm -sv > /tmp/smb.conf.no.comments.all.attributes

I can share files with others machines but don't see anything on network neighborhood. We use the OpenBSD 3.6 box with Samba 2.2 only for DNS and Wins.
