smb.conf
hi folks,
i have a NT machine and a linux(samba) server connected via ethernet.
1) i read the smb howto, but it seems that in my case i need a [public]
section for the linux-shares to be seen on my NT-client. if i specify a
[global], [printers] and [homes] section the way described in the smb.howto, i
don't see anything on the NT client's explorer. only if i specify a [public]
section and restart smbd, the rest of my shares can be seen on the client.
why?
2) i cannot see my linux-machine in the network environment of NT, although
both machines have the same subnet mask and live in the same workgroup (at
least i specified "workgroup = Workgroup" in [global] of smb.conf and
"Workgroup" in the NT's Network setup. But if i search for the linux computer
using it's IP-adress, the NT client finds him and i can browse the shares
defined in smb.conf. But i also want to see him in the explorer's
network-environment ;(((. Please help.
Thanx
rob
