Hello! I've got some more infos now... I'm loggin in to the linux box over ttyS1 (getty in inittab with options -L /dev/ttyS1 115200 network) with the windows dialup. The dialup networking uses a "modem emulation" inf (see attachment) for the serial line. Now, the problem seems to be that the workgroup doesn't appear. I can get to all other net places (see below) but not to the workgroup in the network neighbourhood. But, if I rerun smbd -D and nmbd -D, and then logoff at the win box and log back on (I'm using diplogini), there is a very good chance that I see the workgroup properly than. That were only the results from some experiments. Maybe this helps finding my configuration problem.
