[aclug-L] Samba problems

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, I'm having problems with Samba and am not really sure what to do.

I've got a Samba server up and running now, and I have my Win95 OSR2 client. 
The Win95 client can see the server with the command:

        C:\> net view \\zeppelin

However, I cannot see the server when I use:

        C:\> net view /workstation:music

The latter of these commands DOES show the workstation (nirvana).  I have
told the Samba server to act as a WINS server (as suggested by the
BROWSING.txt document in /usr/doc/samba-doc).  I have verified that both
machines are in the same workgroup.

What am I missing?

I got this to work once before... long ago... and with only one Windows 95
machine (other '95 machines on the network still couldn't see the server in
the workgroup).

I hope I'm missing something obvious.
