Ok, first of all, the first machine I was able to get Samba working on
flawlessly, it shows up in network neighborhood, I can double click on
it to get access to my linux box, etc. This second machine is set up
the same WAY (except for the NetBIOS name, IP's etc), however, it cannot
be seen in Network Neighborhood at all, and if I do smbclient -L localhost
<enter> and <enter> at the password prompt, this is what is
displayed:
Password:

Now on the machine which I cannot find via network neighborhood I get this
from the same command:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.5]

on each machine, eth0 on the machine which works has an ip of xxx.yyy.zzz.25
eth0 on the machine which does not show up has xxx.yyy.zzz.15,
eth1 of the machine which shows up in network neighborhood has a private
ip of 192.168.3.1, and eth1 of the machine which does not show up has a
ip of 192.168.7.1
I also got an i/o error from samba 2.0.5 after I had mounted a NT server
share (inet_server_1)\C$ which returned an smbfs-retry (error code = -3)
which forced me to reboot the machine (it hung during shutdown, btw)...
(this issue has me more concerned, as we are attempting to get wintendo
servers out, and linux servers in as production machines) :-)
Any ideas (i'm also cross posting this to the Samba mailing list)
