All, It seems that seeing a samba server on a windows network neighborhood browse list is often a problem. I finally figured out that the # smb.conf extract: null passwords = yes that I had in there prevented the windows machines from seeing it. changing it to: # smb.conf extract: null passwords = no made the machine appear in the browse list. Although I do not remember why I had null passwords = yes in my file, I saw no mention of this as a potential "network neighborhood" browsing problem. Am I missing something? Perhaps it would be nice to mention this in DIAGNOSIS Test #11 Dave. -- Dave Forrest dforrest@virginia.edu (804)296-7283h 924-3954w http://mug.sys.virginia.edu/~drf5n/
