samba - Aug 2005 - Samba Stopped Connecting on Me and I don't know why

Hello All,

I am having a problem trying to ger Samba wot work again.  It was 
working a few days ago and now it has stopped. My OpenVPN is working 
just fine  but Samba does not seem to find the names.

I was also trying to set it up so that the users could browse to our 
PeoplesQuest workgroup after which they could login to their account.

Don't set this netbioa name and workgroup to
be the same value.  I don't know if this is
exactly what is causing your problems, but I
would clean it up first.





cheers, jerry
