[Samba] New installation does not show on network
Ever since installing Fedora 7, samba stopped showing the machine on the network. I can connect to it by entering the machine name (\\lazarus), but it will not show itself from a Windows machine. I tried a command suggested to test if it was listening and this is what I got; $ smbclient -L localhost -U% Domain=[LAZARUS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-2.fc7] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- docs Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server Version 3.0.25b-2.fc7) Domain=[LAZARUS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-2.fc7] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- Notice there is nothing shown under 'Server', 'Comment', 'Workgroup', or 'Master'. Does this suggest anything? In this case, the smb.conf was directly from samba-guide.pdf. # Global Parameters [global] workgroup = MIDEARTH security = SHARE [Plans] path = /plans read only = Yes guest ok = Yes Regards, Durwin
