I know this has been asked before, I am looking for a possible solution to seeing a windows 95 machine from another windows 95 machine (without touching WINS, since I don't have a WINS server), I've tried sticking the following in the lmhosts of one of the machines: xxx.xxx.xx.xx netbios_name #PRE However this makes absolutely no difference, and however I try to access \\netbios_name or \\netbios_name\share it still comes up with error 53: computer name specified in network name cannot be found. When I reboot the same PC into Linux and use smbclient with the -I flag all works fine and I can do what I want. I realise that this really has absolutely nothing to do with samba, but I was wondering if anyone had found a solution to this particular problem.
