Ah, well, here is where your problem could be, remove NetBEUI from all your
PCs and see if this solves the problem. There is no need for NetBEUI so
long as all your windows machines have TCP/IP installed, and I doubt your
Linux server is routing NetBEUI packets. You don't say if you've setup
WINS
anywhere, if you haven't you should really set this up (setting 'wins
support = yes' in smb.conf will allow Samba to act as one) and tell all
your windows machines to point to that (by putting it in the WINS section
of the TCP/IP section of network control panel).
Hope this is of help,
