According to the smb.conf man file, both available and browseable are defaulted to yes. I did put browseable = yes nad available = yes into the smb.conf file, and set the workgroup, but still no luck. Anyone else have any hints or experienced this before? Bob
Can you ping your samba server. If can then you have to check if you can ping the mashine(s) withs have to see samba server. And another thing, try dignostics.txt. It is in /usr/doc/samba-*/ In case you can find it write me and I will e-mail you this file. ººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººº Regards to You all from Igor Colovic Europe, Yugoslavia, Belgrade cigor@EUnet.yu DeplhiPro@yahoo.com http://members.tripod.com/~Colovic_Igor/index.html -----Original Message----- From: Bob Kruger <bkruger@mindspring.com> To: Igor Colovic <cigor@EUnet.yu>; samba@samba.anu.edu.au <samba@samba.anu.edu.au> Date: Thursday, 18 June, 1998 14:34 PM Subject: Re: Samba Server Icon diseppearing>At 09:15 AM 6/18/98 +0200, you wrote: > > >>>Is there something that I might have missed in the smb.conf file thatmight>>>prevent the actual server icon from showing up? >>> >>>Thanks in advance for any assistance. >>> >>>Bob >>> >>> >>Have you set browseable = yes in smb.conf.

Example: Server NetBios name - SERVER Workgroup = OFFICE The server is working properly from a functional standpoint. If I drop to the Dos windows of Win95, and type "NET VIEW \\SERVER. I can use the NET command to remap drives, etc. Once remapped, I can see the remapped directory from the Windows explorer just fine. However, if I do "NET VIEW /workgroup:OFFICE" the server does not show up. If I go to the Network neighborhood and look in Workgroup OFFICE, I do not see server. In the smb.conf file, I have enabled Workgroup = OFFICE. It does sporadically show up in the "Network Neighboorhood" on the Win 95 machines, but then disappears. What I would like to determine is what is causing the icon to disappear, and what can I do to keep it there permanantly. Regards - Bob Kruger
