Can find linuxbox using "find" but not in neighborhood.
In windoz I can using "find computer" to find linuxbox,and windoz do indicate that it is in the specified workgroup.Also I can access it.but I can't find it in network neighborhood in the specified workgroup. Why? The following is my [global] section: workgroup=domain netbios name=ipux public=yes server string=server hosts allow=172.16. (this is our subnet) guest account=guest security=share interfaces=172.16.198.51 remote announce=172.16.198.51 (BTW,what's the diff between this and above) domain master=no wins server=202.96.203.168 What's wrong? And,another qustion.How do I know the which is the PDC of the domain I logon? Thanks!

Hey, Big Tiger, The problem may be that there is no local master browser on that subnet. Have you set 'local master = no' in addition to what you have below? If not, check the output from testparm to confirm that 'local master' is defaulting to yes. big_tiger@371.net wrote:> > In windoz I can using "find computer" to find linuxbox,and windoz do indicate > that it is in the specified workgroup.Also I can access it.but I can't find it > in network neighborhood in the specified workgroup.
