Hi Georg,
I have several Samba, NT workstation networks. The NT network
neighborhood will disappear if the "guest" account gets bumped.
Add (and modify to taste) the following lines to your [global]
section of smb.conf:
guest account = pcguest
log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m
max log size = 50 ; size in Kb
Then go to /var/log samba-log.[nt name] and check
your errors. It will show if your guest account is
getting bumped. (I added an entry to /etc/smbpasswd
for pcguest to cure mine.)
Good luck,
--Tony
