I had a few win9x machines on the same subnet as my openBSD samba server (they were all on 192.168.0.*). I changed the samba server's IP to a public one with all the rest of the servers. I could ping and ssh the samba box, but nothing showed up in network neighborhood and "net view" wouldn't return anything. I made the samba box the WINS server (wins suppport = yes) and configured the win9x machines, so "net view" and manual typing (i.e. typing \\server-name in the address box) worked. However, the samba server still does not show up in network neighborhood. please CC all replies to me, i don't subscribe to the list. thank you.
