samba - Jan 2002 - Samba on Sol7 vs. Slackware8 - Domain/Server problem

Let me start by saying Network Neighborhood is a waste of time. That said
people like it so I must get it working.

I have setup the Slackware 8 machine as a WINS server and everything looks
good. The domain appears to the clients, the clients appear within the
domain. Only nit is the clients (they are running XP) don't see one
another but they do see the server and themselves.

The Solaris 7 machine is using the exact same version of Samba and a
virtually identical smb.conf file. Here the server works if you directly
address it, and the domain appears in network neighborhood. However the
server doesn't appear within the domain when you browse on the domain.
'net view /domain:gfo' yields a message that says something like There
is
nothing in the list.

Any more ideas?

	Yup, and it's *#$#$!#!!% probabalistic, too.

	Go to http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch09_02.html
	and run through the tests from the beginning (it
	takkse about 10 minutes) to make sure that all
	the hidden prerequisites are covered.

	Tell us what it turned out to be, please, and
	I'll pass on suggestions or updates to the
	maintainers (me, for one!)
