samba - May 2005 - Browsing problem

Hi,

I am having a problem with samba 3.0.8 on fedora 3. 

I have a workgroup consisting of the fedora box and two xp machines. Same User
accounts are set up on all 3 pc's.

I can smbmount and browse the shares on one of the XP boxes from the fedora box,
but can only smbmount the shares from the other XP box. When I try to browse the
contents of the 2nd XP box from the file manager window I get a window saying
"the folder contents could not be displayed" and "you do not have
the permissions necessary to view the contents of ......etc".

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hi guys,

I've just upgraded from Debian Woody to Sarge, that involved upgrading my
working Samba setup to version 3.0.14. With no changes to my config file, I
now find that my windows machines cannot correctly browse the network. They
can open shares on the linux box if I do Start -> Run
\\ip.address.of.machine but the browse list isn't showing up.

The samba server is correctly becoming the master browser, is a WINS server,
and the windows clients are set to use this WINS server.

Can anyone offer any assistance? The appropriate portion of smb.conf is
below. If any more information would be helpful, please let me know.

Many thanks

Andy
