I am less than familiar with Microsoft, so I guess it might be an FAQ... if I click on "network neighborhood" which reveals a Samba server, it shows a list of all shares. If I click on a share, I get a message "cannot find share name". Somehow this does not sound logical to me... what is wrong?

I just email to samba@lists.samba.org and my email gets to the list. If you reply to a message you received from some one in the list just make sure you email to the list as well and do not change the subject and ask a completely different question as this will mess up email the threading.> 2.

I get similar errors when I have dummy shares (ie shares in smb.conf that point to non-existent directories), check that too. However if using as PDC, the most common situation is when the samba server is not in the DNS/WINS for given machine. If it is standalone, then make sure there is no AD server in the same workgroup: it can kick out the samba server as not trusted for the domain/workgroup. You can join it into the AD as member server to fix this, and if the AD server is also dns server, it will take care of that too. All said and done, read the docs. It seems like you are missing a part of the network planning.
