Hello On a Ubuntu host, I changed the "netbios name" setting in smb.conf, and ran "restart nmbd; restart smbd". Now, when I type "net view" in XP, I can still see the old name, and running "net view \\new-name" doesn't work. Is there a command that must be used in Windows to reset things? Is it some kind of cache that expires after a while? Thank you.

No biggie, though.
