As you can browse from one windows 7 client, but not from the other, this tends to suggest that the Samba machine is working correctly. You need to compare the two windows 7 machines, there must be a difference between them, I am fairly sure that this is a windows problem. Rowland
Hi I'm still struggling with this problem. Here is my situation: I have two Windows 7 laptops, call them A and B, and a Raspberry Pi Samba server on a home network, all with the same workgroup name. The Pi's name is RPHS. A and B can see each other (their names appear under Network in Explorer on both laptops). Both A and B can access the Pi if I specify the IP Address in Explorer. The Pi's name appears only in A (under Network). On B, if I execute: nbtstat -a RPHS I get 'Host not found'. (On A RPHS is resolved correctly). I don't understand Windows networking well enough to debug this. Should I be using NetBios? Should I be using WINS? If yes/no, how do I enable/disable them? I would greatly appreciate some help. I am close to pulling my hair out!
