Windows didn't object to that workgroup name, but I'll take your advice and try the shorter version ... tomorrow, as it's getting rather late here ;)
My workgroup is 12 characters, and no problems.
Also, set log level = 10 in smb.conf and restart smbd. That will make the logs really chatty and can help ID the problem.
I'm starting to think it's all on Vista's side. My Windows 7 has a problem finding the networks after a while. It would find it at first, and then it stopped.
Also, just curious, I had to reboot my machine for a kernel update and when the Suse box came back up, Wndows 7 did find it. So did you try that? Maybe just restarting samba doesn't fix the master browser problem? Or you could at first completely try restarting network services? Or possibly on Vista, try a netconfig /release and see if it finds it after that?
Just some ideas I would try if I was in front of the machine helping a client, figured I would send the suggestions along.
Unfortunately, rebooting didn't work. Could you explain how I do the netconfig /release in Vista, please?
