Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Samba shares not present on Network Neighbourhood.

Hi, We had this too. Win NT shares are not visibly advertised (although you can still access them by using the \\Hostname\path addressing). If you configure the share to advertise as a Win '95 share, then it will be visible on Windows Explorer (Network neighborhood) SWAT will allow easy configuration.

I have the same problem here, my Linux machine running among a NT controlled domain does not appear on the browse list. I think this is because the NT machine hasn't been introduced to the Linux machine.....

If you are lucky (and I believe that it is just luck) then you will be able to type the machine name directly into the 'c:/windows' line on windows explorer. This saves having to set up a shared drive.

My machine does this, but many here don't, is this an option or is it hardcoded into whatever version of windows you have???

RUnnning SAMBA I have everything configured apart from the fact that the shares do not show up in network neighbourhood on the workstations. I can mount the sahres using 'net use' etc. Ant ideas?
