Re: [SLE] Unable to see netbios name of linux server

When I got Suse running again, it just won't broadcast it's NetBios name 'SIBMASTER' to the other computers on the network. I can see the router in 'attached devices' on my router, but it is named 'UNKNOWN NAME'. It is also only possible to connect to the server using it's IP-address.

Is nmbd running? Check the logs!

So, why isn't the name of the server broadcasted to my router or any other computer on the network?

Is nmbd running?

Any tips on what I should look for?

Check the logs! They are the admins best friends when debugging! Sandy -- List replies only please! Please address PMs to: news-reply2 (@) japantest (.) homelinux (.) com
