My Primary system has a failing mech. So I took a donated system and another hard drive I had for backup and assembled it to be a Samba server, to back up my stuff to (manually) and use it as a file server. I only set up Samba once before and found my problem on the WIndows side (lm announce) and now am having a different problem. When you open Local Network from the desktop, I get unable to find any workgroups in your network. I would like to get my server named Samba to show up. I have an old Windows system that I will be bringing back from a relatives (my old gaming rig) and a newer gaming rig that will be set up in this network. But more and more of my machines are Linux. I know nmb and smb are running, and guest browsable is set to yes. I thought that was all I needed for that. TIA Randal

You do not say what the primary machine is running and whether it is a domain controller or not, but by using the word "Primary" I assume it is a domain controller.
Be aware that Samba cannot act as a backup domain controller to a windows domain controller. At least, that was last I checked, someone pleas let is know if that's changed. As for browsing the net, run the samba-client module in Yast, and make sure the lisa daemon is started: /etc/init.d/lisa start -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za
