hi folks, i have a NT machine and a linux(samba) server connected via ethernet. 1) i read the smb howto, but it seems that in my case i need a [public] section for the linux-shares to be seen on my NT-client. if i specify a [global], [printers] and [homes] section the way described in the smb.howto, i don't see anything on the NT client's explorer. only if i specify a [public] section and restart smbd, the rest of my shares can be seen on the client. why?
2) i cannot see my linux-machine in the network environment of NT, although both machines have the same subnet mask and live in the same workgroup (at least i specified "workgroup = Workgroup" in [global] of smb.conf and "Workgroup" in the NT's Network setup. But if i search for the linux computer using it's IP-adress, the NT client finds him and i can browse the shares defined in smb.conf. But i also want to see him in the explorer's network-environment ;(((. Please help.
