Re: [SLUG] Trouble with Samba configuration

run the command "net view \\linuxsmbserver" where "\\linuxsmbserver" is the
netbios name of your linux server running samba.

If you get "The network path was not found" or a similar error, then try the
command "net view \\xx.xx.xx.xx" where "xx.xx.xx.xx" is the IP address of
the linux server. If this fails, then making the samba a WINS server will
not help. If the shares are displayed making the samba server a WINS server
and forcing all windows machines to use it can help.

If you get "access denied" then it is just an access control issue.
