Hi!
Situation:
I've had a computer with SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional setup with samba (ver 2.2.3a) that run just fine. The hostname of the computer was thunderbird and I could access all the shares with my Microshaft Windoze Explorer (from w2k) by just typing \\thunderbird\sharename\ and everything worked.
Just the smb.conf:
[global]
map to guest = Bad User
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
workgroup = Arbeitsgruppe
client code page = 850
character set = ISO8859-15
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
guest account = Nobody
wins support = true
os level = 2
[data$]
path = /data
writeable = yes
public = yes
[mp3]
path = /data/mp3
public = yes
guest only = yes
Now I've decided to setup my linux computer with Mandrake 9.1. I've edited the smb.conf to exactly the same like above (and yes, all directories exist; smbd -V: 2.2.7a). Problem is: If I type \\thunderbird\ into my windows explorer he says "can't access \\thunderbird. Networkpath not found" (or something like that; message in German if it helps "Auf \\Thunderbird kann nicht zugegriffen werden. Der Netzwerkpfad wurde nicht gefunden.") I can access it via ip (\\192.168.1.2\) but that makes me not happy.
During the install of Mandrake I was asked about a hostname and a zeroconf-hostname. Everywhere I entered thunderbird.
Does anybody know why this doesn't work?
