Re: GLUG: Samba server missing

[Thomas Switala <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I experienced this problem as well. We figured out that Linux doesn't
announce it self to the domain master browser.

You have two options
	1: Set Linux as the Master browser in the /etc/smb.conf file
	   with os level = 33. (Always win the browse election) :)
	2: Set remote announce to announce to the Win machine

I'll personaly go with nr 1.
