Hello everyone

I have 2 machines on a (Home) LAN; one linux(192.168.0.1) & the other
Win-XP(192.168.0.2); connected via hub.

I just set up samba on my Suse10.2 KDE Desktop box (I pasted the
contents of /etc/samba/smb.conf below)

I can access Linux shares from the XP box, but cant access XP shares
from the SuSE box (well... not easily to be precise)

The first machine is named 'magicbox' & the second machine 'magicbox-2'
and they belong to the workgroup 'LANLINK'.

>From KDE desktop I click Network Browsing > SMB Shares > Lanlink >
magicbox-2; but I an error message

Could not connect to host for smb://magicbox-2/

So I tried typing into the location bar myself

smb://192.168.0.2/

and I could see (& access) all the shared directories on the XP box

Can anybody please explain what is going on??

Thanks
Emon

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
