by Hi there,
I am a newbie to Samba and I really need help to have my linux box (SuSE
8.0) on my home network, which is Windows XP Professional machines. It's
just a peer to peer network and domain name is "WORKGROUP".
My Samba is the latest one: 2.2.5 version that I downloaded yesterday,
compiled and installed.
My linux box's host name is "YMSAMBA" as you can see below.
In my smb.conf, I set "netbios name" as "YMSAMBA".
Please check out my smb.conf and tell me what I did wrong with it because I
keep getting "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME " error all
the time and my linux box could be seen on the network.
Your help is much appreciated.
Sincerely,
YM

I am using smbclient to test the configuration.
I was fine with "testparm" and my parameters in smb.conf are fine.
