This is my configuration:
[global]
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
workgroup = WorkGroup1
server string = Mike's Linux PC
hosts allow = 192.168.0.
[c]
comment = Mike's DOS C: Drive
writable = yes
path = /mnt/c
public = yes
I have my DOS drive mounted so that a friend can still get stuff from it,
even when I use linux...
Anyway, it shows up properly in his browse list.
I did have a problem recently with the M$ DUN upgrade, installed on a
second friend's PC, it killed the network continuity.. So, use
`smbclient -L [host]` on all the machines, and check that your Linux box
can "see" all of the others. I could not see my second friends PC.
