In your smb.conf make sure you have the samba work group the same as other computers on your lan and restart the samba services.

Now, when I access my samba account from my windows box it works just fine when I do //192.168.0.x from start->run, however when I try //hostname it does not seem to work. Is there a reason why this is not working with the dns name but works when I use the explicit IP? We services work just fine when I access the web services using the hostname. Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- Simran H.
