Samba path through windows.....

[abhilashm86]

I've installed samba in ubuntu 10.04, then i'm able to access through windows7 by 'map network drive' and my workgroup name is WORKGROUP.

How to access files from windows7 without mentioning ip address from map network drive??

Now i'm doing the following,
\\192.XXX.X.X\foldername .

I don't want to use ip address of the machine, but the workgroup name.

Workgroup name won't work. You'll need to use a machine name instead.

And you will need a WINS server running to map domain names to IP addresses
