Hey Folks:

I have a Ubuntu box living on a LAN with a bunch of Windows 7 boxes. I have all the Windows boxes set to the same unique workgroup. I have also set up Samba on the Linux box and changed the "Workgroup" setting in smb.conf file to the same workgroup as the Windows boxes. I stopped and restarted the smbd service after making the setting change hoping that the Linux box would now be visible across the LAN.

However, the Linux box is not "visible" by the other Windows machines.

What am I missing here? It should be super straight forward, no?

Thanks!
