Cannot see my Linux computers in network browsers.
Hi all,
I have a home network consisting of 2 linux machines and 2 xp machines. My ISP is AT&T and I am using their 2WIRE modem/wireless router. The Linux machines are connected by ethernet (hard wired) the 2 xp machines are wireless. My AT&T system summary page detects all 4 machines. I can successfully ping any machine from any other machine on the network. I have used Samba to setup the home network. My problem is that when I open the network browsers of any machine only the xp machines are visible. The names of the linux machines on the AT&T Summary page seem to have been assigned by AT&T and they are using the hostnames of the machines. I do not know how to change the names of these machines on the AT&T network. Does anyone have the knowledge to help me? Thanks.
