So, this is the problem.....

I have a linux box, in a network with lots of windows boxes..., and one more linux box...

Up until yesterday, everyone was able to connect to my computer and browse my shares..., but now I don't even appear in the list of computers in the workgroup....

I guess it's a samba problem, and after browsing the forums for a answer I found none...., so I'm asking you guys!!

Everything seems to be setup as it should be, but there is one thing that's annoyng...

If I use YaST to configure my samba client, it give an error trying to join my workgroup..., saying that it found an invalid parameter in the smb.conf file....

the parameter is "host allow", now I commented that line, and tryed again..., and the same problem appear..., I went to the file, and aparently, YaST had added that line to the file..., why would it add an invalid line??? I don't get it......

Any one knows what might be wrong???

Thanks for the help!

well, work backwards- what did you change? can you change it back and have it work again?

Well, no, I can't go back, 'cause I don't know what I changed....I'll check those urls you gave me, but I need help!!!!

Update: I tried this on my computer:

2. Use the nmblookup -B samba-server-IP-address _SAMBA_ command on the server to determine if the samba software is running correctly. This should return the server's IP address if is running correctly.

[root@bigboy tmp]# nmblookup -B 192.168.1.100 __SAMBA__
querying __SAMBA__ on 192.168.1.100
192.168.1.100 __SAMBA__<00>

And I got this response:
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
added interface ip=192.168.110.96 bcast=192.168.110.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
querying __SAMBA__ on 192.168.110.96
name_query failed to find name __SAMBA__

The IP address "192.168.110.96" is my IP inside the network.....

How does that help me???

Thanks again!
