Angry Redhat Enterprise ES3 and smb.conf


Hi we have installed Redhat Enteprise ES 3 and currently have working just about everything except for the infernal (sic) network.

We can access the internet fine, we have smp and nmp running, we can access SWAT but seem to be having trouble connecting to our internal network.

The other 2 machines can "see" the Linux but when we try to connect to them we get "the computer or share name could not be found" below is the smb.conf file as it currently stands

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2004/04/12 21:20:26

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = STOREY
netbios name = LINUX
server string = clive samba server
password server = None
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
wins proxy = Yes
wins support = Yes
ldap ssl = no
guest ok = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0, 127.

[temp]
comment = temporary file area
path = /tmp
read only = No

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[Downloads]
path = /Downloads
read only = No

testparm says is ok..

internal machines are all running on DHCP.

but we cannot connect to other computers.

Also try to fire up Network Servers from the start menu with Nautilus and it says "Couldn't display "smb:///", because Nautilus cannot contact the SMB master browser.
Check that an SMB server is running in the local network."

Not sure if problem is with Samba settings or network settings or my brain any assistance greatfully accepted.

Cheers
