Question Fedora 4: Samba running but nmblookup doesn't work and can't see in windows

Just installed Fedora Core 4 and trying to get samba to work. I can ping and access the web server on the Fedora machine from windows.

When I run nmblookup MACHINENAME, I get "name_query failed to find name MACHINENAME"

Any ideas?

Wink F4 and samba
Had the same problem, could not put files in the samba share.
basically disabled the SE Linux to fix the problem.
