I want samba to deliver file services to my Windows XP client. The problem is, Windows XP searches for other PCs when I click on Windows Workgroups from the "My network" icon.... but nothing shows up, and the search for the domain bombs out.
Both client and server on on the same work group.... but the client cannot see the samba server! They can both ping each other OK, and I can ssh into the server from the client.... but samba? It's just not working....
Arghh..... they're both connected through a broadband router.... and THAT seems to be blocking the share from appearing. When I connected the PCs up directly and samba shows up.
Now I just have to figure out how to configure this stupid broadband router.
