Hi,

I have Samba set up, I can access shares between linux and vista. There are some problems I am encoutering with name resolution.

From Vista, I have to connect to the shares using IP address only, I also cannot ping the linux box.

From Linux I CAN connect to the vista shares by using the computername, but I cannot ping the computername.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong and how to resolve this. Both machines are set up as WORKGROUP. Do I need to enable samba as WINS server? I have tried both.

If you need any more information let me know.
