Hi all,
I have run into this problem while trying to setup a CentOS based NAS for a friend of mine. We are using CentOS 6. The share on server can be accessed by it's IP. I have setup netbios name for the server. But that does not help. We need it to show up on Windows Network Places automatically.
It would not have been a problem we were to access files through the Windows machine. The files shared should be accessed by other devices too in which there's no option to input IP.
Here's the smb.conf file:
[root@genserv-sl6 ~]# sed 's/^\t//g' /etc/samba/smb.conf | grep -Ev "^[#;]"
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = MYSERVER
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = share
passdb backend = tdbsam
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
[winshare]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /share
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
[root@genserv-sl6 ~]#
Help me out please!!! Is it something to do with WINS?
