I found this which has worked<br /> with my boxes:<br /> <br /> 1.) Make sure that Samba is setup properly and you can see the Linux<br /> samba shares from the Windows boxes.<br /> <br /> 2.) edit your /etc/nsswitch.conf file<br /> search for the line starting with hosts (my line was like this &quot;hosts:<br /> files dns&quot;)<br /> add &quot;wins&quot; to the line (&quot;hosts: files dns wins&quot;)<br /> <br /> <br /> Andy<br /> Suse 10.2<br /> &lt;pre&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</div>
