Samba in RedHat8

[seekndestroy]

I have a few machine running Redhat 8 in a windows2000 mainly enviroment.
My problem is that I can map a drive from my winodws machines to the linux boxes, but when I browse my network neiborhood in the windows2000 machines I get an error message saying "domainname.com is not available"

Here are my configurations to the samba configuration file.

[global]

workgroup = mydomain.com


server string = Samba Server

log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log



security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd


unix password sync = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u


wins server = 192.168.1.50




[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
valid users = %S
create mode = 0664
directory mode = 0775

Thanks for any help

Do you have a firewall blocking the NMB ports (UDP ports 137 and 138)?

I changed my (workgroup = mydomain.com) variable to the bios name of my domain, windows sets aliases for domains so I changed the workgroup variable to "PBG" which is the alias for that domain and it worked.


Thanks
