[SOLVED] Configuring Samba
I have a computer using Samba so it can share folders with windows, but for some reason if I type \\computername it doesn't show the shared folders, but if I type \\x.x.x.x (IP of the computer) it does, how can I fix that so the computers using windows can access the shared folders using the name instead of the IP?
Thanks in advance

You can edit your hosts file on your Windows machine to allow the LINUX-COMPUTER name to correctly resolve to an IP address.
Windows Hosts File
Entry:
Code:192.168.13.467 LINUX-COMPUTER
