Hi all,

I recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a PC. This PC is connected in a Windows
network. All Windows PC's can see eachother when browsing the network but
they can't see the Ubuntu box. I shared a directory on this Ubuntu PC. From
a Windows machine I can access this map by "Run as 10.0.0.157" (the IP
adress from the Ubuntu machine). But I still can't see the machine when
browsing the Windows network.
The Windows PC's use Netbeui for internal communication and TCP/IP for the
outside world. The Ubuntu box works fine and can even print over a Windows
printserver.
How can I make this Ubuntu PC appear in the network for the Windows PC's,
just like the other Windows PC's?

Thanks in advance for your help.

With best regards,
Fokke Nauta

Have you installed, and configured, samba?

Yes, Samba is configured as far as Ubuntu lets me configure it.
It works, as when I type on a Windows machine "Run (open) 10.0.0.175" I see
a log-in window and after giving the correct password I am in the shared
directory of the Linux PC and can access the files there. Note that
10.0.0.175 is the IP address of the Linux PC.

Rgs,

Ubuntu lets you configure it as much as you'd possibly ever need to.
Just edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. You'll want to make sure you
have the workgroup properly defined.

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

It is pretty well documented.

I had a similar problem. It turned out to be caused by the software firewall on my Windows PC. You might try turning off your Windows firewall and see if that changes what you can see. If so, then look at the advanced configuration of your Windows firewall to see what particular messages it should not block.

Thanks. I turned off the XP firewall but it didn't change anything. Nice
tried!

I thought I had configured Samba correctly and looking into the smb.conf
file I did not see anything wrong. Of course I have defined the workgroup
name.
Samba works OK as I am able to connect to a shared directory from a Windows
PC. I have to hut Run and then the IP address of the Ubuntu PC. That works
fine. But I would have liked the Ubunto PC to turn up as a PC in the network
just like the other PC's, as seen from a Windows PC. And that doesn't seem
to happen.

I don't have any Windoze boxes here, but maybe if you made samba the master
browser on your network, it will give you what you're after?
