Hello,
My samba share works with smb.conf but the hostname won’t work… windows explorer doesn’t recognize \peikko even if my machine and netbios name is peikko, and /etc/hosts should be ok. It does recognize \192.168.11.2 .
My /etc/samba/smb.conf:
# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
