Hi, Lets assume your Winblows box is called NT1. On the Samba (FreeBSD rocks doesn't it ;-) server, put in the address for the WINS server, assuming the NT box is going to be the WINS server and HUP smbd and nmbd. On the Samba server then type smbclient -L NT1 -N That should give you the shares. To make another box the master browser, just set the os level = 33 and you will be fine. As for not seeing the Samba server on the NT box, make sure your IP addressing is good, and make sure that Samba is pointing to the appropriate server for password and username auth. -Lanny Baron On Tuesday 05 June 2001 15:40, Eric Boucher wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I wanted to know where to look at to make my window > PDC be the master browser.
