RE: Reset password to allow Windows file sharing
Authored by: moist on Aug 26, '02 08:06:17PM
Can Windows machines on your subnet browse Windows machines on other subnets? If not, the Windows SMB network may not be correctly set up with the appropriate domain and local master browsers and/or the machines aren't pointing to a WINS server. This would be your company's network admin's problem (I hope that isn't you). Cross-subnet browsing of SMB networks can be a pain to get working - it's been the bane of many network administrators at my organization. This SAMBA document is great for explaining how Microsoft's SMB protocol works. http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/textdocs/BROWSING.txt
