hey ..
i'm using samba as a file server (latest) for Win Clients on Linux FC7 ( fc7 is also DNS server)
samba security mode set on "SHARE" mode ,
workgroup = "workgroup" , and netbios name = samba.
my problem is as follows:
i have access to the samba's share only using the
start->run UNC path ip or host dns name.
but, when trying to browse it trough "my netwok places"
it doesn't seems to appear.
also, i can't ping the samba netbios name ( don't know if its related).

any suggestions ?
