[Techtalk] Linux, Samba, and Windows XP

[Rudy Zijlstra]

Daly,

I suspect you have both servers active, with both Wins service enabled. 
MS network can handle only one of those though.
Also check that the server name (netbios name) is different on the two 
machines (easy to make mistake when copying the config file).

Good luck,

Rudy
