Hi,
I have an f14 samba file server with several f14 work stations and a vista notebook and a win7 desktop.
On my f14 systems, if I go to Places > Network, It displays all the shares on all the systems except for homes for the f14 server and other f14 systems. If I go to Places > Connect to Server ... and select Service type Windows Share, type my server name, Share: homes, User Name: <username> and click on Connect, after authentication I see my home directory on the server.
On either vista or win7, Network does not display any smb shares. But again, I can manually mount any smb shares as network drives using C:> net use m: \servername\share_name.
Here is a copy of output from testparm smb.conf for the server:
$ testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384) Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[smbshare]" Processing section "[public]" Loaded services file OK.

[public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/test valid users = mom, dad, perryd, Dave, Dianne read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 guest ok = Yes
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Dave

---- traditionally 'HOMES', 'PROFILES' shares are not visible and thus, your setting 'Browseable = No' would be normal for the 'HOMES' share.
if you want the Windows systems to be able to locate the other systems just by browsing the network, you should make them all belong to the same 'Workgroup' (this system is MYGROUP and Windows default is MSHOME... make them all the same).
