Hi,
As predicted I'm back with another unbelievably trivial question but I
cannot find an answer. I am trying to get SAMBA shares working and failing
miserably and I wanted to check the server name but having looked in every
corner of the desktop and searched the help files I can find no clue as to
how to find it or better yet change it.
You can change the name of the samba server in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file,
tag 'netbios name' section 'global':
............
[global]
netbios name YOURDESIREDSERVERNAME
............
hth
