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

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).
