I'll double check the "find computer" tomorrow when I get back at them.
I did note that the machine names are truncated in places as they are
rather long.

The nodes are set to be simple, non-domain workgroup machines. The
registry settings indicate none are to be master browser. Prior to my
arrival, a win 2003 AD server had been "setup" and nothing on the
network has worked right since. That machine is now a nice Fedora box :)
At least I solved one problem today :)

&gt; Subject: [ale] [semi OT] No CIFS data
&gt; 
&gt; Is it possible for a network switch (a &quot;dumb&quot; one, i.e. not managed) to
&gt; not pass Windows network browser data? 
&gt; 
&gt; Scenario: New 24 port network switch. Several Win2K machines and some
&gt; Linux servers. Everybody can ping everybody. None of the W2K machines
&gt; can &quot;see&quot; any other windows box unless NETBUI (BLECH!) is installed. 
&gt; 
&gt; I've seen and worked on loads of M$ crap networks that can do the
&gt; browsing with nothing but TCP/IP on W2K machines. 
&gt; 
&gt; I'm spending the evening with Samba 3 docs for more testing tomorrow.
&gt; I'm stumped on this.
&gt; 
&gt; A possibly related side note: nbstat.exe is nowhere to be found on any
&gt; machine. Even the newly installed W2K machine.
