And, I agree - long computer names are not non-domain friendly.

Is it possible for a network switch (a &quot;dumb&quot; one, i.e. not managed) to
not pass Windows network browser data? 

Scenario: New 24 port network switch. Several Win2K machines and some
Linux servers. Everybody can ping everybody. None of the W2K machines
can &quot;see&quot; any other windows box unless NETBUI (BLECH!) is installed. 

I've seen and worked on loads of M$ crap networks that can do the
browsing with nothing but TCP/IP on W2K machines. 

I'm spending the evening with Samba 3 docs for more testing tomorrow.
I'm stumped on this.

A possibly related side note: nbstat.exe is nowhere to be found on any
machine. Even the newly installed W2K machine.
