LL 4.0 PCs are not joining Windows Workgroup

[ralphy]

I struggle to follow the mechanics of Samba shares at the best of times so any pointers to a remedy will be gratefully received.

To get back the Workgroup listing under Browse Network => Windows Network:


1- Edit smb.conf

Code:

gksu leafpad /etc/samba/smb.conf

2- Set the client max protocol back to NT1 under [global] smb.conf settings:


client max protocol = NT1


3- Save changes and restart the computer. Note: Restart Linux Lite, restarting smbd and nmbd services is not enough.
