Re: Printer setup - another problem

["Ian Wright" <nospam [at] iw63.freeserve.co.uk>]

I've now realised that I have another problem which has appeared since
upgrading the machine to Mandrake. For some reason, my windows box doesn't
now see the linux box in Network neighbourhood. In an MSDOS window I can do
a 'ping 192.168.1.2' and get a proper reply but, if I try 'ping brass' it
tells me that it doesn't recognise 'brass', the linux box. I have checked
through the smb.config file and made it correspond to that on one of the
other linux boxes which does work OK on the network but it has made no
difference to 'brass' - where should I look for the problem?
