While running the tests suggested by margaret, I ran
nmblookup -B photon __SAMBA__
and got back
querying __SAMBA__ on 192.168.1.20
name_query failed to find name __SAMBA__
The web page indicates an inetd problem - which I could have addressed.
I see that Fedora is using xinetd, and I don't see any smb or nmb
settings in the xinetd.d directory (I grepped for both). While this
*MIGHT* be OK, I'm suspecting a problem here. Should there be entries
for smb and nmb? If so, what should they be (and in what files?)
Thanks much
