help with workgroups and samba

[Cheetoz]

I'm running samba + swat.

when I go to smb://cyprixnet I see my computer name, but it's only a file with no extension. Clicking it states "The file name UBUNTUBOX indicates that this file is of type "desktop configuration file"."

Doing smb://workgroup/computer just opens up the text file with

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=UBUNTUBOX
Type=Link
URL=smb://UBUNTUBOX/
Icon=gnome-fs-server

Looks right, but it doesn't link to it.


If I do smb://192.168.1.3 or smb://UBUNTUBOX/ it works fine.

This is my config file

     [global]

workgroup = CYPRIXNET
netbios name = UBUNTUBOX
interfaces = lo, eth0
bind interfaces only = true
server string = UbuntuBox Samba Server
announce version = 5.0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes

wins support = yes

    passdb backend = tdbsam
    security = user
    null passwords = true
    username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
    name resolve order = hosts wins bcast

     [media]

path = /home/samba/
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
available = yes
public = yes
writable = no

     [private]

path = /home/chago
browseable = yes
valid users = chago
writable = no
available = yes
public = yes
