Hi,

I'm using a small network with one FreeBSD server and
one Win2k Pro client. I wanted to know if it is
possible to be able to browse via the network
neigborhood to see my unix server. Because I can't get
it to work. Do I need Win2k server edition? If I do:
c:> net view /domain:my_domain_name, I didn't see my
server in there, nor do I when I go thru the network
neigborhood in windows. I can only access it when I do
a "find computer". It found it in my_domain_name (that
is, the right domain). Does somebody did it with win2k
Pro?

Here is some of my configuration:
-Try both security = domain (or user)
-wins support = yes
-domain master = no
-workgroup = my_domain_name
-netbios name = my_unix_server_name
-Try both os level = 0 (or 65)
          local master = no (or yes)
          preferred server = no (or yes)
          domain logons = no (or yes)
-encrypted password = yes

Note: this two commands work correctly.
c:>net view \\server_name
and
c:>net use * \\server_name\homes

Thanks

Eric
