CIFS share showing in windows browser - how?

[acommons]

Hi,

I seem to have CIFS/SMB enabled under 3.4.d on CentOS 5.5. I can access it by mapping a share using:

\\<ip-of-server>\Alfresco

But I cannot get it to show up in the browser listing at all, nor can I see it using various net commands under Win XP.

Is there some way I can determine what the server is using for cifs.domain? I know what I've got in alfresco-global.properties and I know what I've got in file-servers.properties (the same value of course) but at present it is behaving as if it's using something else.

Anything buried in an admin screen somewhere? Anything specific I can do to get it to log it?

cheers

Hi,

I believe that you should be able to determine what the server is using for cifs.domain by looking at the Samba config file.

e.g.

On linux look at /etc/samba/smb.conf

In there you will see a line with:

[global]
  workgroup = xyz
  …

The workgroup should match your cifs.domain

Regards.
