This has been working fine for several months. It stops working when we disable NetBIOS on the client PC.
We would like to disable NetBIOS on all networked PCs if possible. Is NetBIOS required in the setup I have described?
Thanks for any info.

SolutionCheck your smb.conf and ensure that you have:
disable netbios = yes
You must use an alternate method for resolving host names. DNS is the preferred.
name resolve order = hosts bcast

Re: NetBIOS Question - redhat linux - winXP - file share
I don't understand why resolving hostnames would be an issue, since I am pointing to the share on the winXP client using the IP address of the client, not the hostname:
\\10.133.12.228\circ

Re: NetBIOS Question - redhat linux - winXP - file share
Samba should indeed work right with netbios disabled. Windows is another matter altogether.
Windows can't see the target machine.
The quick fix is to re-enable netbios and restructure the windows network carefully to eliminate netbios according to a work plan that covers this issue.

Re: NetBIOS Question - redhat linux - winXP - file share
Since I posted this, I have heard from the vendor of the Toshiba device that NetBIOS is indeed required, for the 'scan to file' feature.
Samba seems to be an option for the future, but for now, the easiest and fastest thing to do is re-enable NetBIOS on the winXP client.
