samba solved

[William Frick]

Hi Doug !

I have 3 installs and had the same problem,

In terminal: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
add lines so it looks something like this;

127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.1.1    Ubook
192.168.0.198   NAS
192.168.0.191   Helena
192.168.0.195   della

Change the names and IP addresses to suit your network and save, then you are done !

Bill

After periodic wandering for solutions to file access to a NAS, I found a solution. I edited the hosts file to include local IP addresses and Names. The smb.conf file was checked to see all machines had the same 'Workgroup' name but to no avail.
