Hi,

does anybody knows how to get browsing to work.

Logging in is no problem, i can connect to shares, print and find computers 
but the browsing part just won't work.

I simply used the 2 pptpd-rpm's to setup the pptp-server. I'm using CHAP 
authentication for now.

My connections look like this:
-------------------------------------------

eth0 to the internet
eth1 to the local network 192.168.1.0
and when a client connects to pptp it gets:
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
           inet addr:192.168.1.1  P-t-P:192.168.1.52  Mask:255.255.255.255
           UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1450  Metric:1
           RX packets:159 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:126 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:10

My Samba server gives me the following:

Why is KARLIJN not in the browse list ????

I hope somebody can help me with this, i tried many of the suggestions on 
the internet but none of them was right for me.

Bye, Joost Havers.

ps. Is there a patch for the 2.2.18 kernel, so i can start using encryption ???
