    Hello

    I'm running Samba 3.6.6 on a Debian appliance on a private LAN.

    Here's the host's /etc/samba/smb.conf:
    ==============
    [global]
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    netbios name = LINUX

    security = user
    map to guest = Bad User
    ;default user = nobody

    hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24
    hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

    log level = 2

    wins support = yes
    local master = yes
    preferred master = yes

    [myshare]
    path = /usr/share/myshare
    guest ok = yes
    writeable=yes
    browseable=yes

    force create mode = 0644
    create mask = 0664
    security mask = 0664
    force security mode = 0664
    ==============

    I can connect and read/write just fine from a remote Windows 7 host using
    the "net use z: \\linux\myshare" command, but the "net view" command returns the following error: "System error 6118 has occurred. The list of servers
    for this workgroup is not currently available".

    Any idea why Windows' Network Neighborhood is empty?

    Thank you.
