Samba Woes: Network name cannot be found

[Andis Lazdinsh]

Hi

I had the same problem, when upgraded from edgy to feisty and even with 
fresh feisty install with old (edgy) and new smb.conf file. After 
spending half of day for internet search and trying different versions 
of smb.conf modifications I switched back to edgy. And everything, 
except shared HP1220C printer, works again.
