windows-ubuntu network

[John Toliver]

I just installed 7.04, then upgraded to 7.10.  I managed to get both systems
to talk to my windows box by doing the "connect to server" >windows share>
instead of calling my computer by the netbios name I called it via IP>
username don't bother with password as it will ask you the first time you
connect>enter in the domain, workgrouo name.

Once I did this I could connect and see my shares on my XP box.  You can go
to the CLI and I'm not discouraging it, but this isn't that complicated.
Now if someone can tell my why I can't use netbios names for calling my
machines that would be wonderful.
