I am having problems naming the domain for samba. On my Windows network, I can see the domain, but it has the wrong name. It won't access anything from Windows, but it recongnizes it.
I tried to connect from a remote computer during the day and I somehow changed the name of the domain while doing so. Now I can't figure out how to change it back. I tried Linuxconf, but no luck. Like I said, I changed it from a remote location - command line.
I'm also having problems getting Swat to work. My problem started when I mixed 6.2 and 7.0 installation instructions.

In your smb.conf file in the /etc directory go to the Global Section and you can update the following lines:

workgroup = *YOUR WINDOWS NETWORK DOMAIN*
netbios name = *YOUR LINUX BOX HOST NAME*
server string = Samba Server (Can change this to be whatever you want to appear in the "Comment" section in Network Neighborhood)
