Hello,

I have a question. When i open Mijn Netwerk Locaties (In English: My network Places) i see this:

http://members.home.nl/m.brand/wl500g/Screenshot.JPG


The name of the samba server is: Samba 1.9.18p10

Can i change this name to File server or something?


Thx :)

No, unless you manually edit /etc/smb.conf.

What must be changed in smb.conf? I have searched www.samba.org but could not find anything?

server string =



Hmm.. that doesn't work.

When i typ in cmd: "net view" i see this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net view
Servernaam Opmerking

------------------------------------------------
\\ASUS-WL500G Samba 1.9.18p10
\\BENNIE
\\MAARTEN
De opdracht is voltooid.


But when i typ this: net view \\ASUS-WL500G is says:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net view \\ASUS-WL500G
Gedeelde bronnen op \\ASUS-WL500G

Asus WL500g File Server

Sharenaam Type Gebruikt als Opmerking

-------------------------------------------------------------------
All-Users Schijf Asus WL500g File Server
Users Schijf Asus WL500g File Server
De opdracht is voltooid.




the option:
Server string = Asus WL500g File Server

doesn't show the name in My Network Places, only when i use net view \\192.168.100.2


I want to change the name that is showed in My net work places!

did you reboot windows after changing stuff in smb.conf ? (and did you restart smb or the router after changing stuff) ?
