Go into the shell

:SH

and try

uname -n

that's probably where samba gets the node name from. Uname pulls it from the
node name (that you modify with NMMGR I believe).

                Actually, after further thought, I'm not sure it looks in
the NMCONFIG.  I
                am able to reach my Samba server from a PC using that name,
but that might
                be because we have a DNS entry for that name.  In other
words, it might just
                be standard address-resolution stuff.  Mark Bixby, can you
give us an
                authoritative answer?

                That was my first thought as well, but after reading the
smb.conf file
                (using vi, ugh!) and finding no mention of "servername" or
"sambaserver", I
                realized it had to be somewhere else.

                What is so very interesting is that the samba service can't
read the IP
                address and subnet mask from the NMMGR file, but has no
problem getting the
                server name from it.  Go figure.
