Hi all
I have a strange thing here.....
I did set up a printer server on my linux box #1 so my windows machine #2 can 
use it to print. Worked fine til.........
I have unplugged the windows machine disconnected from the network, added a 
beautiful 3 Gb hard drive, went to France for few weeks, turned the all lot 
down and when I came back rebooted the all lot.

To my surprise the windows machine (#2) can not see the Samba server on Linux 
box #1.
Now looking in the windows network specification it appears that domain group 
is not defined anymore as OEMWORKGROUP like it is in Samba.conf.

The linux box is working Ok, had a look under the logs, no complains, which 
makes me think that the trouble is coming from Windows (me playing with 
windows really)

Any idea where to look under windows. My guess is it should be a fairly 
common error but I do not know where to look really.
Cheers
E.
