Windows Does not see Dockstar Samba server

[qq220]

I think I have everything setup correctly, but I my Windows 7 Machine does not see my Samba server.

testparm output:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# testparm

My smb.conf
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' [global]

use sendfile = true

[media]
path = /media/stuff
read only = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
')

I should also note /media/stuff is an external hard drive formatted as NTFS.

Anybody have any suggestions? I've tried resetting it up using various guides found across the web to no avail.

Thanks.


EDIT: I am able to connect by putting the device IP in the address bar (\\192.168.0.86\media), but otherwise it won't show up. It is not as big an issue as before, but still it would be nice to have XBMC and the like auto detect it.

nmbd is runnig?

Yes, I made sure it was running.


It is not a big deal anymore though, I got my XBMC client streaming from it just fine once I punch in the IP

This actually fixed itself after I had to reinstall arch. It shows up under my workgroup now. It's kind of weird since I copied and pasted my old config file into the one I'm running now, but whatever
