I have two linux machines with samba on it. the first one is a PIII machine with Samba 3.0.24. It is the PDC. I can access all shares and files on it with my windows XP professional 64bit (Service Pack 1) system. The second one is a SuSE 10.1 machine (AMD 64 Bit) with Samba 3.0.25beta (also tried 3.0.24 and the 3.0.20 that came with SuSE). With 3.0.24 and 3.0.25b, I can do "net view" and see both samba servers. But with "net view \\computername", I can only see the shares on the PDC. Trying to view the shares on the other machine gives a "System error 50 has occurred. The request is not supported". All WinXP 32 bit systems do not have this problem.

Here are the configurations:
