That's the parameter I've already set to the correct value.
As for ReactOS, they do go on about why they're not Wine, but it'll be interesting to see if anyone cares, and if the performance can be trusted.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I misunderstood. That should be it, I'd check to make sure that it is in the [global] section and make sure that smbd has been restarted to pick up the change. I'm not sure what is up past that.

You could also run 'smbclient -L localhost' to see what it thinks it's doing. If the workgroup in that output isn't what is set in the smb.conf file, then something is just wrong with smb.conf or the smb process isn't getting the updated configuration somehow.

I think they share code with Wine, but I don't think they are based on a UNIX kernel. So definitely not Wine, but with Wine style limitations with regard to compatibility. I've run stuff with Wine and it can work really well and really badly or not at all depending on the application. I'd guess that it would integrate a lot better with the system on ReactOS than on Linux though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I really need to learn to not check Woot! unless I am prepared to buy. Today they have a Magellan GPS for $189. I have long wanted a portable GPS. Today will, sadly, not be the day I get one.
I'll probably pick up some kind of laptop stand today to help cooling this massive beastie.

Thing is, Vista says that the Ubuntu box is in the network location I specified in its smb.conf--I just don't know where I can set the Ubuntu box's workgroup. I don't understand Windows networking-wise how those are different.
eta: I don't mean the bolding to look like I'm talking down--just to highlight the distinction.

I believe in Vista speak the network location is the TCP/IP domain name while the workgroup is the name of the peer to peer network on top of TCP/IP.
The workgroup setting in smb.conf equates to workgroup in Vista. The domain name is not really meaningful if you don't have DNS for your lan.
Using 'smbclient -L localhost' should tell you the workgroup the Ubuntu box thinks it's in.

Thanks. I'm very confused now that I'm away from the box which parameter's actually set to the correct value, since from browsing the web it looks like it's workgroup. But when you posted I did go in and check the file...
I will smbclient when I get home. Thanks for the instructions.

WHAT? I really hated having to load maps anytime I went out of the LA basin on my lil handheld GPS. (Can you say Moorpark gig! Oy vey)
It's what the stimulus check is for, right? Lets see... Tires $400, GPS, $194. That leaves $6 to put towards savings. It IS the American way!
