Hi all.

Here's the thing, I disabled the DHCP since I don't need my server to run all day. So i pointed the first DNS on the router to the HDA, the other two DNS fields I filled with my ISP DNS.

And works well under windows 7, and mac OSX. But when I get to Fedora 15, only work if I type smb://hda.home.com on the place that should be smb://workgroup, where it just keeps searching and nothing. If I try to connect to my HDA through VNC, it fails too. I used to connect through hda:4, now it only goes through hda.home.com:4

VNC is working fine under Win7 and OSX.

Open firewall options and choose samba client to enable browsing of windows shares on the Linux box.
