corrupt names on network places
Hi

I have a network which contains 1 linux pc with samba file share setup and around 60 windows xp pcs.

When you click on network places to get the list of computer/server names the further you look down the list the names are all corrupt. !!

Why is this and can it be sorted.Is it a netbios problem ?

We do have a dhcp server but do not run wins (im not sure what the wins is)
Thanks
Nick
