(Get the code!)
When I remove WINS from nsswitch.conf, this breaks browsing entirely for me. Ping by name also fails - resolution is incorrect because of OpenDNS.
It seems I can connect and ping by name if I use the "servername.local" instead of "servername", even though I don't define the domain of my computers at all because it seems to be related to other bugs.
Can anyone with an OpenDNS style DNS provider suggest how they set up their system to allow SMB network browsing, connect by name AND ping by name?
Thanks,
Brandon
